The 2020 Grammy Awards is the latest stop on the award season train—and the red carpet proved to be a stage for statement looks, despite some of the biggest names skipping out on a show-stopping arrival. Royalty like Beyoncé, Rihanna, JLo, and more skipped the carpet, leaving room for breakout stars to claim their style slot. Ariana Grande opted for a romantic dove grey; Dua Lipa, arm-in-arm with boyfriend Anwar Hadid, revived the ’90s; and host Alicia Keys and Cardi B showed off enviable frames in second-skin sequins. Here, the best looks of the night from the 2020 Grammy Awards.Cardi B
