Music’s biggest night returned with all the glitz and glamour we could hope for, as the 67th Annual Grammy Awards lit up Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena on February 2, 2025. Hosted for the fifth time by the effortlessly witty Trevor Noah, the evening was a celebration of musical excellence, high fashion, and headline-making moments.
Biggest Wins of the Night
Beyoncé made history—again—by securing Album of the Year for Cowboy Carter, a genre-blurring masterpiece that showcased her versatility. With this win, she became the first Black woman in 26 years to claim the coveted award and extended her record as the most-awarded artist in Grammy history.
Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar dominated the rap categories, taking home Record of the Year and Song of the Year for Not Like Us. The powerful track swept the night, cementing its place as one of the most decorated rap songs of all time.
In the pop world, Sabrina Carpenter had her breakout moment, winning Best Pop Vocal Album for Short 'n Sweet. The rising star also delivered a stunning performance that left audiences in awe.
Fashion Moments That Stole the Show
If the Grammys are a stage for musical greatness, the red carpet is a runway for fearless fashion—and this year did not disappoint.
Beyoncé shimmered in a beaded, figure-hugging gown that had everyone talking. A minor wardrobe malfunction almost stole the show, but Queen Bey handled it with her signature grace.

Charli XCX channeled couture magic in a dramatic Jean Paul Gaultier ensemble, proving she’s not just a pop icon but a fashion risk-taker.
Olivia Rodrigo served vintage glamour in a Y2K-era Versace dress, effortlessly blending nostalgia with modern cool.

Sabrina Carpenter embraced dreamy elegance in a feathered, pastel-blue halter gown by Jonathan Anderson, making it one of the night’s most talked-about looks.
Billie Eilish kept it edgy yet refined in a custom Prada suit, adding a touch of her signature nonchalant cool to the high-fashion affair.
The men also brought their A-game. Troye Sivan turned heads in a lilac-hued Prada suit, while Teddy Swims showcased his signature bold style with pearly accents.
A standout accessory? The blue heart-shaped pin spotted on multiple attendees, symbolizing support for fire relief charities, reminding us that fashion and activism go hand in hand.
Unforgettable Moments
From surprise collaborations to emotional speeches, the Grammys delivered countless viral moments. Beyoncé’s historic win had the audience on their feet, Kendrick Lamar’s performance was electrifying, and Olivia Rodrigo’s stripped-down ballad left not a dry eye in the house.
As the night ended, one thing was clear: the 2025 Grammys weren’t just about trophies—they were about music’s power to inspire, unite, and dazzle. Here’s to another year of unforgettable artistry!
