As host of the 61st annual Grammys, a cooly confident Alicia Keys made several wardrobe changes, including jumpsuits in red, black and green. But we were especially here for the custom Armani Privé crimson long-sleeve gown with buttons lining the center, plus Bulgari earrings, ring and necklace the star rocked on the red carpet.

Cardi B.

Cardi B. made history, becoming the first solo woman to win a Grammy for Best Rap Album. Part old Hollywood glamour and part futuristic fashionista, the Bronx rapper didn’t disappoint with her grand entrance in a vintage Thierry Mugler Couture outfit (from the 1995 collection) featuring a sheer bodysuit and black skirt that opens into a structural shell-like creation, accented by pearls around her waist, neck and beehive do.

Tracee Ellis Ross

Like her mom, Diana “The Boss” Ross, Tracee Ellis Ross is a fashion leader — not a follower. And at the Grammys she commanded the spotlight in a bright green Ralph & Russo wide-leg suit with embroidered serpent belt.

Jada Pinkett Smith

Isn’t she lovely? Jada Pinkett Smith stuns in a V-neck Roberto Cavalli Couture embroidered gown with feathery skirt and elaborate train.

Best R&B Album winner H.E.R. (real name Gabi Wilson) has a sporty Boho chic vibe, and we love her in this purple custom Coach jumpsuit embroidered with crystals and paillettes, which she tops off with blue sunglasses and a maroon clutch.

The veteran TV star clenched her first Oscar nomination and win for Best Supporting Actress ( If Beale Street Could Talk) in an ivory custom-draped Oscar de la Renta gown with thigh-high slit, plus Christian Louboutin pumps and Chopard jewels. As RuPaul says, “You’re a winner, baby!”
