Hosted for the second consecutive year by comedian and talk show host Trevor Noah, the 64th annual Grammy Awards took place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Sunday, April 3, 2022.

Billed as "music's biggest night", the star-studded ceremony took place in Las Vegas for the first time, with organisers having postponed the original January 31 date and left the city of Los Angeles due to a surge in Covid-19 cases.

The Grammys have given us some of the best menswear looks in recent fashion history, from Harry Styles' boa moment and Kanye West's black velvet suit and cowboy boots, to both Post Malone and Lil Nas X in pink leather cowboy outfits and Tyler, the Creator in a ushanka.

So expectations were high for this year's ceremony. Thankfully, the guys delivered.

Lil Nas X continued his love affair with ornate ensembles, dazzling in a heavily embellished two-piece suit by Balmain, featuring rows of pearls, quilting and an embellished butterfly on the chest.

Justin Beiber opted for the tailoring trend, taking it to the extreme in a dramatically oversized custom suit by Balenciaga, which he paired with a simple white vest, long chain, a hot pink beanie hat and chunky leather and metal boots.

Travis Barker took a leaf out of his fiancé Kourtney Kardashian's book and wore an elegant hot pink satin overcoat, paired with a slick all-black outfit. Trevor Noah took the pink trend in another direction, looking dapper in a pale pink tuxedo jacket, worn with a white shirt and black trousers.

Billy Porter was typically extravagant in an all-pink Valentino look, pairing a flowing sheer shirt with high-waisted trousers and matching pink gloves.

Korean pop group BTS maintained their reputation as some of the sharpest dressers on the red carpet, arriving in a coordinated selection of looks by Louis Vuitton, that included a chocolate brown suits paired with purple shirts, floral appliqués and inventive silhouettes.

Finneas O'Connell, fresh off his Oscar win alongside sister Billie Eilish, went with an unusual look, wearing a deep lavender satin suit accented with a dramatic floral buttoniere, paired with a black and white shirt and grey waistcoat.

Any plain black suits that made an appearance on the red carpet were similarly inventive, such as Jack Harlow's Givenchy look, which featured a single-breasted jacket fastened with a metal clasp.

Leslie Odom Jnr also experimented with the black suit, pairing a black suit jacket that tied loosely in the front with slouchy grey trousers and a white shirt.

Diplo added a pop of colour to his elegant black suit, dyeing his short hair a teal blue, and added interest to his look with a black turtleneck and a statement belt.

And finally, Lenny Kravitz was... Lenny Kravitz, wearing an outfit only he could pull off: a shimmering sheer top that draped in the front, layers of neck chains, black leather trousers and knee-high black leather heeled boots.
