When it comes to the rules of the red carpet, the book is burned before of the Grammy Awards, making room for showstoppers and massive shockers.

That's why we love it so much.

On the back of yesterday's frocks and shocks at the Grammy Awards we've taken a look back at the most memorable fashion from the music awards.

Madonna, 2015: Kicking off with the most recent flesh flashing moment from Madge, the 56-year-old showed she can still push the boundaries of fashion, causing a stir in this custom made Givenchy matador ensemble.
Rihanna, 2015: What made this gorgeous Giambattista Valli  couture gown stand out for us is the way it moved around the petite popstar as she spectacularly stepped out on to the red carpet fashionably late.
Pharrell, 2014: Pharrell Williams' vintage Vivian Westwood hat went viral, spiralling its own Twitter handle - currently at 19K followers.
Florence Welch, 2013: You might not try it on if it was hanging on the rack, but there was something about this reptilian-like snug, green, shimmering gown that perfectly suited the colourings of the singer.
Kimbra, 2013: We were so proud to see homegirl, Kimbra, walk the red carpet at the awards (and bag an award), and she looked perfectly whimsy in this custom made, shimmering tulle ensemble.
Nicki Minaj, 2012: Remember this? The red, satin, Versace cloak with matching gloves and Pope?
Lady Gaga, 2011: Lady Gaga made her way down the red carpet, carried inside an egg. It doesn't get much more eccentric than that.
Kim Kardashian, 2011: Back before Kim K had a reason to actually attend the Grammy Awards, the reality TV star put her best foot forward in this saucy gold Kaufman Franco gown.
Lady Gaga, 2010: Before the egg arrival there was this sci-fi Armani Prive creation.
M.I.A, 2009: The year M.I.A showed off her beaut baby bump she dished up two memorable outfits - arriving in a massive blue dress with matching peacock trainers and performing later in a bold body-hugging polka dot mini-dress.
Tina Turner, 2008: Skin-tight silver corset with matching pedal pushers. Simply the best.
OK Go, 2007: No idea what the heck is going on here.
Kanye West, 2006: We love that Kanye West is trying so hard but coming off more Saturday Night Live than the superstar he thinks he is.
P!nk, 2002: Just some clothes for punky Pink at the 2002 awards.
Destiny's Child, 2001: Our favourite girl group all together, dressed by Queen Bey's mum in matching outfits stitched from spangled emerald fabric. Kelly Rowland's flared jumpsuit is the highlight here.
Christina Aguilera, 2001: Remember when rising popette X-tina decided braids in her bleach blonde hair were a hot idea? She was in her Dirrty phase.
Toni Braxton, 2001: Toni leaves nothing to the imagination.
Britney Spears, 2000: Britney Spears at a tender 18-years-old - butter wouldn't melt.
Jennifer Lopez, 2000: One of the deepest plunges ever attempted, J-Lo's super sexy tropical green chiffon Versace gown, is one of the most memorable looks ever attempted at the Grammy Awards.
Annie Lennox, 1995: Kind of like a badass, bondage Minnie Mouse, that's the look the Eurythmics member was going for.
Cyndi Lauper, 1984: She sure did know how to have fun.
Cher, 1974: Before J-Lo dared to bare her bellybutton, Cher was showing us how it's done. Those eyelashes and butterfly hair accessory take this to the next level.
