The 14 Most Iconic Versace Looks in Grammys History
The countdown is on. The 66th annual Grammy Awards will be held on Sunday, February 4. In anticipation of the sure-to-be-amazing looks, I decided to take a walk down memory lane and revisit iconic outfits by one of the event's most dominant red carpet designers: Versace.
You probably don't need reminding, but Jennifer Lopez's cut-down-to-there Versace dress went hugely viral in 2000—before going viral was even a thing. In 2021, Doja Cat wore her own version of the dress, donning a belly-button-exposing plunging gown festooned with feathers. Scroll down to see my favorite Versace looks in Grammys history, including those of Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Christina Aguilera, Nicki Minaj, Paris Hilton, and more.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
