Chrissy Teigen turned heads at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night while out with her husband, John Legend.

The 40-year-old model turned heads on the red carpet wearing a stunning strapless gown. The dress featured a beautiful ombre effect and was covered in intricately patterned, sparkling sequins.

Her stunning outfit featured a long, flowing train and a high slit, highlighting her legs and slim figure.

Chrissy finished her already impressive outfit with sparkling diamond earrings, burgundy heels, and a matching clutch.

I always say, a genuine smile and a loving connection are the best accessories! I was just admiring a photo of a beautiful couple – she was absolutely glowing while snuggling up to her husband, John. And let me tell you, he still looks incredibly handsome in a perfectly tailored tux and classic black tie. It’s a timeless look, and they just radiate happiness together!

The couple, married since 2013 and parents to four children, looked very much in love at the awards show, holding hands as they found their seats.

This follows Chrissy’s recent milestone of 52 days of sobriety, a welcome achievement after she had struggled with drinking again last year.

The TV star stopped drinking in December 2020 and celebrated reaching one year of sobriety in 2022.

Chrissy explained that she stopped drinking because her habits had become shameful, and she was upset about not remembering important moments due to alcohol.

She realized she’d forgotten a lot of important events, like work photoshoots and fun family trips to the beach. She even admitted she couldn’t recall any details about awards shows she’d attended.

However, last May she admitted she had started drinking again, and it quickly progressed to having wine before noon.

Chrissy announced on Instagram Tuesday that she’s been sober for 52 days. She says Summer House’s Carl Radke, who discussed his own journey to sobriety on her podcast, has been a major positive influence in her life.

In a recent honest post, she revealed she started drinking again last year, initially telling herself it would be a deliberate and thoughtful approach.

She simply wanted to relax and enjoy life’s moments – sharing a glass of wine with her husband on date nights, or raising a toast on birthdays. She felt grateful for her life and wanted to fully experience it.

That’s when I first started to see drinking as a reward, like I’d earned it. It quickly turned into the unhealthy pattern I now know so well.

She explained that she started having wine earlier and earlier in the day. It began with evening drinks around 6pm, then shifted to 5pm, then 4pm, until she eventually found herself drinking at lunchtime. By 11am, she realized she was falling into a pattern of drinking again.

I recognize I had a problem with alcohol. It wasn’t about getting obviously drunk – stumbling or slurring speech. It was a steady, ongoing habit, and honestly, it made me feel terrible.

I wished I could have quickly grabbed my keys to go to the store, but things hadn’t gotten bad enough to make me stop what I was doing.

She realized she needed to change after talking with Carl about his experience with getting sober. This happened while she was also interviewing for a job on Star Search, and she became fiercely determined to succeed in the role.

Chrissy, a mother of four children – Luna, nine, Miles, seven, Esti, three, and Wren, two – with her husband John, acknowledges she’s struggled with sobriety before. However, she feels confident that this time, her recovery is different.

She wrote that the main difference now compared to the first time is the lack of fanfare. Initially, taking a stand felt thrilling, and that energy really motivated her and kept her focused.

It’s hard to explain what happens the second time around. You start to wonder if people lose confidence in you, or if you lose faith in yourself, or maybe it’s a combination of both. It’s like when you break up with someone and complain to all your friends, then get back together – suddenly, no one gets too invested because they don’t know what to expect anymore.

She firmly stated she didn’t want to start drinking again, explaining, ‘It’s amazing – I can still be funny, silly, and incredibly anxious, even as much as a very worried person. And I can handle everything without alcohol.’

John quickly posted a supportive comment for Chrissy, using a lot of red heart emojis.

I was absolutely gutted when Chrissy shared that she’d started drinking again last spring. It wasn’t some huge, scandalous thing, she said, which honestly, just made it even more relatable. She explained it wasn’t a dramatic fall from grace, just…a thing that happened after two years of being sober. It really hit me hard, hearing her say that.

Things haven’t been as bad lately, but honestly, it still doesn’t sit right with me. If I truly listened to my gut, I’d quit again, and that’s where everything becomes so difficult. It’s a constant internal struggle, and it’s hard to explain.

The mother of four explained that while she was initially very enthusiastic about getting sober and enjoyed the fresh start, that excitement didn’t last.

I recall telling my therapist that even though I have a great life, it really bothered me that I couldn’t enjoy something simple like an Aperol Spritz while traveling in Italy. I used to get so excited about those experiences, but now I feel like I’ve ruined it for myself.

Chrissy shared that she’s still figuring things out, but remains committed to getting sober, even after setbacks. She plans to start by paying close attention to how much she drinks.

She stated firmly that she much prefers herself when sober. She’s certain she’s more productive and feels significantly better physically without alcohol.

I’m incredibly frustrated that I can’t just relax and enjoy a drink with my husband on vacation without ending up overindulging and feeling terrible afterwards.

I’m so tired of being sick to my stomach on Tuesdays. I don’t want to need liquid courage just to face a group of people. It’s frustrating how much I sometimes fixate on the possibility of having just one drink.

You know, I’ve discovered something amazing. I can actually enjoy a concert without needing a drink – it’s incredible! I even managed to skip the absinthe at the Renaissance Faire and still had a blast. What really gets me, though, is looking back at photos from my kid’s birthday parties. I used to always have that hazy, tired look in my eyes from drinking, and now I don’t. It feels so good, and honestly, I’m really proud of how far I’ve come.

‘But I still know my relationship with alcohol just isn’t normal and never will be.’

Chrissy ended her message by thanking her fans for their support while she navigated a challenging time, writing, ‘This is for everyone who’s working through their own struggles. And to those in recovery, I’m incredibly proud of each and every one of you. Until next time.’
