Demi Lovato was nominated for “Best Pop Vocal Album” at the 2017 Grammy Awards in Los Angeles but did not take home the award. The category was won by Adele for her album “25,” beating out Justin Bieber’s “Purpose,” Ariana Grande’s “Dangerous Woman,” Demi Lovato’s “Confident,” and Sia’s “This Is Acting.”

Despite not winning, the pop star stepped out on the red carpet, looking like a golden goddess.

Demi wore a sexy see-through dress by designer Julien MacDonald. The dress consisted of woven pieces held together by copper rings to form a slinky closed-neck dress with an open front. The dress opened up at the back to reveal a slit.

The singer paired her sexy look with earrings and rings from David Yurman, an Edie Parker “Wolf” clutch in gold, and a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti cross-strap sandals.
