Last week’s Academy Awards, per usual, were all about glitz and beauty—the bigger the ballgown the better. But when the biggest names in music come together, you know you’re in store for some more eccentric, one-of-a-kind ensembles. The Grammys red carpet has always been one of the most fun of the year thanks to its unexpected nature. Yes, some will show up in a classic column gown, looking glamorous in the process, but with names like Doja Cat, Lady Gaga, and Cardi B on the guest list, who knows what’s going to hit that carpet. This year, we can expect some classic pieces, as well as some showstoppers. So, ahead of Sunday’s show, a look back at some of the best looks from Grammys past, including tailored suits, plunging gowns and plenty of sequins.
