The Most Meme-Worthy Moments From This Year’s Grammys

Whether it’s a model holding a water bottle or a plus one falling asleep in the crowd, award shows are a gold mine for relatable moments, handy reaction GIFs and quick photo quips. When you fill a stadium with celebrities, promise to celebrate their accomplishments, encourage them to make bold fashion statements, glue a video camera to their face and then broadcast the footage to 20 million viewers, you must expect the internet to do what it does best: capture moments, and make viral memes. Here are some of the best from last night’s Grammys:

Cardi B Wears Vintage Mugler 

CONTEXT: Actually, she wears four different looks from Thierry Mugler’s archives — each of them more impressive than the last. And, each with their own pop culture reference. It’s only the second time in 25 years that Mugler has presented looks from their archive to dress a celebrity, but there’s an opportunity to explore more of these iconic pieces: just head to our February cover story.

Lady Gaga Gives a Stare

CONTEXT: In a meta movie-meets-reality moment, Mother Monster performed “Shallows,” the hit single from her Oscar-nominated film A Star is Born, as Lady Gaga. (Or maybe it was as Aly, we aren’t quite sure.) At the end of the performance, she bent over awkwardly to stare into the camera—and into our souls.

Diana Ross Celebrates Her Birthday

CONTEXT: Like only an icon could, Diana Ross took to the Grammys stage and celebrated her birthday by giving herself a two-song tribute performance. “Thank you for being here to celebrate my 75th birthday,” she told the crowd, refusing to acknowledge the fact that her birthday isn’t until March 26. She sang “Reach Out and Touch (Somebody’s Hand)” as she walked through the crowd, before demanding that everyone in the crowd raise their hands, stepping onto a pedestal and proclaiming “HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!”

Katy Perry Cosplays as a Paint Roller

CONTEXT: It’s from Balmain’s spring 2019 couture collection.

J. Lo, Latin Icon, Gives a Mowtown Tribute

CONTEXT: Few performers put on a show like Jennifer Lopez. But, was the high-energy pop singer/actress/dancer the right person to give a Grammys Mowtown tribute? Maybe not.

Diana Ross’ daughter, Rhonda Ross Kendrick, appeared on home viewers’ screens for just a moment during a mid-Mowtown tribute audience shot. The crowd around her is smiling and applauding, but Kendrick is seen crossing her leg, talking intently into her cell phone.

Alicia Keys Plays Many Keys

CONTEXT: Alice Keys, who has 15-Grammy awards of her own, served as the host of last night’s 61st Grammy Awards. Between making a case for make-up free skin and sharing her calming, cool aunt aura, Keys stole the spotlight with a medley of covers featuring two pianos.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
