All the Stars Who Showed Skin at the 2026 Grammys, from a Hint to a Whole Lot

The Grammys tend to be the most boundary-pushing of all the red carpets, and these stars certainly didn’t disappoint

There are a few things you can always count on at the Grammy awards: Energetic performances that make it hard to stay in your seat. A surprising win or two. At least one new artist that makes you wonder if you’re getting old. And of course, the most eye-popping dresses on pretty much any red carpet, anywhere — particularly those that show a little skin.

The 2026 Grammys didn’t disappoint, delivering some seriously sexy, sultry and surprising styles from Heidi Klum’s hard-to-walk-in body cast to Chappell Roan’s nipple-ring-dependent gown. See the stars who dared to bare, below.

Chappell Roan’s custom Mugler by Miguel Castro Freitas was a trompe l’oeil design inspired by a number from the 1996 Mugler runway … but even if those weren’t her actual nipple rings we were seeing, she still had to cover up for the broadcast.

Being seen in the spotlight of an award ceremony gives artists a chance to grab headlines and perhaps for the lucky ones, that brief moment might spark a movement.

While much of the talk at the Grammys was political, wows and whispers about who’s wearing what on the red carpet always set tongues wagging, and the fashion on show this year didn’t disappoint.

Spoiler alert: Readers who dislike or feel uncomfortable about nudity should be careful about scrolling further.

Tuxedo, penguins and bow-ties dominated men’s outfits with few straying far from the tried and tested pack. That isn’t to say that those who opted for more classic attire didn’t look good, but in terms of standing out and seizing the moment, Sombr redefined his name with his shiny and sparkling outfit made by Valentino.
