Leah Kateb is trading in those swimsuits from the Love Island USA villa for some seriously show-stopping gowns. The reality star has become a red-carpet staple this past year, and her latest high-fashion look may be her most stunning yet. Kateb rolled up to the 2026 Grammys in a black Tom Ford dress, complete with daring cutouts and glistening gold accent pieces that felt perfectly fitting for the awards show.

Kateb’s look turned heads on the carpet, in part because of how well the striking outfit was accessorized with Jimmy Choo x Jean Paul Gaultier shoes, Jenny Bird earrings, rings by Letra, and her own personal bracelets. Oh, and you can’t forget the most important accessory of all: Kateb’s boyfriend, Miguel Harichi. The fitness model perfectly matched his partner in all black, with some shiny bling to go with Kateb’s golden accents.

Below, Kateb shares how her Grammys look came together, from start to finish.
