"Walking the red carpet, Rihanna showed off a stunning haute couture creation from Jean Paul Gaultier's Spring 2011 collection, entitled "Punk Can Can," that was spicy, coquettish, and cutting-edge all at once. She wore a floor-length gown featuring an off-shoulder neckline and an hourglass silhouette. The dress featured transparent panels and strategically placed layers of white tulle ruffles from head to toe."
"The layers led to a slight mermaid hem with a small tulle train that draped the red carpet and obscured her footwear. Given that the ceremony took place during her Loud era, RiRi was rocking her iconic bright red hair, which added a contrasting edge to the frilly 'fit. She opted out of adding bling, save for a single gold pendant ring."
"Like a true superstar, Rihanna pulled double duty at the 2011 Grammys by performing twiceat the ceremony, complete with several costume changes. While performing "Love The Way You Lie" with Eminem, she donned a dramatic black ballgown, featuring a strapless neckline made of ruffled lace and a voluminous floor-length skirt that descended into fragments of red and yellow fabric, making it look like she's burning in flames."
Rihanna treats the Grammys as a fashion platform, often taking risks with cutout gowns and custom couture. She has not attended the ceremony in a while, as it has been ten years since she released her last studio album, Anti, which received six nominations at the 2017 ceremony. At the 2011 Grammys she wore Jean Paul Gaultier's Spring 2011 "Punk Can Can" gown, featuring transparent panels, strategically placed white tulle ruffles, an off-shoulder neckline, an hourglass silhouette, and a slight mermaid hem with a tulle train. She also performed twice, including a dramatic appearance with Eminem in a black ballgown with a skirt that appeared to burn with red and yellow fragments.
