Music’s biggest night always strikes a chord.
Indeed, the Grammys—hosted for the sixth time by Trevor Noah on Feb. 1 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles—always pack a punch in terms of pop culture-defining moments. From head-turning fashion choices to unlikely celeb encounters, the event always has a few surprises in store.
Take, for instance, Lady Gaga‘s unforgettable egg get-up at the 2011 event, where Mother Monster arrived encased in a life-size blue egg, carried in by four performers donned in latex. It wasn’t until her debut performance of “Born This Way” that Gaga (real name Stefani Germanotta) finally emerged from the casing.
The next day, she told Jay Leno that she was in the “temperature-controlled” vessel for three days before the event.
Staying on the topic of daring fashion choices, who could forget Jennifer Lopez‘s now-iconic Versace dress that she wore to the 42nd annual Grammy Awards? The risqué number featured a daring neckline that stretched all the way to her belly button, making it the most head-turning look the Grammys red carpet had ever seen.
