On Sunday, the Grammys are kicking off in Los Angeles, California. Right now is all about acts like SZA, Victoria Monet, Doja Cat, Coco Jones, Jon Batiste, and more. But, we can’t help but think back to stars who over the years brought their unique energy and fashion sense to the lauded red carpet. The Grammys have seen so many legendary moments over the years, and that’s due to music being an exploratory industry.
From the ‘90s through the ‘00s there was a very distinct taste level that was on the carpet. That’s largely because things were different during those eras, not much was meticulous about celebrities style–at times they took large leaps or showed up to event shows in simple outfits. But, what has been consistent as the years have chugged along is the ability for many artists to cling to their inclinations. If they were known for their fashion sense in the aughts, we bet in recent years that this is still the case.
Below you’ll find a bevy of looks from over the years of our favorite celebrities at the Grammys.
