Stylish Kids Were the Best Grammy Awards Red-Carpet Companions

The right accessory is important for a special occasion: A chic clutch is nice and so are massive diamonds.

But award shows are long — and there’s no better excuse to cut the night short than a cute kid with a curfew.

At the 59^th annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles today, adorable youngsters were the perfect red-carpet companions.

Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker posed with his children with Shanna Moakler, daughter Alabama, 10, and son Landon, 12. Alabama looked elegant in a long-sleeve pink dress teamed with age-appropriate footwear — peep-toe platform pumps with chunky block heels. Landon rocked Yeezy sneakers with jeans and a denim jacket.

French Montana and his son opted for formal outfits — both in suits and dress shoes. Korn rocker James Shaffer and his wife, Evis, were glowing on the red carpet with their son D’Angelo, who had on light-up Pop Shoes. The footwear brand’s Fairmount White Chiclet style features LED lights with three settings for speed; they’re available for $115 online. The youngster completed his nod to the band with a Jagged Culture “Korn” Tuxedo Jacket and a “Korn” T-shirt.

Meanwhile, Diplo brought along his two boys who rocked matching gray suits that they complemented with sneakers.

Beyoncé skipped the red carpet, but her daughter with Jay-Z, Blue Ivy, had the best seat in the house watching her perform onstage.
