Rapper Megan Thee Stallion, the queen of the hot girl summer, sizzled on the Grammys red carpet Sunday as music's biggest stars emerged from a year of pandemic lockdowns in their best couture.

At the Emmys last year and the Golden Globes last month, red carpets were muted affairs, with only a few stars actually in attendance -- and the rest Zooming in from home, in either gowns or pajamas.

But music's biggest night -- always the event with the boldest looks -- featured a more traditional fashion parade, as many of the industry's top names attended the socially distanced gala in Los Angeles and performed.

Megan, who won three awards on the night including the coveted Grammy for Best New Artist, slayed in a bright orange strapless Dolce &amp; Gabbana gown with a high leg slit, a dramatic bow on the back -- and tons of diamonds.

Dua Lipa, who won for Best Pop Vocal Album, got the memo on the high slit -- she donned a barely there gauzy spaghetti-strap Versace confection with a pastel butterfly bodice, cut-outs and a see-through skirt.

And then on stage, she wore even less, shedding a voluminous fuchsia cape to reveal... a pink bikini, thong back and all.

Nominated singer and rapper Doja Cat paid tribute to one of the most iconic Grammys looks ever -- Jennifer Lopez's dramatic plunging Versace gown -- in a Roberto Cavalli gown with a moto jacket bodice unzipped to her navel and a skirt of neon feathers.

Sister act Haim delivered a symphony of coordinating iridescent lavender Prada outfits on the red carpet, and then changed to basic black and gold for their stage performance.

Rocker Phoebe Bridgers wore one of her signature skeleton outfits -- but this one was a Thom Browne dress studded with plenty of sequins, pearl beads and crystals.

She told E! network that the Thom Browne creation in fact was the initial inspiration for what became her look, noting: "I asked for it... I basically stole it."

Of course, there was mask couture -- Taylor Swift -- a winner for Album of the Year -- perhaps did it best, with flower appliques all over her face covering to match her blossoming Oscar de la Renta mini dress.

But the biggest star of the night slipped into the gala without walking the red carpet -- Beyonce.

Queen Bey, who made history Sunday when her four wins helped her set a record as the female artist with the most Grammys wins at 28, sported a fierce off-the-shoulder black Schiaparelli leather mini dress with a plunging neckline.&nbsp;

- Feather boas and studded gloves - 
Of course, the men of music were not to be outdone.

British singer Harry Styles, who won his first-ever Grammy for Best Pop Solo Performance for "Watermelon Sugar," donned a leather jacket, matching pants and a green boa -- all by Gucci -- to sing the song.

On the red carpet and to accept his award, Styles wore a yellow-checked jacket and a purple boa.

"This is Harry's first Grammys, and so we wanted to do something that felt British and eccentric," his stylist Harry Lambert told Vogue. "A little bit rock 'n' roll and a little bit camp."

Nominated rapper DaBaby hit the red carpet in a wild patterned suit with a green and red hat. When he hit the stage to perform "Rockstar," he changed into a white suit with studded gloves.&nbsp;

And finally, joining Lipa for "Levitating," he rocked a pale pink suit to match her dreamy pastel look.

Latin trap star Bad Bunny -- a winner for best Latin pop or urban album -- certainly took the prize for the best accessory of the night: a black knit hat with ears.

BTS to present at the 2019 Grammy Awards

With only a week left for Grammy Awards 2019, it’s a good year for India as three Indian-origin musicians find themselves in the nominations list.&nbsp;

Falguni Shah, Prashant Mistry and Snatam Kaur Khalsa have made it to the list in different categories at the awards. While Snatam performs new age Indian devotional music, kirtan, and tours the world as a peace activist; Falguni is competing in the Best Children's Album category.

Speaking to Mid-Day, Snatam said, "For Beloved, I spent a good amount of time developing the pieces because I wanted each to be one that people could connect with, listen to and chant along to. In the Sikh tradition, there's a reference to (a principle called) call of response. It's not about one person's performance. There's a community response [that's required]. So, in this album, [I've kept] enough space for people to sing and chant.”

Falguni is competing for her album Falu's Bazaar that is packed with Indian flavours, like the track Masala (where she decodes Indian spices for her son), or a Gujarati lullaby crooned by her mother.

The third musician, Prashant Mistry is a London-based singer who is nominated in the Best Immersive Audio Album category. He describes it as "a call to empathy in times when powerful forces are trying their best to drive us apart."&nbsp;

Grammys 2019: Three Indian-origin musicians in race for the coveted award

Rappers Kendrick Lamar and Drake led Grammy Award nominations on Friday, with eight and seven nods, respectively.

Grammy organizers said in June they would expand to eight from five the number of nominees in the top four categories - record, song and album of the year, and best new artist - to allow a more diverse line-up. Five artists had been nominated in each category since the Grammys were first awarded in 1959. 
 
Hip hop and R&amp;B surpassed rock for the first time in 2017 as the biggest music genre in the United States, according to a Nielsen Music report.
