The red carpet is not what is used to be. Credit this change to women, especially the ones who don't want to put their fingers in a mani cam, the ones who want to answer better questions, and the ones who want to wear pants. Perhaps following Lorde's lead with trousers plus a fancy sports bra, a deep squad of women forwent dresses at Sunday's Grammys. In tailored suits, cropped pants, and onesies, they looked great. As a woman who's never enjoyed wearing dresses, I'm glad to see this whole buffet of better formalwear options, and eager to see who'll sell the best suits this spring.
Charli XCX slayed a pink tuxedo

Daniel Haim chose a perfectly tailored white suit; Alana Haim a slim black jumper

Helen Lasichanh wore an Adidas jumpsuit

And Rihanna performed in this show-stealing power suit

Anna Kendrick went deep-V tuxedo

And Jane Fonda rocked this emerald one-piece

Jenny Lewis brought back the rainbow suit from her album cover

Gwen Stefani paired trousers with a bustier

And Madonna landed somewhere weird between suiting and a dress, topping shorts with fringe
