Fashion on The Grammys red carpet tends to fall into two categories: celebrities either go so OTT that the effect is comical, or they go too formal — it isn’t the Oscars, after all. The musical awards have gained notoriety through the years when it comes to fashion, and we would argue that Jennifer Lopez is the woman who started it all. Not only was her amazing Versace gown responsible for the development of Google Images, but it also put her and indeed, the award show red carpet, firmly on the map.
In honour of the 62nd annual Grammy Awards taking place Stateside this evening, we’ve put together a gallery of standout fashion moments from the years gone by. Some are good, some are great, and some are, well, questionable.
Remember when Destiny’s Child wore a trio of identical outfits and it was (almost) on trend? Or when Taylor Swift was all, “I’ll NEVER be a pop singer”? It’s also worth noting that Rihanna has slain almost every one of the Grammy red carpets she’s ever walked on.
