The Wildest Shoes Ever on the Grammy Awards Red Carpet [PHOTOS]
Every year, the Grammys celebrate achievements in the music industry — in addition to gold gramophone-shaped trophies being handed out, the star-studded event can be counted on to deliver an array of stylish looks. The red carpet and concert stage present an opportunity for musicians to show off their fashion sense, and that sometimes means showcasing a bold or unconventional shoe. Back in 1999, for example, Madonna gave a performance to remember in a striking pair of platform scarlet red boots.
Erykah Badu made a statement on the red carpet in 2002 wearing super chunky platform boots that looked fit for an excursion in space. In 2016, Lady Gaga turned heads in a red pair of gravity-defying platform pumps with sky-high stiletto heels, a custom pair from Stuart Weitzman that accompanied one of her outfits paying tribute to the late David Bowie. In 2024, Miley Cyrus displayed a creative design with a Tabi shoe hailing from a collaboration between Maison Margiela and Christian Louboutin. See below for these looks and more striking shoes worn at the Grammys over the years.
