Grammys red carpet shockers: What on earth are they wearing?

LEAVE it to the unknown “celebrities” on the Grammys red carpet to wear the most outlandish, attention-seeking outfits.

THE Grammy Awards are always known for their outlandish fashions, and among them, it’s the unknowns who always bring the most attention-grabbing outfits.

Think about it. You’re a struggling performer and you’ve scored an invite to the music industry’s biggest night of the year. How else do you ensure maximum exposure than by dressing yourself in an ensemble that’s guaranteed to score you a place in all the ‘Worst dressed’ lists?
