NEW YORK — Other than a blast or two of David Bowie from Lady Gaga, the Grammys felt more glam routine on the fashion front than the wild and wacky of years past for music’s big night.

Pharrell lost his towering hat Monday but sported torn jeans, green sneakers and a Chanel jacket that matched his blond hair. Gaga’s red carpet ode to Ziggy Stardust included a fiery red mullet, sky high platform sandals and ’70s swirls of embroidery on an electric blue tuxedo gown open to the crotch.

Gaga’s look, ahead of her tribute in song to the legendary Bowie and more fashion in his honor, was created by Marc Jacobs and included glittery bright blue eyeshadow.

“The world loves you, David,” she declared on Instagram ahead of the Grammys.

High slits were of the moment at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Ciara had one. So did Carrie Underwood. Taylor Swift’s slit came in the middle, in the form of a peekaboo reveal of panties under a long, matching magenta skirt she wore with a coral red crop top – all courtesy of custom Atelier Versace.
