Sooo, the Grammys happened on the weekend and it was a big night for the world of music. There were plenty of wins – particularly for Bruno Mars, Kendrick Lamar and Childish Gambino – but the losers didn't leave disappointed after being awarded "consolation puppies" during the awards ceremony.

Kesha tore the house down with an emotional performance of Praying in support of the #MeToo movement, and Rihanna became a new meme with her
very into-it dance moves during her performance of Wild Thoughts. And of course, there was the moment when Blue Ivy became an instant internet hero after shushing her parents,
Beyonce and Jay Z, for clapping too enthusiastically.

As always, no celebrity-centric industry event would be complete without the show put on at the red carpet. Celebs wore all-black to the Golden Globes in solidarity with the Time's Up movement, and this sentiment carried on to the music awards ceremony too, with most attendees wearing black, white, or a pinned white rose to show their support.
Our favourite A-list names brushed up real nice and wore some pretty snazzy outfits at this year's Grammy, and here are the best of the best.
1. Lady Gaga
Reminiscent of the meat dress days (sort of), Gaga went for a monstrously bold look this year with huge platform boots and a black gown with high-necked lace and a super-long train.

2. Rita Ora
That extreme side split and cinched waist turned heads on the red carpet, and Rita worked it.

3. Miley Cyrus
The singer kept it classy in a chic black jumpsuit combined with a clean and polished hair/makeup look. Very glam!

4. Chrissy Teigen
The model accompanied her singer husband to the awards and totally stole the show in a sequinned silver number that looked stunning over her pregnant belly.

5. Lorde
The 21-year-old was up for Album of the Year and her dress bore an important message – in the form of a feminist poem literally sewn onto the back of her dress.

6. Lana Del Ray
The singer wore Gucci and an actual halo on her head because why the hell not?

7. Beyonce
Queen Bey looks like she's fresh from the cover shoot of her new album with that hat and those shades and the earrings and the sleeves and OMG THERE IS SO MUCH GOING ON HERE.

8. SZA
The R&B artist was up for five nominations and although she didn't bring any home, she looked absolutely fab in her Atelier Versace gown.

9. Alessia Cara
The 21-year-old singer-songwriter was the only woman to bring home a major award after winning Best New Artist. She rocked sneakers and a suit on the red carpet – unconventional but something that we're so here for.

10. Cardi B
This phenomenal butterfly/origami dress is from Ashi Studio, and it works so well with the hip-hop Grammy nominee.

11. Heidi Klum
The 44-year-old model wore the same designer and damn how does she still look so good?

12. Hailee Steinfeld
How anyone could make those metallic purple boots look sexy is a mystery to me, but the actor-turned-singer somehow managed it with the crisp white gown she was wearing.

The monochrome parade of celebrities was as glamorous as ever, and all for a very good cause. Applause for all of them, and let's hope Blue Ivy doesn't give us the
shhh! gesture too.
