Charli XCX went full gladiator for the Grammys 2025.
The artist has been one to watch this year after her hit album Brat defined the summer with a fashion aesthetic of its own. So, her Grammys 2025 red carpet look has been highly anticipated by fashion lovers as a culmination of the brat trend that took over feeds all summer long and even well into fall.
The singer arrived on the red carpet wearing a gray-blue Jean Paul Gaultier gown that's been in line with her Sweat Tour aesthetic. The dress included a dramatic frilly, V-neck top that cut into a corset around her waist. The gown draped down to the ground in layers of tulle, with a dramatic split in the middle that showcased her legs and gladiator-style heels. The peep-toe knee-high black boots gave the outfit an edgy look that's been a signature to her brand as of late.
Charli XCX's makeup artist Nina Park used Valentino Beauty to up the singer's cool girl aesthetic. The glamour was 90s-inspired and included a dark smoky brown wing and a nude lip. Charli wore her long, curly hair down her back and parted in the middle.
As the pioneer behind the brat movement, Charli XCX churned out look after look, and some were truly unforgettable. Well before the album dropped, she seemingly hinted at the indie sleaze vibes on the Met Gala 2024 red carpet in May with a distressed dress, spiky hair and black lipstick. Then, there was also the Saint Laurent naked dress, just to name a few. Even celebs like Addison Rae and Katy Perry took a page from Charli XCX’s brat playbook, wearing looks inspired by the “365” singer.
Sure, Charli XCX is being recognized for her music tonight, and the Grammys are all about music after all, but it’s undeniable that she’s made her mark in the fashion world as well. And her Grammys 2025 red carpet look has the potential to be an extension of that.
Charli XCX is also set to perform tonight. So, we’re willing to guess she has at least one or two more looks up her sleeve. More inspo for our brat mood boards!
