The 58th Grammy Awards was filled with the best of the best throughout the music spectrum at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Monday night (Feb. 15).

And while other red carpets for music events have showcased some over the top and more eccentric looks, those who attended this year’s Grammys seemed to want to keep things classy while showing off their personal styles. While The Weeknd and Justin Bieber went for the more classic tailored suits and tuxes. Then Wiz Khalif rocked a shorter blazer. Meanwhile the ladies, for the most part, kept things in the monochorme family, sexy, and chic. Black seemed to be the color of the night and you know you can never go wrong with black.

Adele, Ciara and The Weeknd‘s girlfriend, model Bella Hadid, decided to wear black while a very pregnant Chrissy Teigen rocked a white frock. Newcomer Andra Day stunned the crowed in her old Hollywood glam . Then there’s pop stars like Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, andArina Grande who plays by their own rules. Lady Gaga paid homage to legend David Bowie with a wild new hair color and lavish gown to match her eccentric style. Take a look at a some of music’s big night Best Dressed- The 2016 Grammy Awards Red Carpet.

In 2015, Justin Beiber & Kendall Jenner became the ambassadors of Calvin Klein’s underwear campaign, reigniting the brand’s youthful and classic appeal. Following this success, CK decided to expand the campaign, adding several familiar faces like Kendrick Lamar, Fetty Wap, and Joey Badass to the mix. The new year often comes with a period of self reflection and redefinition, and who better to express the attitude of rejuvenation than some hip hop heavy-hitters? The commercial asks each of the celebrities to fill in the phrase “I _____ in my Calvins,” drawing answers like “I fight in #mycalvins” and “I write in #mycalvins,” to name a few. I guess the real question is: what do you do in your Calvins? Get an idea from these ads and use the #mycalvins hashtag to let the world know.

As the fall season approaches, Drizzy’s OVO print broadens its horizons. By intertwining the voice of the streets, each collection brings character to the scene, with pop-up shops standing in a light of their own. Staying true to an already authentic and classic feel, the newly released apparel is certainly fitting for the months ahead.

Having been given a taste of the 6 God’s swag; Toronto style, we can’t help but anticipate sleek designs and this is exactly what we receive. If the current offerings were not enough to fill your closet, look no further because these additional pieces reveal the perfect blend.

Upholding a neutral tone with grey, navy and black creations, there really is a piece for everyone. Of course no collection would be complete without an OVO imprint, and the gold imagery only certifies your swag.

Why not take a look at the entire collection here, or better yet cop the designs in store.

Channelling attentions in a single direction is clearly not RiRi‘s style. The well-rounded nature of her talents leaves no blank spaces, as she continues to balance the art of both fashion and music.

As we know, the R&B sensation previously kicked off an excellent collaboration with Puma, serving as a creative director for the major brand. Bringing this project to life, Rihanna becomes the focus of a new advertising campaign that really sets the work in motion.

The black and white clip is simple yet stylish, embracing the feel of natural beauty. Of course the fashionista applies her personal touch to the scene and this is exactly what we hoped for. If you are looking for a fresh way to work out, this apparel is definitely the answer. Check out the campaign above.
