There's no red carpet quite as sexy as the Grammy Awards. As pretty as the stars look heading into the Golden Globes, the Emmys, and even the Oscars, they don't necessarily make our heads turn and our mouths drop to the floor. But about five minutes into a Grammys red carpet, there are outfits so memorable that we'll be talking about them not just for days but for years to come. Hence, we're still not over the looks from the 2015 show. Starting with Madonna's bold Givenchy look, it was a night where the who's who of the music industry brought us the unexpected style moments we wait for all award season. Keep reading to see the breakdown of what every star wore and get excited for the 2016 show.

In a fresh change-up from her usual sexy looks, the singer chose a sweet, poufy pink Giambattista Valli Couture gown.

The actress chose to borrow from the boys in a black Band of Outsiders pantsuit, sans shirt, for the red carpet. She pulled the look together with Venyx rings, a Jacquie Aiche ear cuff, and black Jimmy Choo pumps.

Iggy Azalea

The rapper went bold in a slinky cobalt-blue Armani Privé gown with illusion detailing. She accessorized her look with platinum jewelry by Neil Lane, including a ruby and diamond platinum ring.

The singer wore one of the night's more colorful dresses, opting for a leg-baring turquoise ombré Elie Saab Spring 2015 dress with fuchsia Guiseppe Zanotti heels and Lorraine Schwartz jewels.

Katy Perry

The pop star, fresh off her Super Bowl halftime show performance, walked the red carpet in a sheer Zuhair Murad sheath dress with crystal-embellished fringe from the Spring 2015 couture collection. She paired it with satin Sophia Webster heels. Less noticeable, however, was her canary-yellow diamond Harry Kotlar ring, worth $2 million!

The rapper looked decidedly demure in a fringed black Tom Ford gown with Jacob & Co. diamond and platinum rings.

Este, Danielle, and Alana Haim coordinated in black and white ensembles – all accented with Neil Lane jewels. Este's sheer black dress was from the Chloé resort 2015 collection.

Kat Graham

The actress showed skin in a sheer, floral-print Yanina dress with pointed white Sophia Webster heels, AS29 earrings, and a black Carrera y Carrera statement ring.

Next to designer Helen Lasichanh's tracksuit onesie, the star's trademark tuxedo shorts didn't look that surprising!
