The wildest outfits at the Grammys - in pictures

Wild Grammy outfits: Nicki Minaj at the Grammys

Holy pope! Ms Minaj turned up channelling Red Riding Hood, as art-directed by Donatella Versace, in a satin robe-cape, emblazoned with the fashion house’s signature Medusa. Having clearly spent far too much time with Madonna, she also roped in her very own pope to give the red carpet some religious flavour.

A mesh facial net is not quite arriving in an egg, but this year the Gaga shock was she didn’t do the red carpet at all. Instead, she went with a black Versace S&M corset affair complete with gold sticky-out shoulders and a gold-topped cane.

Wild Grammy outfits: Robyn at the Grammys

She didn’t just lose out to Skrillex but left the house with half a skirt on. Either that or she had been at a wedding and fashioned something to wear out of a spare table runner. Of course if you were wearing half a satin tablecloth skirt you’d definitely accessorise with 90s Spice Girl style stacked-up footwear, wouldn’t you?

Wild Grammy outfits: Rihanna and Katy Perry

Blue crimped hair with matching sunglasses, plus some latex – that was Perry’s outfit of choice for her Grammy performance. Meanwhile, pal Ri-Ri seemed to be celebrating in an old Tina Turner wig. She then took to the stage in crop top and leather hot pants. A subtle pair.

It doesn’t matter than you’ve never heard of the Russian-born singer or perhaps that you ever will again, last night she wore The Terminator Dress. End of.

The Canadian Euro techno DJ chose what has become his trademark helmet with ears. As he’s been rocking this head attire for a while now, maybe it’s time to style it up with a body stocking?
