For the 2026 Grammy Awards, singer Kelsea Ballerini delivered two distinct Etro looks that carried her from the red carpet to the after-party with ease. Each outfit reflected a different side of her style. One was rooted in craftsmanship and symbolism, and the other was built for fun. Together, Etro created a fashion story for the night.

For her first appearance, Ballerini stepped out in a floor-length green beaded Etro gown. The design featured intricate pattern work throughout, paired with fluid fringe detailing that softened the silhouette toward the hem. The beadwork caught the light with every step, while the fringe added subtle motion.
According to Cosmopolitan, the gown was made through an international process. Etro flew the brand’s Head of VIP from Milan to Nashville for the initial muslin fitting. This allowed the piece to be tailored precisely to Ballerini. After final adjustments, artisans in India completed the hand-beading, highlighting the level of detail behind the finished look. Ballerini later shared that the green design felt especially meaningful, as it paid homage to Etro’s iconic patterns.
Later in the evening, she changed into a second Etro ensemble for the Grammys after-party. The look centred on a fully sheer and tasseled skirt, layered over coordinating shorts. She paired it with an oversized striped shirt worn open. This kept the styling relaxed and effortless. The long tassels moved along with her, thus portraying a sharp contrast to the refined gown worn earlier.
Speaking about the outfit, Ballerini explained that it instantly stood out to her, saying, “ETRO showed me these tasseled cheeky bottoms and I couldn’t wait to give a little leg moment for the after parties.”
Together, the two Etro looks captured the mood of the night. The beaded gown reflected intention, artistry, and personal meaning, while the fringe heavy after-party look embraced celebration. Though different in style, both the outfits felt connected as each marked a special moment in Ballerini’s Grammys experience.
