The 2022 Grammy Awards are Sunday night, and while we're excited to see the new crop of winners, we also can't help but reminisce about some of the most unforgettable red carpet moments from the past.

Throughout the years, we have seen everything from bucket hats to girl groups in matching looks be a the thing on the red carpet.

At the 41st Grammy Awards in 1999, musical artists like Jennifer Lopez, Celine Dion and Shania Twain showed up in everything from stick-straight hair to bright pastel eyeshadow to a sequin turtleneck dress. Perhaps, many of these trends might resurface for this year's affair.

Take a nostalgic scroll down memory lane and look at 10 amazing style moments from the Grammy Awards red carpet over twenty years ago -- 1999, to be exact.
