Sierra Ferrell wins big
Sierra Ferrell won her first Grammys for Americana performance, Americana roots song, Americana album for ƵTrail of Flowers,Ƶ and American roots performance. She accepted them in a ruffly white gown and pearly headdress worthy of Marie Antoinette, or the top of a wedding cake.

More details on FerrellƵs outfit

FerrellƵs dress included huge luminescent sleeves, pearl embellishment all over and a matching choker piece.
