From Jennifer Lopez's iconic Versace dress (that's still relevant two decades later) to Lady Gaga's 2016 David Bowie tribute, we can always count on the Grammy Awards to bring us some of the most talked-about moments of the year. The same goes for the beauty — especially the hairstyles that have forever changed how celebrities show up for a red carpet. In fact, since the 1959 inaugural show took place, celebrities have become more and more adventurous with their looks each year.
From Cher's statement accessories to Beyoncé's blonde bob, there are countless hairstyles that we can't forget. Ahead of the 62nd annual Grammy Awards this Sunday, we're looking back at the most memorable hair looks in the ceremony's history. Check them all out ahead.
