The 2022 Grammys kicked off Sunday night amid the sparkling nightlife of Las Vegas. Following an explosively controversial Oscar ceremony, anticipation tinges the opening notes of music’s biggest night of the year. The stars, however, are certain to shine on the red carpet as they show off their boldly lavish looks.
Billie Eilish arrives fresh off an Academy Award win for her crooning Bond song “No Time to Die.” Megan Thee Stallion also made an appearance on the carpet tonight after a show-stopping performance of “Encanto” hit “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” at last week’s Oscars.
Among the night’s nominees are Jon Batiste, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Olivia Rodrigo and more. Doja Cat stuns in a baby-blue beaded gown, the sheer skirt adding flair accentuated by a spiky up-do. K-Pop sensation BTS certainly doesn’t need permission to dazzle on the red carpet. The group is slated to perform later in the evening, a week ahead of their four highly anticipated Permission to Dance Las Vegas shows.
