JEDDAH: The fashion accessory of the Grammy Awards: A single white rose worn in solidarity with victims of abuse and as an appeal for equality.
Arab designers, meanwhile, managed to gain their share of the spotlight on the red carpet on Monday as several A-listers turned heads arriving in exquisite Middle Eastern couture.
Saudi-born, Beirut-based fashion couturier Mohammed Ashi designed for Heidi Klum and Grammy nominee Cardi B.
The Arab designer’s garments have been worn by countless A-listers in the past, including Lady Gaga, Celine Dion, Demi Lovato, Fergie and Ava DuVernay.
Klum wore a a bold Ashi Studio sheer black dress while Cardi B wore a custom-made gown, which featured a high-low hem, full off-the-shoulder sleeves and multiple tiers to provide volume to spare.
Just hours after wearing a design by Lebanese couture brand Azzi and Osta, Beyoncé chose a custom-made black velvet dress by another Lebanese designer, Nicolas Jebran.
E! host Keltie Knight wore a beaded peach column gown from Beirut-born designer, Elie Saab.
Singer Ashanti sparkled in a gold, long-sleeved Yas Couture by Elie Madi dress.
The Lebanese fashion designer is a popular choice among celebrities for award events.
Overall, the often-wacky Grammys fashion was more subdued than usual. There was plenty of black — both in traditional tuxedos and dresses and in more edgy outfits.
Lady Gaga, Katie Holmes and Kelly Clarkson were among those who decided on black for the red carpet, as did Miley Cyrus, in a nicely done pantsuit by Jean Paul Gaultier. She changed into a red tulle gown by Zac Posen to perform.
R&B artist Bruno Mars won six Grammys, including song of the year for his hit single “That’s What I Like,” and both record and album of the year for “24K Magic.”
