As we've come to expect, the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards adopted a part-digital 'hybrid' format for Sunday night's ceremony, resulting in a mixture of physical red carpet looks and glamorous at-home fashion.

But, as ever, the music awards' style was brighter, bolder and more colorful than its many of its film and TV counterparts.

While many nominees watched from home, performers and award presenters arrived in person at the Los Angeles Convention Center. And they weren't about to miss a rare opportunity for a red carpet moment.

Noah Cyrus, nominated for this year's best new artist award, produced perhaps the most meme-worthy moment of the night in Schiaparelli Haute Couture. On social media, the singer -- and younger sister of Miley, herself a former Grammy nominee -- drew comparisons to everything from an enormous oyster and a duvet, to a crumpled-up tissue and a cauliflower.

Fluorescent colors, one of the standout trends at last year's Grammys thanks to the likes of Lil Nas X and Billie Eilish, were also back in force this year. Debi Nova opted for eye-popping pink, while Megan Thee Stallion arrived in a bright orange Dolce & Gabbana gown, complete with a giant bow and thigh-high slit. Dua Lipa, nominated for six Grammys including the prestigious record of the year, was the embodiment of glamour, arriving on the red carpet in a shimmery floor length gown with a butterfly motif by Versace.

Triple-nominee Doja Cat meanwhile opted for a daring Roberto Cavalli gown, that started as a moto-inspired leather jacket with a plunging zip, and ended with a green neon feather train. And fellow best new artist nominee Phoebe Bridgers took a markedly different -- though no less eye-catching -- approach in a skeleton gown by Thom Browne.

The menswear was a little less adventurous, with host Trevor Noah in Gucci among the stars opting for a no-frills black-tie. But there were flashes of fun too, from DaBaby's floral print suit to Bad Bunny's beanie with -- true to his name -- playful pointy ears. Harry Styles opened the ceremony performing "Watermelon Sugar" wearing a Gucci leather suit paired with a feather boa.

One of the night's best-dressed ensembles, BTS, meanwhile arrived in coordinated Louis Vuitton looks, which ranged from tie-wearing formality to a tan-colored hoodie and white sneakers.
