Thanks to the rise of ultra snarky shows like Fashion Police, Hollywood's A-List movie stars work their hardest during the 3-month slog that is Awards Season to stay out of the crosshairs of Joan Rivers and her band of catty cronies. Thankfully, our favorite musicians like Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj and Cee-Lo Green have no such qualms about making a genuine fashion statement on Grammy night.

While we'll have to wait until Sunday night's 2013 Grammys red carpet livestream to figure out which stars stood out this year, we combed through our vast archives to put together this countdown of the 32 Most Outrageous Outfits in Grammy History. From MIA's bodacious baby bump to Celine Dion's surprising penchant for thongs, from Lady Gaga hatching herself from a translucent egg to J. Lo's infamous Versace wrap dress, we pay tribute (and throw some occasional shade) at those over the years who have shown no fear on Music's Biggest Night.
