Grace Jones was the original creator of head turning, jaw-dropping looks, so in 1983 when she fearlessly wore a caged costume to the GRAMMY Awards, it was like any other day for Jones. We owe it all to her!
In 1991, Mariah was a newbie to the red carpet but was certainly savvy enough to know that an LBD never fails, no matter the occasion.

In 2002, Keys was still stuck in her tomboy ways, sporting a Jean Paul Gaultier embroidered sari style.
Versace turned heads again –– literally, at the 2012 GRAMMY’s with Nicki Minaj’s Little Red Riding Hood-esque ensemble. We couldn’t help but wonder if she’d gone Gaga on us.
