The anticipation is building as the Grammy nominees gear up for an unforgettable night this Sunday. With Music's Biggest Night just around the corner, excitement is in the air, and PEOPLE magazine has an exclusive sneak peek into the redesigned red carpet.
Andie Cox, the vice president of communications for the Recording Academy, shared some insights into the new design. The goal was to capture the essence of the Grammy Awards, which is all about honoring the creators and performers behind the music and bringing the community together in celebration. 'With the red carpet, we strive to match that sentiment and ensure the nominees feel the magic of Music's Biggest Night as soon as they step onto the carpet,' says Cox.
This year's red carpet design blends classic elements from previous years with a more modern motif, paying homage to the Recording Academy's timeless elements. To achieve a multidimensional look, the Joe Lewis Company, responsible for the design, utilized various materials and paint treatments.
'The redesign was a great opportunity to put a contemporary spin on the classic GRAMMYs red carpet look,' says Cox. The grand red carpet entry façade, a staple set piece each year, was a key element they wanted to preserve while refreshing it to bring a sense of novelty and excitement. The team at Joe Lewis Company undoubtedly exceeded expectations in bringing the vision to life.
