2023 Grammy’s Inspired Event Dressing
Last night was the 65th Annual Grammy Awards, and while Beyoncé made music history for taking home the most awards in one night, it seems every nominee made their mark with knockout red carpet looks that kept us glued to our screen. From Lourdes Leon’s corseted red sheath to Lizzo’s ruched metallic mini, there were a host of lyrical ensembles worthy of this year’s Best Dressed lists. Wondering how to turn up your event-bound looks in 2023? Read on for our rundown of the Grammy’s inspired occasion trends to get into now.
The Look: Disco Fever: Silver Dresses
As Seen On: Lizzo, Mary J.Blige, Lauren Hashian, Paris Hilton, Machine Gun Kelly
Why We Love It: Nothing takes your look to the next level quite like party-ready metallics. And whether Machine Gun Kelly’s shimmering silver suit or Mary J. Blige’s long-sleeved sheath is more your speed, it’s one striking look that won’t fail to turn heads.
The Look: Rock the Party: Statement Jumpsuits
As Seen On: Harry Styles
Why We Love It: The show-stopping kaleidoscopic one-piece Harry Styles rocked at the 2023 Grammys proved that, once again, genderless looks are the ultimate style statement. We love an amped-up jumpsuit for its modern out-of-the-box silhouette. Just remember: an all-black tuxedo makes just as big of an impact.
The Look: As Long as It’s Black: Chic LBDs
As Seen On: Doja Cat, H.E.R., Queen Latifah, Camila Cabello, Anitta, Ella Mai, Charlotte Laurent, Olivia Rodrigo
Why We Love It: The LBD, or Long Black Dress, is arguably the most enduring red carpet look of all time. Last night’s 2023 Grammy’s iterations ran the gamut from floor-sweeping dresses to skin-baring cut-outs. Available in a host of shapes and styles, this streamlined go-to never fails to make the chicest statement.
The Look: How to Stop Traffic: Red Dresses
As Seen On: Lourdes Leon
Why We Love It: A daring, lipstick-red getup exudes confidence. Take Lourdes Leon, for instance. Madonna’s daughter wowed in a shimmering rouge corset dress at the 2023 Grammys, following the release of her first single. While she wasn’t a nominee this year, her striking dress signaled everyone should watch this space.
The Look: First Blush: Pink Dresses
As Seen On: Kacey Musgraves, Camila Cabello, Bebe Rexha
Why We Love It: Modern fabric treatments and unexpected cuts render this formerly too-sweet hue a modern must-have. From soft rosy hues to Valentino’s spectacular Hot Pink FW22 looks, thinking pink is now officially cool.
Most-Wanted: The New Claire Ballet The ballet flat revival that began last year remains in full swing. And why wouldn’t it? The shoe is practical, versatile and, as Tory told Vogue in an interview last year, its sheer simplicity lends itself to endless creative evolution. And yet, we always come back to a classic. Enter: the Claire, which nods to Tory’s blockbuster ballet flat origins but with decidedly modern proportions: clean lines, a high vamp. It’s refined yet discreetly designed with a view to comfortable all-day wear: an extra padded sole with rubber pods and a ruched heel that ensures a secure fit. 
Welcome to Cosycore This year’s hero casual trend is, at its core, the embrace of all things comfort. Be that translated, not just in the clothes we put on, but in lifestyle. A weekend away; bundled-up walk and pub Sundays; cold months holed-up inside – this is the sartorial embodiment of that, but made aesthetic by a few key pointers. 
Clothes for Chic Dudes and Unhinged Moods We Tried on the Best of the FW23 Menswear Collections, Straight off the Runway For lack of better words, the menswear runway shows and presentations this January had weird vibes. With two of luxury’s biggest jobs vacant, designers and show-goers alike were coiled in a state of unease. Gossip, idle speculation, and the oncoming deep freeze of a recession dominated the ambience—not to mention that the weather itself was totally frigid. A FW23 menswear collection presentation was not a time to let your hair down, let alone stick your neck out, which made any good ideas one happened to see feel even more courageous.
