Every year, a slew of celebrities parades down the Grammy Awards red carpet. Their ensembles often spark trends that translate into everyday life and serve as fashion inspiration for the coming year. Due to the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements, black has dominated the red carpets. Although black has prevailed on the red carpet, the same is not true for street style. All over the world, people are wearing striking colors and patterns and letting their individuality shine through. I have compiled a list of my best-dressed celebrities wearing both black and colored garb to strut down the red carpet, and hopefully inspire your 2018 looks.
