She took off a white wrap on the red carpet to reveal a red, blue, and white (and bedazzled) dress with Trump's campaign slogan "Make America Great Again" running down it.

Villa herself went on social media to explain the fashion choice, saying her platform is about "LOVE."

Some were skeptical of Villa's choice, though, including MTV News, which called it the "worst dress" at the Grammys.
