See music stars’ best and worst fashion

By BEATRICE DUPUY, Associated Press

The Grammys are a night of rule-breaking looks and memorable fashion statements where artists shed the traditional playbook of red carpet dressing and take style risks. For music’s biggest night Sunday, celebrities will playfully toe the line between costume and contemporary whether it’s with sexy, dramatic or eccentric ensembles.

Stars respectfully toned down their attire last year, choosing instead to go with more subdued or all black looks in light of the destruction left by the Los Angeles wildfires.

At this year’s Grammys red carpet, artists will surely push the envelope again.

Singer-songwriter Darren Criss was one of the first to arrive shortly after the carpet opened. Criss, who is hosting the Grammys premiere ceremony, donned a shimmering lace suit with an off-white silk cravat shaped into a bow. He paired it with his signature painted nails.
