The Subtle Way Loretta Lynn Was Honored At The 2024 Grammys

The brightest stars in music came together last night (Feb 4) to celebrate the 66th Annual Grammy Awards. The prestigious awards show is put on by the Recording Academy, whose mission is to “recognize excellence in the recording arts and sciences, cultivate the well-being of the music community, and ensure that music remains an indelible part of our culture.” 

Noteworthy names from every genre of the music industry dressed to the nines and walked the red carpet before the ceremony. 

Lana Del Rey paid homage to Loretta Lynn with her Grammy Awards look  

Singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey debuted a new look on the Grammy’s red carpet, wearing a vintage black dress complete with voluminous sleeves and floral lace appliques. She completed the look with black lace gloves, a black vintage bag, and a dramatic bow that trailed down her back. 

The ensemble, styled by Molly Dickson, was reminiscent of the classicly feminine and Western style of country music icon Loretta Lynn.

“If you can’t already tell by our award winners and our performers, the music business is going country… We’re going country. It’s happening. That’s why Jack has followed me to Muscle Shoals, Nashville, Mississippi, over the last four years.”
