The Oscars are known for the best dresses and the Golden Globes are now known for Ricky Gervais’ hilarious celebrity jabs, but the glorious Grammy Awards are known for bringing out the crazy in music’s leading stars. From Jennifer Lopez’s infamous navel-grazing Versace in 2000 to M.I.A.’s polka-dot covered baby bump in 2009, musicians take way more fashion risks than their actor counterparts. The 53rd Annual Grammy Awards definitely lived up to our expectations, with some of our fave stars bringing on multiple doses of crazy. Keep reading to find out who our top six craziest singers were from last night’s Grammys!
Do we even have to say it? The craziest appearance at the Grammys was undeniably Lady Gaga. While we have a feeling she wasn’t actually born out of a giant plastic egg, it served as an in-your-face metaphor for her latest hit single, "Born This Way." Frankly, the obviousness of it all had us slightly disappointed, but with scantily-clad egg carriers in tow and a performance that began on the red carpet, Gaga takes the crazy cake.
This next trifecta of talented young women can almost always be counted on to bring the crazy. And last night…wow, did they deliver! Nicki Minaj opted for a leopard Givenchy concoction that included matching leopard hair. While it’s pretty garish looking, her hairstylist deserves accolades for creating a leopard-print-slash-Cruella-de-Vil afro that defied gravity. Still, no denying that it’s cray-cray!
Rihanna’s been feeling under the weather this week, but we're glad she made it to the Grammys because we wouldn't have this Jean Paul Gaultier creation to talk about. How she avoided a wardrobe malfunction is beyond comprehension in this cut-out concoction. But hey, her hair looks pretty!
Katy Perry strutted her way down the carpet in custom Armani. Katy has a pretty spotty red carpet track record, so comparatively this dress isn’t as bad, but it’s definitely just as weird. Yes, those are angels wings on her back. Wings that make us overlook the fact that she’s trying to pass off a jewel-encrusted bra with some loose white chiffon as a dress. Katy, your imagination never ceases to inspire us, even if it usually just inspires confusion.
What would our review of all things crazy be without mention of Cee Lo Green's feathered frock? He's definitely ready for next year's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade! And then there was B.o.B’s monocle. Mr. Peanut called, he wants his eyewear back! But in all seriousness, keep the suit. It does look dashing.
Whew! That six-fold serving of crazy should keep us satiated until next year’s awards. Which look did you think was the craziest? Vote in our poll below!
