Forget Lady Gaga’s bizarre egg arrival or Nicki Minaj’s hair-raising leopard print ensemble; this year several stylish celebrities made it clear they wanted nothing more than to shine in the spotlight in the hottest red carpet trend to date: metallics.

Some of today's sexiest celebs definitely used this look to sparkle brighter than ever at the 53rd annual Grammy Awards.



Stars including Heidi Klum, Kim Kardashian, Miley Cyrus, Miranda Lambert and Selena Gomez all stepped out in full-length glitzy gowns in bold gold and silver, effortlessly transforming them into dazzling statuesque sirens on the red carpet.

Jennifer Lopez flaunted her famous legs in a thigh-grazing metallic beaded mini dress by Emilio Pucci. She further accessorized her glamorous look with Cartier jewels, a Daniel Swarovski clutch and Christian Louboutin heels.

Even Janelle Monae couldn’t shy away from this year’s omnipresent spirit of sparkle. The singer donned a shimmering Ralph Lauren Collection tuxedo jacket that evoked elegance and simplicity-true to her iconic style.

Our personal favorite of the evening? Jennifer Hudson looking flawless and confident in her flowing Versace dress, accented with just the perfect amount of bling on the bodice. Bravo!
