NEW YORK \u2014 Sparkly, studded and strutting in designer looks, the Grammys parade of often out-there fashion kicked off in a downpour Sunday, but that didn’t dampen spirits as the music industry’s best showed off their myriad outfits.<\/p>\n

Cardi B had a spot of trouble walking in a sculpted look that evoked a peeled banana, only pinkish. Michelle Obama popped up in a metallic trouser outfit onstage and Jennifer Lopez donned a huge white bejeweled hat.<\/p>\n

Lady Gaga chose a silver strapless gown and Post Malone was in a light pink embellished jacket and matching pants. The Lopez topper pointed to a popular accessory of the evening \u2014 statement hats. Her topper was in white with a brim for miles, embellished to match her dress of the same shade and embellishment.<\/p>\n

Lopez appeared loose and relaxed as she posed for photographers with boyfriend Alex Rodriguez, who wore a colored dress jacket in liquid-looking metallics.<\/p>\n

Katy Perry arrived in a pink confection that prompted comparisons to a cake topper.<\/p>\n

Kyle Tree of the EDM duo Grey was inadvertently ready for the weather in a rain slicker that was, yes, the colourgrey, as was his hair and that of music partner Michael Trewartha, both among the night’s nominees in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

There were guests dressed as butterflies, neon looks and several outfits with long capes in unusual places, on jumpsuits and short dresses.<\/p>\n

Top nominee Kacey Musgraves wore an ethereal belted gown in a nude hue with a daring fan-like bodice, while Camila Cabello appeared cozy in a long-sleeve sparkler of a bright pink gown with a high neck.<\/p>\n

The K-pop sensation\u00a0BTS\u00a0showed up in black tuxedos and colored hair, including purple and green, while Maren Morris sported a huge winged decoration on one shoulder of a floral halter gown with a plunging neckline as she prepared to take the stage.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don’t know, I’m all about subtlety,\u201d Morris joked to The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

Dolly Parton wore a short red dress with a ruffle lapel and a chunky jewel centerpiece. Dua Lipa won best necklace of the night, a huge diamond piece in a circular design.<\/p>\n

Fantastic Negrito, the Oakland, California-born blues artist, represented in a red suit with large, colorful swatches for pockets. His silver necklace of two fish used to be a belt buckle, said the upcycling enthusiast.<\/p>\n

Members of Weezer, on the other hand, kept it relaxed in scoop T-shirts under jackets that included mauve and baby blue.<\/p>\n

Ben Harper went full bedazzle in a jacket showing off yellow sequins worn with a broad-brim hat.<\/p>\n

Repeat political provocateur Joy Villa, who attended last year in a gown decorated with a fetus, dressed as President Trump’s wall (think tinfoil) and carried a Make America Great Again handbag. She first made a Trump splash two years ago in Trump messaging.<\/p>\n

Shawn Mendes went for a deep blue Paul Smith jacket with wide black lapels and open collar underneath.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was so nervous to dress for the Grammys,\u201d he told the AP. \u201cI felt like, how do you be classy and still stand out?\u201d<\/p>\n

Purple was an It shade of the evening. Grammy winner H.E.R. sparkled in the collar in a gown made for her by Coach, with sunglasses in the same shade.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt makes me feel like I’m shinin’. I feel like a star,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
