CHECK OUT THE 2014 GRAMMER AWARD COMPETITION WITH LIST OF WINNERS

Metallic gowns were very much the order of the day at the Grammys on Sunday night, with Taylor Swift stealing the red carpet show in a glamorous silver form fitting Gucci dress. 

The 24-year-old multi nominated singer looked stunning in the long sleek dress which she teamed with silver drop earrings and her blonde hair pulled into a loose ponytail as she stepped out at The Staples Center in Downtown Los Angeles. 

' I love it - it's like chain mail,' she told E!'s Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet. 'It's bullet proof. It's really heavy. it's all the things you'd expect it to be - it's like a suit of armour.'

 

Taylor has been nominated for four Grammys, two for her record Red which has been nominated for Record Of The Year and Country Record Of The Year.

'The fans have given almost every song on the album a life of its own,' she added to Seacrest. 'They really created longevity that I didn't expect in this album. It came out over a year ago and the fact that it's been nominated for album of the year was amazing.'

Meanwhile, British singer Rita Ora cut a stunning figure in a gold Lanvin knee-length dress with long sleeves and strappy sandals. 

She teamed the look with a finger full of chunky glittery rings and brightly coloured nail varnish.

'I was going to do floor length but it's 4pm so I thought I'd do something short and kind of cute and glitzy,' she told Seacrest, later posing with boyfriend Calvin Harris who looked dapper in a tuxedo. 

The 23-year-old star is taking on her first acting role as Christian Grey's (Jamie Dornan) sister Mia in the film adaptation of Fifty Shades Of Grey.

'It's my first acting role so it's a big deal for me, she said, hinting that there would be an image change for the role. 'It's a surprise. Hopefully you won't recognise me. It's sexy.' 

Beyonce may not have walked the carpet, but she still managed to impress in her lacy cream floral Michael Costello designed gown with flesh panels. 

The singer wore her hair in a curly bobbed style with bright red lipstick and matching rings completing the look.

Madonna cut an equally striking figure when she arrived with son David both wearing matching suits, white shirts and black ties. 'We're both working the Ralph Lauren angle,' she said. 

The Queen of Pop walked down the carpet with a black cane and also sported a glittering silver glove and a grille on her teeth. 

She credited her son with her striking red carpet look. 'For this look I followed his lead,' she told Seacrest. 'He dressed me tonight.'

John Legend and Chrissy Teigen were very much the glamorous couple with Chrissy sporting a plunging gold sequinned Johanna Johnson gown
