The Grammys red carpet is underway, with all of the major stars gathered in Los Angeles for the most prestigious music event of the year.
But it was Bianca Censori and Kanye West who stole the show on the red carpet with a very revealing outfit. The duo rocked up in LA with Kanye sporting his traditional all black attire. Bianca meanwhile left little to the imagination as she wore a completely see through gown.
Billie Eilish turned up in a baggy outfit, opting for a black and white style. And Sabrina Carpenter stunned in a sleek blue gown with frills.
The ceremony and red carpet can both be streamed online, with live performances coming up later from many of the nominees, including stars such as Charli XCX, Chappell Roan, Billie Eilish, Janelle Monáe, Stevie Wonder, Lady Gaga, Chris Martin, Doechii, and Sabrina Carpenter.

California governor Gavin Newsom gave the go ahead, but the show has adopted a reimagined format, including a toned-down red carpet.
Harvey Mason Jr., the Recording Academy CEO, emphasised the crucial economic role the Grammys play, especially for the service sector, portraying the decision to proceed with the show as a stand for resilience, suggesting that a cancellation would not serve either the city or the music industry well.
During a webcast, Mason shared: "Cancelling, pushing, moving does not accomplish what us standing together does." He envisions the show as a beacon of unity and support, highlighting that it will be "unifying and coming together, honouring music, but also using the power of music to heal, rebuild and provide services to people who need it. "I think this might be one of the most important Grammy weeks we've ever had,” the boss summarised.
Despite the green light from authorities, concerns remain within the industry about the optics of the occasion. Creative director Elyn Kazarian told the BBC: "I actually don't think that the Grammys should be happening.
"It's just very weird to me that there are going to be celebrities on a red carpet wearing expensive clothes while people in other parts of the city are suffering and whose livelihoods have been destroyed."
Alongside some people taking umbrage with the Grammys taking place this year, some fans are expecting that drama could take place despite the sombre mood of the ceremony, with stars such as Taylor Swift and Charli XCX reportedly having beef - and being nominated in many of the same categories.
Even beyond the feuding duo, the nomination list seems to be dominated by female musicians this year. One of the biggest categories, Album of the Year, will see André 3000, Beyoncé, Sabrina Carpenter, Charli XCX, Jacob Collier, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, and Taylor Swift go head to head.
Many of the same artists are also up for Record of the Year, with The Beatles, Beyoncé, Sabrina Carpenter, Charli XCX, Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, Chappell Roan, Taylor Swift and Post Malone all competing to bag the major achievement.
