While some Black stars shined bright on the red carpet at the 2025 Grammys on Sunday, others had looks that made us give side eyes and left us truly scratching our heads. The first of which was Jaden Smith who made sure his house found a home at this year’s show.

Aside from Smith’s architectural look, this year’s awards show was pretty legendary thanks to winners like Kendrick Lamar, who took home five out of seven awards for Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance, Best Music Video, Song of the Year and Record of the Year for “Not Like Us.” With his wins, he became the first rapper to ever have a diss track win a Grammy. Beyonce also won for Best Country Duo for her song “II Most Wanted” with Miley Cyrus and later made history as the first woman in 26 years to take home the win for Album of the Year for her genre-expansive album, “Cowboy Carter.”
But you didn’t come here to get into the winners, you came to indulge in all the fashion trainwrecks that took over the red carpet. So, without further ado, here are some of the worst looks!
