The Most Outrageous Red Carpet Looks in Grammy History

This well-known jungle print Versace dress first broke the Internet when J.Lo showed up to the 2000 Grammy Awards red carpet. Since then, the iconic look has been recreated for the artist to close out Versace’s Spring/Summer 2020 show.

Lil' Kim hit the red carpet as the chicest member of a Chanel motorcycle gang. With an all-leather outfit, bedazzled belt, and a Chanel motorcycle helmet in hand, the rapper oozed badass energy. 

M.I.A.'s son took to the Grammy's stage before he was even born. This questionable maternity look embodies the singer's spontaneous energy. Designed by Henry Holland, the mesh polka dot ensemble emphasized her very pregnant belly. 

In 2010, Gaga arrived at the Grammys red carpet in a show-stopping intergalactic dress and her statement heels. This was just one of many outrageous fashion moments the pop star has made at the awards show.

One of Hollywood’s most memorable and dramatic entrances, in 2011 Lady Gaga became the queen of the red carpet by arriving in a giant egg carried by four semi-naked attendees. She later emerged on stage for her performance of "Born This Way."

At the 2012 Grammy Awards, rapper and singer Nicki Mina wore a bright red Versace cape and gown inspired by her song "Roman Holiday." She also arrived with a man dressed like the Pope to keep with her theme for dramatic effect.

For the 57th Grammy Awards, Madonna showed off her figure in a custom Givenchy burlesque-inspired outfit that featured a sexy lace corseted bodice paired with ultra high-knee leather boots. The brazen look was taken to the next level when the star flashed the cameras her backside.

Artist CeeLo Green unveiled his alter-ego, Gnarly Davidson, by wearing a head-to-toe golden look to the 2017 Grammy Awards.

Rapper Cardi B arrived at the 2019 Grammy Awards in a mermaid-like gown directly from Thierry Mugler’s archive. The dramatic look was as memorable on the red carpet as it was in Mugler's Fall/Winter 1995 Haute Couture show.

Another bedazzling, glam moment in our list, Billy Porter rocked a head-to-toe sparkling look paired with a mechanical hat that featured fringe that moved to reveal his face. The actor paired the look with matching blue eyeshadow and silver lips and nails.

The "Industry Baby" artist took to the red carpet as a pink Versace cowboy. The electric ensemble included a cropped leather jacket, mesh tank, and belted harness. With touches of Versace's signature gold motifs, Lil Nas X was hard to miss. 

As the Most Decorated Female Artist, Beyoncé made history at the 63rd Grammys in a now-historic Schiaparelli dress. The off-the-shoulder leather piece with attached fingered gloves is a more offbeat look for Queen B, but it was as memorable as the night itself.

Doja Cat's eccentric Roberto Cavalli dress is half motorcycle gear and half feather extravaganza—and somehow it makes sense for her. In a paneled moto jacket zipped all the way to her belly button and bold black eye makeup pre-dating Julia Fox, the singer's look at the 2021 ceremony certainly embodies her standout personality.

The oversized look has been in for a while, but Bieber took it to a new level with this oversized suit and chunky shoes. The hot pink beanie paired with the black sunglasses gives this look an even more unique flair. 

Forget bringing the flowers when you can wear them. This Dolce & Gabbana look had Lizzo decked out head to toe in a gorgeous and vibrant flower bouquet. 

Sam Smith made quite the entrance on the red carpet with their entourage, accompanied by Kim Petras. The "Unholy" singer stepped out in a bold Valentino red look, including a red cane and top hat that added more than a few inches to their look.
