2026 Grammys Menswear Breaks Rules with Bold New Styles

From Corsetry to Western-Core, Men Redefined Red Carpet Style

The Grammy Awards 2026, held on February 1, delivered a noticeable shift in men’s fashion. The traditional black tuxedo took a back seat as artists embraced gender-fluid couture, western-inspired looks, and bold, experimental tailoring.

Here are the men’s looks that dominated conversation throughout the night.

Bad Bunny in Schiaparelli

Bad Bunny made fashion history as the first man to wear a custom look from Schiaparelli Haute Couture.

From the front, his black velvet tuxedo appeared classic. From behind, it told a different story — featuring a dramatic corseted back with gold grommets. Finished with Cartier diamonds and subtle measuring-tape details on the lapels, the look blended masculinity with couture craftsmanship.

Justin Bieber in Balenciaga

Justin Bieber stayed loyal to his oversized aesthetic, stepping out in a sharply structured Balenciaga blazer paired with ultra-baggy trousers.

The look made headlines for more than fashion. Bieber wore a small white “ICE Out” pin — a viral political statement supporting immigration reform protests — and completed the outfit with a 100-carat diamond necklace by Lorraine Schwartz.

Sombr in Valentino

Gen Z breakout artist Sombr, nominated for Best New Artist, delivered one of the night’s most daring outfits.

His shimmering silver Valentino suit, designed by Alessandro Michele, was paired with a lace top and seafoam-studded slippers. The result perfectly captured the “soft-boy glam rock” aesthetic that dominated TikTok throughout the evening.

Harry Styles in Dior Men

Though he skipped the red carpet, Harry Styles still went viral as a presenter.

He wore a speckled black-and-white Dior Men blazer with satin lapels, styled shirtless with blue jeans and mint-green shoes. The look balanced high-fashion tailoring with casual denim, proving the power of effortless contrast.

Shaboozey in Bode and Ralph Lauren

Country-rap artist Shaboozey leaned fully into the western-core trend.

He wore a custom Bode ensemble that reimagined the tuxedo through a denim lens, styled with a statement belt and cowboy hat. The look echoed the wider “Cowboy Carter” influence that shaped much of 2026’s fashion conversation.

Honourable Mentions

Gesaffelstein went viral in a sharply tailored tuxedo paired with a high-gloss black face mask, earning him the night’s “mystery man” title.

Pharrell, Pusha T, and Malice coordinated in dusty-pink velvet Louis Vuitton suits, signaling a polished return of millennial pink.

Jon Batiste stood out in a military-inspired jacket heavily embellished with sequins, pearls, and gemstones.
