The 2019 Grammy Awards are held today, with hip-hop stars with Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Childish Gambino and Cardi B each scoring several major nominations.
And it's a busy day for awards shows, with Britain's BAFTAs taking place just hours ago.
But while the BAFTAs are all A-list elegance and refinement,music stars at the Grammys usually take a few more fashion risks — for better or worse.
Little-known singer Joy Villa has a history of attention-grabbing Grammys outfits — a few years back she wore a dress emblazoned with Trump's 'MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN' slogan, and another year in an anti-abortion dress complete with drawn-on fetus. This year, she's come as Trump's proposed Border Wall with Mexico, barbed wire and all:
The response on social media to Villa's now-serial red carpet antics has been mixed, with many slamming her as a "troll" and asking how she gets invited back year after year despite her lack of music industry accomplishments.
oh yay happy annual Why Is Joy Villa day, everyone! Traditional snacks are ambrosia casserole, unseasoned chicken, and your dignity! https://t.co/woqFVNUSvy
