In the last major awards show of the season and after delays and disruptions, the Grammys have returned.

With Grammys fashion tipping towards the less "traditional" end of the red carpet fashion scale, many weren't sure what to expect — but from the elegant to the eccentric to the straight-up extra, this year's looks were certainly entertaining.

Here are some of the trends that shone through.
