LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - FEBRUARY 01: Chappell Roan attends the 68th GRAMMY Awards on February 01, ...

The 68th Annual Grammy Awards fully delivered on all major fashion fronts. From Best New Artist nominee Olivia Dean, who looked ethereal in custom Chanel, to Miley Cyrus suiting up in leather Celine, the 2026 Grammys red carpet at Crypto.com Arena served up celebrity style moments worth remembering. But one trend that stood out from the rest? Barely-there, chest-baring looks that were equal parts daring and deliberate.

Early arrivals like Tyla and Addison Rae kicked the night off in plunging necklines. Rae wore a ruffled white custom Alaïa asymmetric dress with a sculptural neckline down to her belly button, while Tyla opted for an archival Dsquared2 silhouette from the brand’s fall/winter 2013 ready-to-wear collection. As the night unfolded, the trend took on more literal interpretations. Heidi Klum turned heads in a nude latex midi dress that accentuated her nipples, while Grammy winner Chappell Roan said it all with her chest. Roan wore a plum-colored sheer Mugler gown (inspired by one of their 1998 designs), held up by nothing more than her pierced nipples.

The exposed chest silhouettes were both unexpected yet totally made sense as a natural next step of the naked dressing movement that has dominated recent years. Plus, the Grammy’s is the perfect place to test out such a risqué trend. If this award ceremony has any say in it, you should be seeing a lot more chest-baring moments this year.
