Zac Posen is a fairly young, New York-native, that’s made his own rules when it comes to the fashion industry.

Let's review Zac Posen's past red carpet scene stealers'.

By Tiara Henry

Elie Saab is a designer we havent seen much of at the Grammy’s, but when we do we absolutely love it. Specializing in sparkling-detailed couture gowns, Elie Saab is a celebrity favorite for the award show circuit.

Beyonce was the first to wear Elie Saab to the Grammy’s in 2006.

Beyonce is obviously a fan of Elie Saab’s designs, as are we. We hope to see more of the designer on this year’s red carpet.

 

GRAMMY Red Carpet History: Versace

Versace has a long history on the GRAMMY Red Carpet -insert obvious reference to Jennifer Lopez's stunning Versace gown in 2000, here. But J.Lo isn't the only songstress to rock the Versace name to our annual event. Let's rewind and take a look at the style house's past red carpet and performance appearances.

In 2004, Madonna looked graceful and elegant in a Versace dress with a daring neckline.

Notorious for rockin’ Versace on the Grammy red carpet, Jennifer Lopez stayed true to tradition by wearing this showing-not-too-much-bust-jusssst-enough dress in 2010.

I’m almost positive we can expect to see more gorgeous designs from Versace this year!
