Charli XCX brought drama to the red carpet at the 2025 Grammy Awards on Sunday in Los Angeles. The artist is nominated for eight Grammys, including Record of the Year and Album of the Year for her 2024 summer hit “Brat.”
For the awards show, Charli opted for a custom design courtesy of Jean Paul Gaultier, guest designed by Ludovic de Saint Sernin. The singer wore a gown with a thigh-high slit at the front of the dress and a bevy of ruffles on the skirt. The dress also included a standout element of a corseted bodice, providing the look with a defined silhouette. The corset featured a lace-up element at the back.

The ruffled elements continued to the sleeves of Charli’s gown and around the neckline. The singer paired the dress with knee-high black sandal heels. She accessorized her look with pieces courtesy of Bucherer Fine Jewelry.
As for her glam, Charli’s hair was styled with sleek waves and a middle part. Her makeup included bold brows, a smokey eye and a glossy, neutral lip. The “360” singer’s look was curated by stylist Chris Horan, who’s also worked with Christina Aguilera.
