20 years ago, the biggest night in music was a diva overload.
On February 8, 2004, the 46th annual Grammy Awards took place at Staples Center in Los Angeles and featured nearly ever major pop music queen of the day serving all that early aughts glamour.
From Madonna and Beyonce to Kylie Minogue, Christina Aguilera and Kelly Clarkson, the girls and the gays that love them were living their best lives rocking anorexic eyebrows, locks flat ironed to within an inch of their lives and ensembles that could be considered timeless or dated depending where you lie on the Zoomer to Boomer timeline.
Among the artists who won awards were Xtina, Kylie, Celine Dion, and Beyonce, who took home five including two for “Crazy in Love.”
Queen Bey was also responsible for one of the most memorable moments as she performed with Prince for a bombastic opening number.
Royalty in the house:
Other winners included Outkast for Album of the Year with Speakerboxxx, Coldplay’s “Clocks” for Record of the Year and Evanescence for Best New Artist.
With the 2024 Grammys set to air this Sunday, click through to gawk at all the old school eleganza from the 2004 Grammys below:
Six months after the infamous Britney make out session at the VMAs, the Queen of Pop went it alone as she flaunted her toned arms and shoulders – and her Kabbalah red string – in a pink Versace gown.
While it didn’t work out in the end, Ellen and Alexandra did make a beautiful couple back in the day. Months after this photo, Ellen began her relationship with Portia de Rossi, while Alexandra is now married to Jodie Foster.
While Janet Jackson was uninvited to the Grammys just days after the infamous Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction, Justin not only got to go (after agreeing to apologize on air) but also won two Grammys that night.
Not only was this a Schitt’s Creek prequel but 20-year-old Dan is twinky and adorable! We love this journey for him!
