Beyoncé nodded to her country era with a glamorous gown this year, and it worked.
She wore a custom piece from Schiaparelli that was tan, covered in sequins, and sleeveless with a scooped neckline.
It was glamorous and called back to old Hollywood with its matching gloves. Still, the outfit also honored Beyoncé and her latest body of work, “Cowboy Carter.”
The dress was beaded with small white Bs and a larger paisley print, which gave the gown a subtle Western vibe.
Her attempt at a neutral-colored gown in 2010 didn’t translate as well.
She walked the red carpet that year wearing a Stéphane Rolland gown crafted from a satin fabric.
The neutral-colored dress had short puffed sleeves, a plunging neckline with a zipper detail, and textured shapes from top to bottom.
The same design would have looked cool on a top or skirt individually. However, the pattern was overwhelming on a dress and too strong for such a delicate shade and fabric.
Beyoncé also wore gold hair tinsel and statement earrings that clashed with the gown’s color.
The textured minidress she changed into in 2010 was one of her best looks at the Grammys.
Beyoncé changed into a metallic number from Armani Privé during the awards ceremony. The short dress had statement short sleeves, a deep-V neckline, and loose chains that intentionally hung from the garment.
The outfit was eye-catching, glamorous, and perfectly accessorized.
She wore it with gold platform sandals, statement hoop earrings, and an assortment of bracelets and rings.
One of her worst, however, came in 2007.
Giorgio Armani designed her dress, which was strapless and made from silk.
Its silver color looked stunning on Beyoncé, but the dress didn’t seem to fit her right. Its neckline flap was uneven, and its wrapped skirt was just a touch too long, making it appear to have excess fabric.
The dress was also embellished with large crystal pieces at the waist and neckline, so Beyoncé didn’t need the oversize jewelry to elevate the outfit.
Beyoncé changed into a simple yet classic gown at the 2023 Grammys.
Beyoncé wore three different outfits throughout the 2023 Grammys, and her final look — a black velvet Schiaparelli gown — was one of her best.
The strapless dress featured an angular, square-shaped neckline, hugging her figure and cinching at the waist.
She paired the dress with matching gloves for an elegant and fashionable look.
The black-and-white jumpsuit she wore in 2013 was underwhelming compared to her other Grammys looks.
Beyoncé arrived at the awards show in an Osman jumpsuit with short sleeves and a high neckline. Most of the look was black, though one sleeve and half the bodice were white.
The ensemble wasn’t as exciting or high-fashion as some of her other outfits, and it appeared more professional than red-carpet ready.
At her first solo Grammy Awards in 2004, Beyoncé rocked an all-gold dress that made her stand out on the carpet.
The gown, designed by Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, hugged her figure and featured ruching on the bodice and waist, forming a pleat down the center of the skirt.
Bejeweled netting created a halter neckline, and gems ran down the center of the bodice.
Gold earrings and shoes completed the gilded look, which was perfect for an evening on which she won five Grammys.
One change could have made a huge difference to Beyoncé’s 2021 outfit.
She accepted a Grammy onstage that year in a Schiaparelli minidress. The leather garment had off-the-shoulder sleeves, a V-shaped neckline, and ruched fabric that made the piece edgier.
While the sheer tights she wore pulled the look together, her black gloves did the opposite. The leather pieces with gold nails distracted from her outfit and made it look more like a costume.
By removing the gloves, fans could have appreciated her statement earrings and stunning hairstyle better.
