Grammy Awards 2017: All the stars and style from the red carpet

CROP tops, dramatic cut-outs and thigh-high boots ... Lady Gaga and Rihanna certainly added sex appeal to the Grammys red carpet.

Katy Perry took break from music for her mental health: 'I haven't shaved my head yet!'

LADY Gaga has gone full goth at the Grammys — a nod to her performance with Metallica.

The Perfect Illusion singer turned heads wearing, well, not much at all.

She showed off her toned stomach and underboob in a black-on-black ensemble, which included fishnet stockings and thigh-high PVC boots, along with a high-neck jacket with the chest completely cut out.

The outfit, which looked like it had been purchased from an X-rated shop, seemed to be inspired by Metallica or even Marilyn Manson.

She teamed the statement look with a pair of aviator sunglasses and blood-red lipstick.

Jennifer Lopez went for a feminine dusty purple gown by Ralph and Russo, while Rihanna — who used to date Draka (aka JLo’s current love interest) — wore a black and orange crop top and ball skirt ensemble by Armani Prive.

Speaking of Drake, he was nominated for eight Grammys but didn’t attend because he is touring in Europe (perhaps that’s code for he didn’t want to run into his ex).

Beyonce — who was the most-nominated artist at the Grammys — stunned in a golden tribal costume for her showstopping performance, later teaming the look with a matching veil.

The Grammys guest list seemed a little light on this year.

Views rapper Drake, who has eight nominations, is touring in Europe, Justin Bieber — who was also nominated — has apparently questioned the awards’ relevance and declined to attend.

And Kanye West, well, he said he wouldn’t go if Frank Ocean was not nominated. “I’m not showing up to the Grammys. As artists, we’ve got to come together to fight the bulls**t,” West said, according to people.com.

Ocean — whose album Blonde was one of the most acclaimed albums of 2016 — did not submit his work for consideration, telling the New York Times that the Grammys “doesn’t seem to be representing very well for people who come from where I come from”.
