If there was any doubt which colour would dominate our autumn wardrobes, the Grammys' red carpet made it crystal clear: hot pink is big news.

From Saweetie's two-piece Valentino outfit and Chrissy Teigen's Nicole + Felicia Couture, to Justin Bieber's beanie, and Travis Barker's oversized coat, celebs showed the only way to wear pink is hot, hot, hot.

  • Add accessories such as a coat, bag or hat if you don't want to go pink head to toe
