On March 14, 2021, the Grammys will return for the 63rd year. In honor of music's biggest night, which will be hosted by Trevor Noah, Wonderwall.com is heading back to 2011 to see who made a splash on that red carpet, starting with Rihanna. Ten years ago, Rihanna was nominated for an impressive four Grammys and brought her A-game fashion-wise for the big night. The singer took a well-calculated fashion risk and arrived in a white Jean Paul Gaultier dress that left little to the imagination. RiRi's dress was risque, but more importantly, unique, making it one of the most memorable looks from the February 2011 award show. Keep reading to see more top Grammys fashion from a decade ago…
