Why Kelly Osbourne's Red Carpet Debut With Sid Wilson Was So Odd

Plenty of people were left confused after Kelly Osbourne’s boyfriend, Sid Wilson, showed up on the 2024 Grammys red carpet wearing a terrifying gas mask. (After all, Halloween several months away … and couldn’t he have at least settled for, say, a hat? But to each their own.) On X, formerly known as Twitter, fans shared their honest opinions on the strange fashion choice, with some criticizing the Slipknot turntablist, while others were amused. “tf sid wilson doin man,” one user said. “Better if he didn’t go. Disgusting,” added another. A third commenter said, “Sid Wilson’s mask for the Grammy’s is f****** sick.”

But what’s the deal with the mask? Well, you’d be forgiven for not knowing, but the look is actually a signature for Wilson and his band Slipknot. The group has gained widespread notoriety among music fans for wearing all kinds of weird masks – from Shawn Crahan’s infamous clown mask to Joey Jordison’s Kabuki mask – during live performances, music videos, and promo shoots. “[The masks were] a way for us to kind of wear the music on us physically … and create something that was striking,” Slipknot’s lead singer, Corey Taylor, explained on “Q’s Tom Power” regarding their distinct style (via CBC). “It was about being intimidating, obviously, but it was also much more of a creative thing.”

He added, “[It was] never really about being scary … We just wanted to go out and we just wanted it to be, you know, the wildest thing anybody’s ever seen.”
