You’ve already looked back at some of the most jaw-dropping Grammys gowns of all time. Now we want to talk about the hair. Every year stars try to out-do (get it?!) each other with bold colors, cuts and style. So in honor of Throwback Thursday and Sunday’s 56th Annual Grammy Awards, we present four of our favorite mane moments.
Starting from top left, Gwen Stefani changed the braid game forever with her crazy head of plaits in 1998. Teamed with her late-’90s signature bindi and red lip, the No Doubt singer became the embodiment of cool Grammys style. (Gwen, if you’re listening, please bring your bump to the carpet this weekend!). Next, Beyoncé may have won five statues in 2004, but the real feat was how she managed to hold her head up under the weight of one of the most jaw-droppingly massive buns we’ve seen on the red carpet to date.

In 2010, Rihanna hit the carpet with a blonde mohawk, which was buzzed at the sides — which kicked off four straight years of hair experimentation for the star. The style was so bold it almost distracted us from her white eyeshadow. Rounding out the group, Katy Perry ditched her trademark ebony shade for a bright blue hue, which happened to coordinate with that night’s demure Elie Saab gown.
Stars, you’ve got three days to figure out how to top any of these looks — and to make our tress roundup next year.
Which look is your favorite? Share your thoughts below!
