Her couture ensemble by Armani Privé featured glittery orbit-like rings around a sheer structured asymmetric dress.

She accessorized with a starburst ornament and bejeweled plaform shoes – after all, she is the center of her own universe. 

In 2016, her red carpet look was an interpretation of Ziggy Stardust (red hair and all!)as a tribute to the late David Bowie.

Fresh off her Super Bowl halftime show in 2017, she was set to perform on the Grammy stage with Metallic. 

Naturally, for the momentous occasion she rocked a black crop jacket (complete with underboob) and shiny hot pants adorned with chains, by Alex Ulichny.
