Grammys 2020: Best and worst red carpet looks ever
The Grammys red carpet is one of the most entertaining spectacles ever. Here are some of the best, and worst, looks over the years.
Music is an art form, so it makes sense the Grammys is always a spectacle of – often unusual – style expression.
From Madonna’s near-nude numbers to Lady Gaga’s outlandish statements, music’s night of nights is one of the most entertaining fashion events on the annual calendar.
The Grammys will air in Australia on Foxtel from midday (AEDT) on Monday, with Lizzo, Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift among the nominees.
Before that gets underway, here are the wonderful, and wonderfully weird, looks over the years.
One of the best looks of all time has to be Rihanna in 2013. This sweeping red gown is absolutely divine. It was different to her normal style and she nailed it.
Queen Bey here in 2014, needing absolutely no introduction.
Taylor Swift shed her usually demure look for a bright crop top and skirt paired with an edgy bob cut in 2016.
Demi Lovato dared to bare in a bone coloured crochet gown in 2017.
Christina Aguilera’s whole look in 2007 is so glamorous, from the Marilyn Monroe hair to the relaxed silky strapless dress, this is something else.
Britney Spears swanned into the awards in 2000 in all-white and oozing sophistication. She’s so lucky / She’s a star
Probably the most iconic red carpet dress of all time, Jennifer Lopez strutted into the 2000 Grammys in this memorable jungle print Versace gown that redefined the term “plunging neckline”.
The dress is credited for not breaking the internet, but building it. Literally.
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt claimed so many people were searching JLo, the search engine created its image search option.
Kim Kardashian was every bit the golden goddess in 2015, accompanying her rapper husband Kanye West.
Katy Perry showed off her most famous assets – apart from her voice – in 2013 in a sorbet green coloured keyhole dress. Emphasis on the keyhole.
Selena Gomez in 2016 proved why she’s the second most followed woman on Instagram.
And Ariana Grande proved why she’s the first. Here she is seen in the dress she was intending to wear to the Grammys last year, but boycotted the event because she had creative differences with organisers about her scheduled performance.
So she got dressed up like a princess and stayed home instead.
Chrissy Teigen is bloody funny and looks like this. Unfair.
Lady Gaga is famous for her wild red carpet looks, but she stripped back the bells and whistles (literally) in 2015, going old Hollywood glamour with a modern edge.
Fergie showing where the name fergalicious came from in striking lemon yellow in 2008.
Pop star of the moment Camila Cabello was pretty in pink last year.
And then there’s some that made our jaws drop for other reasons … Hellllo Cardi B.
Katy Perry wore a 1980s quilt cover in 2014.
Madonna, we’ll always love you, but yeesh.
How could we forget when Nicki Minaj literally brought a man dressed as the Pope, while also donning a cathedral robe herself.
We applaud Kylie Jenner for wearing something that looks so comfy, but sis, you a billionaire. No excuses.
Miley Cyrus while she was still playing Hannah Montana at the Grammys in 2010, showing minor signs that in three years she’s about to turn full will-grind-Robin-Thicke-with-a-foam-finger bad gal.
And then there’s just Gaga, who is in a league of her own.
