Heidi Klum red gown side slit and strappy sandals pre-Grammys

Heidi Klum made a bold statement ahead of the 2026 Grammys, starting with the dress.

The supermodel stepped out at Clive Davis’s pre-Grammys party on January 31 at the Beverly Hilton wearing a striking red halterneck gown by Maria Lucia Hohan. The dress plunged straight down to her belly button, creating a dramatic neckline that immediately grabbed attention. Made from reflective, micro-pleated fabric, the gown moved like liquid, blurring the line between bodice and skirt and giving the whole look an optical illusion effect.

The cut was just as daring from the side. A hip-high slit revealed flashes of skin and a pair of red strappy sandals that kept the look fully monochrome. The fit stayed close through the torso before flowing down, striking a balance between sleek and fluid without feeling heavy.

She doubled down on the red theme with a fluffy coat draped casually around her elbows, adding texture and a playful edge to the otherwise sultry look. It was dramatic, confident, and very Heidi.

Her beauty look also marked a shift. Klum skipped her signature bangs, styling her long honey-blonde hair away from her face in a soft blowout with loose layers. Metallic rust eyeshadow and warm peach tones on her cheeks and lips finished things off, letting the dress stay front and center.

Surrounded by fellow stars like Demi Lovato, Dove Cameron, and Winnie Harlow, Klum’s look stood out for its bold color, daring cut, and effortless confidence.
