The 2026 Grammy Awards turned the red carpet into a daring display of near-n*de fashion, leaving fans stunned and sparking a tidal wave of online debate.
Compared to the 2016 Grammys, where stars favored elegant gowns and tailored suits, this year’s ceremony showcased outfits that pushed the limits of sheer fabrics, cutouts, and provocative designs.
Turned heads
Fashion trends naturally evolve, and everyone probably has their favorite era. Lately, though, we’ve seen more and more celebrities showing up at events in outfits that are sheer, see-through, or barely there.
It grabs attention, pushes the boundaries of fashion, and lets them showcase confidence and style. With beauty teams, resources, and peak moments in their careers, they can pull off looks most people couldn’t, and get away with it.
Designers argue these daring looks are a celebration of freedom and a bold reflection of our shifting attitudes toward nudity. Critics, on the other hand, call them a play on the male gaze.
