Power couple Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox made their grand entrance onto the red carpet for the 65th Annual GRAMMY Awards in style.
The rapper turned rock star was adorned in a bold silver suit with gem detailing around the waist, chest and neckline. He wore a matching pair of silver shoes to complete the daring look. Fox arrived alongside MGK in an elegant white full-length dress. The gown featured a mesh panel crossing the actress’ waist that was then elevated with silver, gold and red jewels to tie the stunning outfit together. A pair of sleek white heels made Megan look effortless, yet flawless.
This year’s award show was monumental for MGK, as the “my ex’s best friend” singer was nominated for his first-ever Grammy Award for Best Rock Album with his project Mainstream Sellout.
MGK took to his Instagram story yesterday to share that while winning the physical award would be an incredible moment in his career, the honor isn’t what is most important for him in the big picture.
“Going into tomorrow, I just want to express gratitude and no matter what the outcome is — whether we win the Grammy — I am so happy to have been on this journey exactly how it has turned out,” he said in the social media video. “I’m grateful for you, grateful for the family I have gained. The friends, the shows, the laughs the cries — all of that shit. It helped me push to even be here to experience a moment like this. Look, we already won.”
While the artist didn’t secure the win, he shared about a very valuable lesson he learned from the process — looking beyond the award and appraisal to find his inner self worth.
“It was almost enabling a problem I already had, which was this validation that I keep seeking,” MGK shared in an interview on the red carpet when asked about his reaction to the nomination. “I think I keep looking for these things — I didn’t win tonight. And this odd exorcism happened where I was like, ‘Wow.’ All of the things that were wrong with how I was viewing my self-worth left on the ride here. I’m very grateful. I’m very grateful to have learned the lesson I learned. Next time I’m here, I’ll be a Grammy Award winner.”
The 65th Annual GRAMMY Awards featured performances from Bad Bunny, Mary J. Blige, Brandi Carlile, Luke Combs, Steve Lacy, Lizzo, Kim Petras, Sam Smith, Harry Styles, Chris Stapleton, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson and more.

Maverick City Music and Quavo also remembered the late Migos rapper, Takeoff, with a special tribute performance of “Without You,” a song that Quavo wrote after his passing.
