Grammys 2020: Best and worst-dressed on the red carpet

Stars including Ariana Grande, Chrissy Teigen and Priyanka competed for the most OTT outfit on the Grammys red carpet.

This year’s Grammy Awards are already bathed in controversy.

Last week, the organisation’s axed CEO Deborah Dugan made a slew of damaging allegations about the music awards, suggesting they are corrupt.

The question now is whether anyone will refute or even reference Dugan’s allegations during today’s ceremony.

Then there’s the matter of basketball legend Kobe Bryant’s tragic death in a helicopter crash today, just hours before the Grammys. The ceremony is being held at LA’s Staples Centre, Bryant’s home stadium, and the show is expected to feature several tributes to the sports star.

You can watch all the Grammys action in Australia on Foxtel: The ceremony airs live on Arena from midday.
