THE jumpsuit is having a moment — and we are absolutely loving it.

The Grammys red carpet is full of jumpsuits (also called rompers or playsuits) this year — Taylor Swift, Gwen Stefani and E! presenter Guilana Rancic are all rocking the look.

Taylor’s clearly a fan of the (very short) jumpsuit. She wore a similar style by Greek designer Mary Katrantzou to the VMAs last year.

On the weekend, Kylie Minogue was a perfect example of how to rock a looser-fitting style at the Roc Nation Pre-Grammy brunch in California.

It looks even better from the back ...

The navy spotted Stella McCartney jumpsuit was also worn by Elle Macpherson in LA last month.

The black jumpsuit has become as popular at the LBD for many women. It’s flattering, solves the pants-or-dress dilemma and is super sexy. The only downside? Going to the bathroom.

Teresa Palmer rocked a sexy Dion Lee cutout jumpsuit to the David Jones Autumn/Winter 2015 Collection Launch last week, and TV presenter Sophie Falkiner sported a similar look at the same event.

Black seems to be the preferred shade of choice when it comes to jumpsuits.

But jumpsuits can also go terribly wrong.

Hot tip: Avoid blush tones. Not even Gwyneth can pull it off.
