She may not have walked the red carpet, but she stole the fashion show. After performing the opening number, the pop diva changed into a sheer white floral lace gown that was exactly the kind of risque style statement we expect to see on music's biggest night. The dress was created by 31-year-old L.A.-based designer and "Project Runway" alum Michael Costello. To read an interview with Costello about this dress, click here.

Zebra stripes and lion heads, oh my. It's a whole African safari on a dress. Another cuckoo fashion choice, yes, and I kind of like it. At least it doesn't whimper like so much of what we saw on the Grammys red carpet; it roars. The gown is by Nicholas Jebran, one of several under-the-radar designers who were flying high on the Grammys red carpet.

This sparkly white Haus of Milani gown with scroll-patterned insets is a little wack-a-doodle, especially with the super-high hair. But hey, this is the Grammys. And that's what we expect.

Lots of guys wore vivid color on the red carpet, but Macklemore's plush teal velvet tuxedo was one of the best looks of the night. A thrift store find, perhaps? If so, we'll take it.

Oh how I wanted to love this look, a Ralph Lauren tuxedo chosen by 8-year-old son, David, who was sporting a similar style. But the queen mum of pop piled on way too many accessories. The hat, gold mouth grill, Maltese cross pin and crystal-mesh hand bracelet -- it was overkill.

The pregnant star collaborated with Emilio Pucci designer Peter Dundas on this coppery sequined stunner, which was sexy and serpentine-looking, not unlike the Gucci gown Olivia Wilde wore to the Golden Globes.

Pharrell Williams has been named to nearly every best-dressed list on the planet and this is what he comes up with for the Grammys? The hat is a quirky statement, we get it. But the jeans and leather track jacket just don't cut it for the red carpet. (He is shown with his date.)
