Celebrities never miss a beat when it comes to the Grammy Awards.

Year after year, the biggest and brightest stars turn heads at the music ceremony with nominees, presenters and attendees alike creating unforgettable red carpet moments.

Case in point? Cardi B made a splash at the 2019 event, wearing a vintage Thierry Mugler creation that featured an oyster-shaped shell with pearl embellishments. Inspired by Sandro Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus," the rapper's look was literally work of art.

And how could anyone forget that Jennifer Lopez basically created Google Image Search following her appearance at the 2000 Grammys. She sent fans into a frenzy after slipping into her now-iconic green Versace dress. In fact, she recalled the real-time reaction people had over the tropical print gown.

"The flashes started going in a way that it's not usually," J.Lo shared in a 2019 YouTube video on her channel. "There was an extra kinetic energy there."

A decade after Jennifer's legendary entrance, Lady Gaga had her own jaw-dropping moment.

After all, the pop star was literally carried inside an egg on the red carpet in 2011. Clad in a flesh-colored bodysuit and matching cape, she later hatched out of the translucent shell to perform her smash hit "Born This Way."
