If it's mandatory, make it mega-fabulous.

The red carpet might slowly to returning to 'normal' - i.e. Harry Styles packing three fluffy boas for the evening's festivities - but at this year's Grammy Awards, the must-have accessory was still face masks.

But Grammy-winners and celebrities don't tend to do the disposal kind that looks a little like a nappy. Instead, they prefer to coordinate their mask to their outfit. In some cases, they even looked custom-made, as if whatever designer they've chosen has whipped up the most fashionable kind of personal protection from offcuts on the studio floor.

As Harry Styles cuddled up with Lizzo - in what must be the most-shared photo from the night - the singer's checked face mask perfectly matched the natty plaid of his suit jacket. He might have draped his boa around her neck, but he most definitely did not share any germs.

Billie Eilish's was made of the same jacquard, and sequin-embellished, fabric as her bucket hat, gloves, tunic top and trousers (all Gucci), while Taylor Swift's petal-tastic minidress came with a similarly blossoming mask by Oscar de la Renta.

Chika's ruffled face mask, made of contrasting pastels, also stole the show and made us want to seriously pull up our socks in the tracksuit department.
