The world’s biggest names in music are at the 61st annual Grammy Awards red carpet in Los Angeles today.

At no other awards show is fashion more all over the place than the Grammys.

Faux fur, leather, lace, velvet, rubber, studs and sequins are all at home on the red carpet, including pro-Donald Trump messages.

Singer Joy Villa arrived wearing a dress that stated ‘Build the Wall!” on it.

Lady Gaga is having a massive night, having already won three awards.

This year’s Grammys will see Lady Gaga, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ricky Martin, Brandi Carlile, Miley Cyrus, Camila Cabello, Cardi B, Post Malone, Shawn Mendes, Janelle Monáe, and Dan + Shay take to the famed stage.

Dolly Parton was also honoured at the awards ceremony and performed live with Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Kacey Musgraves, Maren Morris and Kimberly Schlapman of Little Big Tow.

Diana Ross has also performed and Drake surprised everyone when when he emerged on the Grammy stage to accept the best rap song trophy but told the room of musicians that winning awards isn’t necessary if you have real fans attending your concerts and singing your songs.
