As other equally evocative trends like corsetry and sheer sequined gowns have gained popularity, cut-outs have lost a bit of their red carpet luster. That all changed, however, on the 2024 Grammys red carpet when stars like Dua Lipa, Paris Jackson, and Kat Graham strutted struck poses in slinky, skin-barring ensembles.
In 2024, the cut-out trend plays well with others. Dua Lipa’s custom Courrèges gown featured diminutive cut-outs just above her hips while Kat Graham’s dramatic Stephane Rolland Couture gown used nearly invisible illusion mesh to hold her look together. Elsewhere, Bonnie McKee opted to blend a midriff slashing cut-out with this season’s trendiest shade: vibrant red. Ahead, we’ve catalogued every celebrity cut-out look on the Grammys red carpet.

Of all the cut-out looks on the Grammys red carpet this year, Tyla's gauzy gown delivered the most throwback energy. From its low-slung waist to the way the sheer pistachio-colored fabric draped and hung just so, the look brought the best of Y2K cut-outs into 2024 thanks to its diamante-studded mesh.

Paris Hilton's Reem Acra gown was barely there in more ways than one. Not only did it feature two cut-outs, one on either hip, but it's web-like pattern of aqua beading was layered over skin-tone mesh for a truly nearly-naked effect.
