Wackiest Grammys Dresses Ever: Photos

Wackiest Grammys Dresses Ever: Photos — Every year the Grammys dare artists to take a risk on the red carpet. As the biggest night in music, creativity reigns supreme and that ethos applies to the fashion just as much as the beats.

Grammy-perfect outfits range from over-the-top sparkles, to barely-there pieces or looks that are basically costumes. Anything eye-catching is a win!

Hair and makeup are just one more avenue for stars to get weird! Bright wigs, wild lipstick, and edgy eye makeup will surely help the VIP set stand out.

With that in mind, there has been no shortage of jaw-dropping looks at the Grammys through the years. Take Katy Perry at the 2011 awards. The ‘Firework’ songstress looked heaven-sent as she rocks a sequined bra with a wrap skirt and angel wings to music’s biggest night.
