You can always expect the unexpected at the Grammys, but tonight's guests surprisingly stayed on code when it came to wearing one of the year's biggest trends: hot pink. If there's one color that perfectly encapsulates 2022, it's the eye-catching pink shade, which has been popping up on recent runway shows from Valentino to Versace. And now, hot pink has officially infiltrated the red carpet with attendees Saweetie, Billy Porter, and Chrissy Teigen all decked out in the color from head to toe.

But of course, monochromatic hot pink is only one way to do it. Rocker Travis Barker and Justin Bieber went for subtler takes on the trend, opting for hot-pink accessories. Barker topped off his black suit with a bright satin coat, and Bieber matched his Balenciaga 'fit with a hot-pink beanie.

Here at Who What Wear, we've already predicted hot pink as a color to buy into this year, but tonight has firmly cemented its place as a power color of the season. Keep scrolling to see all the hot-pink Grammys red carpet outfits in their full glory. And if you're looking to get in on the action, we've also included our favorite hot-pink pieces to buy right now.
