Sparkle and color pop amid more subdued tones on Grammys red carpet

LOS ANGELES — The 67th Grammy Awards kicked off Sunday with a red carpet full of black and subdued tones against the backdrop of loss and devastation from the Los Angeles wildfires.

But there was plenty of sparkle and statement looks in huge sleeves and embellishment. The color red had a moment on Haley Kalil and others.

"While the Grammys carpet is one where we see most celebrities take major risks, some of the night's most notable artists stayed true to their personal style," said Bianca Betancourt, digital culture editor for Harper's Bazaar.

Madeline Hirsch, fashion features director for InStyle, agreed.

Here's a few celebrity looks and fashion moments from the red carpet:
