Red carpet: Grammy Awards 2013

The Grammy Awards celebrated its 55th anniversary this year and the stars were out in full force to help honor the nominees. Cut-out accents, sheer details, the color black and Roberto Cavalli gowns were all popular red carpet choices last night. Glamour prevailed over shock value and several celebs upped the style ante with striking statement jewelry. Here are some of the standout fashions from music's biggest night.



Carrie Underwood turned heads on the red carpet in this ornate black lace embroidered gown by Roberto Cavalli styled with a diamond statement necklace. Taylor Swift's white pleated J. Mendel Spring 2013 gown included striking embellished accents. She accessorized with an Ofira ring, Lorraine Schwartz earrings and Jimmy Choo Lance sandals. It was a fiery custom Azzedine Alaïa gown for Rihanna. Neil Lane jewels and Manolo Blahnik heels finished off the look.



Beyoncé skipped a formal gown and went with a Osman black crepe jumpsuit with exaggerated shoulders. Lorraine Schwartz jewelry and a Swarovski clutch polished off the look. Natasha Bedingfield's embellished Emerson Spring 2013 red gown was accented by a gold belt. Marina B gems rounded out the look. Adele stood out in a red and black embroidered Valentino Spring 2013 Couture dress, which was shortened from the runway.



Gucci was behind the green Resort 2013 gown with embellished collar and revealing front keyhole accent Katy Perry wore to the annual awards. Faith Hill shined in this embellished little black dress from J. Mendel's Pre-Fall 2013 offering. Lorraine Schwartz jewels, a Bottega Veneta clutch and Tom Ford pumps all served as accessories. Nicole Kidman looked lovely in a gold embroidered Vera Wang gown. Fred Leighton gems, a Roger Vivier clutch and L'Wren Scott shoes completed her look.
