Grammys 2016: Best and worst dressed (Kirk McKoy / Los Angeles Times (left and center), Jordan Strauss / Invision/Associated Press (right))

2/12

Adele ranks among the best dressed of the 58th Grammy Awards red carpet, thanks to her custom Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci dress with allover embroidery that combined paillettes, crystals and pearls for just the right level of dialed-back glamour.

(Kirk McKoy / Los Angeles Times (left and right), Paul Buck / EPA (center))

3/12

Florence Welch earns a spot on our best-dressed list thanks to the pale pink silk chiffon long-sleeve gown with ruffle neckline, sequin trompe l’oeil belt detail with star, heart, moon and dragonfly embroideries from the Gucci pre-fall 2016 collection. Not everyone’s cup of red carpet, perhaps, but it seemed to capture the magic and whimsy of the chanteuse.

4/12

Carrie Underwood was one of the first to hit the Grammy Awards red carpet – and one of the first to make our best-dressed list thanks to her stunning Nicolas Jebran gown.

(Kirk McKoy / Los Angeles Times (left and right), Jason Merritt / Getty Images for NARAS (center))

5/12

Ellie Goulding’s bespoke Stella McCartney blush-colored V-neck gown was Hollywood elegance from the front but rock ‘n’ roll from the back – thanks to diamond drape detail.

(Kirk McKoy / Los Angeles Times (left and right), Kirk Paul Buck / EPA (center))

6/12

Kacey Musgraves’ strapless purple ombre gown from Armani Prive fall 2015 is a confection in feathers and beads – and makes her a shoo-in to the 58th Grammys best-dressed list.

(Kirk McCoy / Los Angeles Times (left and center), Jordan Strauss / Invision/Associated Press (right))

7/12

Selena Gomez in a Calvin Klein Collection tanzanite sequin dress with cutouts was one of the dresses that struck the right tone at the 58th Grammy Awards.

8/12

Cam’s yellow dress that fades to white at the ruffled train – by Georges Chakra – was among our favorite red-carpet looks of the night.

( Jordan Strauss / Invision/AP)

9/12

Although Taylor Swift’s coral crop top and magenta skirt by Atelier Versace was certainly on trend, it felt too informal – even for the Grammy Awards red carpet. She’s done better – much better – and even the slinky, sparkly number she wore to perform would have been a better choice. The leg slit that kind of became a front slit helped earn her a spot on our worst-dressed list.

(Kirk McKoy / Los Angeles Times)

10/12

We’re not sure who made Joy Villa’s Grammy Awards dress -- and we’re not sure we want to know -- but it was definitely pulling focus on the pre-show red carpet. It looks like it very well could have been made from the rib cage of some prehistoric animal -- or some of the set pieces from “Game of Thrones.” If you recall, at last year’s Grammy’s she turned up in a dress that appeared to be made of something that resembled orange Caltrans barrier tape. If she’s booking for a lengthy run on the worst-dressed list, she’s off to a great start.

(Valerie Macon / AFP/Getty Images (left), Jordan Strauss / Jordan Strauss / Invision/Associated Press (right))

11/12

Ciara’s Alexandre Vauthier haute couture black silk chiffon leopard crystal embroidered slip dress was another dress that was on trend but off the mark. Not even a headline-making leg-slit saves us from adding her to our worst-dressed list.

(Jordan Strauss / Invision/Associated Press)

12/12

Thundercat looked like he’d been up in the Arctic Circle fixing the Sno-Cat before the Grammy Awards. Proudly. So he gets a spot on the worst-dressed list – proudly.

1/13

Grammys fashion hall of fame and shame (Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles Times)

2/13

If the 2015 Grammys had one standout fashion moment, it was Rihanna’s arrival in a swirl of hot pink tulle that was Giambattista Valli’s Empire waist bubble gown.

(Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles Times)

3/13

Pharrell Williams, right on both photos, in an Adidas short suit made using 3M light-reflective materials that turn the light gray fabric a blindingly bright white when photographed with a flash. Neither a worst-dressed or a best-dressed look, it was definitely one of the more novel.

(Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles Times (right), Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP (left))

4/13

Katy Perry in a short sheath dress covered in icicle-like crystal fringe by Zuhair Murad at the 2015 Grammys.

(Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles Times)

5/13

Pharrell William’s outfit at the 2014 Grammys might not have exactly been high fashion – jeans and a red Adidas track jacket layered over a T-shirt – but the outsized Vivienne Westwood Mountain hat he chose to complete the look launched a social media frenzy and catapulted the hat to instant icon status where it has remained ever since.

(Wally Skalij / Los Angeles Times)

6/13

Beyonce probably deserves her own hall of fame category for head-turning Grammy looks like this sheer, white floral lace gown by Michael Costello that she wore at the 2014 awards.

(Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles Times)

7/13

Katy Perry struck just the right note at the 2014 Grammys in a full-length Valentino Couture gown with black musical note embroidery (the score to Verdi’s “La Traviata”).

(Wally Skalij / Los Angeles Times)

8/13

Beyonce wore a graphic black-and-white Op Art-inspired crepe jumpsuit by Osman Yousefzada in 2013, proving that you don’t need to wear a gown to make a style statement.

(Kirk McCoy (left and center), Allen J. Schaben (right) / Los Angeles Times)

9/13

Katy Perry in a form-fitting, cleavage-baring mint green Gucci dress from 2013’s Grammys.

(Robert Gauthier / Los Angeles Times)

10/13

Lady Gaga has served up no shortage of memorable red carpet looks (meat dress, anyone?), but the Giorgio Armani Privé dress she wore on the 2010 Grammys red carpet -- strands of pink, glittery wire that seemed suspended in orbit around planet Gaga and accessorized with a massive silver spike orb -- struck the perfect balance between elegant high style and out-there interplanetary weirdness.

(Jay L. Clendenin / Los Angeles Times)

11/13

If there’s one dress that would definitely make it into our fictitious Grammy Red Carpet Hall of Fame on the first vote, it would be the green tropical leaf print Versace dress worn by Jennifer Lopez in 2000.

Arguably the most famous dress in Grammy history, this sheer, gravity-defying number had a neckline that plunged well past the belly button, cinched just above the pubic bone with a sparkly brooch and required the strategic deployment of double-sided fashion tape to keep street legal.

12/13

In 2015 Madonna turned out in a butt-baring burlesque matador outfit by Givenchy.

(Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles Times)

13/13

Nicki Minaj’s blood-red custom Atelier Versace silk dress and hooded cape ensemble at the 2012 Grammys stuck with us not just because of the Little Red Riding Hood meets Flying Nun vibe but also because she accessorized the look with a guy dressed like the pope.
