The stars were out in force for the 65th annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night. Here's a look at the most memorable outfits on the red carpet.

Speaking to journalists on the red carpet, she said: "My whole country is watching and Brazil is waiting for this. If you have a story suggestion email [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). Singer and songwriter Anitta said she was "making history" as the first Brazilian artist to be nominated for best new artist at the Grammys in nearly half a century. Leather-clad Doja Cat was nominated for a handful of awards including record of the year for Woman. It was all white on the night for Shaggy, who was nominated for best reggae album for Com Fly Wid Mi - a collection of Sting-produced Frank Sinatra covers. Brandi Carlile was up for many of the night's biggest honours, including album and record of the year.

Harry Styles' picked up the coveted best album prize, Viola Davis completed an EGOT, and Beyoncé became the most decorated artist in Grammy history. Here are ...

but there was a glaring absence from Drake and Eminem, both of whom are boycotting the Grammys, saying it sidelines hip-hop from the major categories. "This is just a magical evening. "And ever since, we've gone everywhere," The newly-married Mr J. A deep and affectionate dive into black and gay dance culture, it was the most critically-acclaimed release of 2022. I felt on the outside looking in. Because it seems to be: "Stop being so impressive and write music we feel comfortable with". It's a sentiment that's not entirely out of character. This time Harry Styles took the crown. But for all that love, the big prizes have eluded her. This was at a time when positive music and feel-good music wasn't mainstream and I felt very misunderstood. "When we lost Prince I decided to dedicate my life to making positive music.

Viola Davis accepts the award for best audio book, narration, and storytelling recording for “Finding Me: A Memoir” at the 65th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday, ...

"I wrote this book to honor the 6-year-old Viola, to honor her, her life, her joy, her trauma, everything," Davis said. The actor gave an emotional speech and emphatically said "I just EGOT" after she marched on stage to collect her award. "It has just been such a journey." "I don't think I could be here without Madonna," Petras said. Sam Smith and Kim Petras won best pop duo-group performance for their song "Unholy." Veteran singer-songwriter Bonnie Raitt shrugged off big-name rivals like Adele, Swift and Beyoncé to win the song of the year award. She has released two albums as a lead artist and also won the Grammy for best jazz vocal album earlier in the night. She added four trophies to her collection for her album "Renaissance." Now, I look around and see these songs are about loving your body and feeling comfortable in your skin and feeling good." It feels really nice to feel like 'Oh, that's the right thing to do.'" "It feels like validation that you're on the right path," said the singer backstage. "I'm trying not to be too emotional," the superstar said after her historic win as her husband Jay-Z stood and applauded her.

We were expecting a Beyoncé vs Adele rematch, but Harry Styles' surprise win showed a deep lack of imagination at the 2023 Grammys, writes Mark Beaumont.

In terms of the fundamental visions involved, they’re in different leagues: Beyoncé pioneers, Styles imitates. The Grammys have a grand total of 91 award categories across a vast array of genres, but most are presented during an unscreened Premiere Ceremony before the main show like one relentless, 90-minute howl of “diverse enough for you, Twitter!?”. So the 2024 Beyoncé Knowles-Carter Robbed Again Award goes to.… Already, Styles had delivered the most lacklustre performance of the night, first spotted wandering about on a revolving stage full of dancers – well, more like loiterers really – before his rendition of “As It Was” was upstaged by his own sparkly yeti outfit. When these two superpowers of female fortitude and redemption last clashed in 2017, the Brit singer swept the board – and expressed her dismay in her [Album of the Year](/topic/album-of-the-year) acceptance speech. It was the second time running that Beyoncé had been robbed of the AOTY gong, having lost out to Beck in 2015.

Fans have expressed concern at pop legend Madonna's appearance at the 2023 Grammy Awards - with some suggesting she “didn't look” like herself.

She also mentioned the pop legend, adding: “I don’t think I could be here without Madonna”, The star asked: “Are you ready for a little controversy?” Petras made history by becoming the first transgender artist to win the award.

The queen of pop broke records – though not for the big gongs, again. But if the Recording Academy has a history of unexpected choices, this year's wins for ...

[Harry Styles](https://www.theguardian.com/music/harry-styles)’s Harry’s House beating Renaissance to album of the year doesn’t feel the same as Beck’s Morning Phase triumphing over [Beyoncé](https://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/dec/13/beyonce-album-first-review) in 2015, nor does it feel the same as if, say, Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres had won this year. [Beyoncé](https://www.theguardian.com/music/beyonce) has only ever won one of them once – song of the year in 2010 for Single Ladies – which seems a fairly inexplicable state of affairs: you don’t need to be a rabid member of the Bey Hive to know that she’s had an immense cultural and commercial impact over the last 20 years. Under the circumstances, Samara Joy – a hugely gifted jazz vocalist, gradually emerging as a significant songwriter as well as an adept interpreter of standards – feels like a worthwhile choice: rooted in tradition, but too soulful to qualify as easy listening. The weirdest success was Bonnie Raitt’s [Just Like That](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Skd0XR3twCA) winning song of the year, at least from the perspective of the UK, where the album it’s from didn’t even make the charts. Certainly they’re one of the biggest-selling groups in a field where several of the nominees didn’t even seem particularly new: Molly Tuttle’s first album came out in 2006; Tobe Nwigwe’s first EP six years ago; Muni Long is 34 and released her debut album, albeit under her real name, Priscilla Renea, in 2009. Without wishing to cast shade on those doughtily toiling away in the areas covered by the best score soundtrack for video games and other interactive media and best new age ambient or chant album categories, the Grammys are ultimately about four awards: album of the year, record of the year, song of the year and best new artist.
