Frontwoman Michelle Zauner wore a yellow frilled Valentino Couture gown; while her nails were designed to look like the persimmons featured on her album cover.
A week after winning The Oscar for best documentary, The Roots drummer Ahmir " Questlove" Thompson picked up the Grammy for best music film for Summer of Soul - which captured the long-forgotten 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival. On Stage , he thanked all the artists who had performed at The Concert , 53 years ago, including Stevie Wonder , Nina Simone , Mavis Staples and Sly & The Family Stone.
Actress Laverne Cox posted for pictures in a sheer panel black dress, while sporting a possibly Prince-inspired purple rinse hairdo.

The Family of Chris Cornell - Children Toni, Christopher and wife Vicky - were All In attendance, after the late Soundgarden rocker received a pair of posthumous nominations, including best rock performance for his cover of Nothing Compares 2 U.
On Colombian band Bomba Estereo 's latest album, Deja, they wanted to encourage listeners to get back In Touch with The World around them. Their Red Carpet outfits continued the theme, with masks inspired by " nature and the elements".
