With its inventive musical performances and anything-goes red carpet, we like to think of the Grammy Awards as the Oscars’ rebellious musical cousin. And what better place for celebs to try out the ensembles of their eccentric dreams than a venue so, well, creative?

In honor of the 64th annual Grammy Awards—which will take place on Sunday, April 3—we’re taking a walk down memory lane. From Lady Gaga channeling Saturn to J.Lo’s legendary plunging Versace dress, here are 14 of the most memorable looks from Grammys past.

One might say the “Lady Marmalade” rapper trail-blazed the way for Lady Gaga’s many pants-less looks.
