PIX: Lady Gaga, Rihanna jazz up 2012 Grammys

The 54th annual Grammy Awards night belonged to two people -- singer/songwriter Adele who swept the show with six awards in top categories and Whitney Houston, who was found dead on Sunday, February 12, in a hotel.

But there were other headline makers who grabbed eyeballs with their outfits and performances. Here's looking at the highlights:

Lady Gaga

The songstress topped her egg act from last year's Grammys with an even more bizzare outfit made out of leotard and fishnets.

Gaga also planted a kiss on Sir Paul McCartney's cheek when she bumped into him at the awards.

Rihanna

R&B singer Rihanna, who performed with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, arrived in a sexy black backless number at the red carpet.

Fergie

Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie wore a see-through lacy orange outfit  and a slick hairdo for the event.

Mitch Winehouse and Tony Bennett

Late singer Amy Winehouse's father Mitch recieved a posthumous award for his daughter for her duet on the track Body And Soul with Tony Bennett.

The award was presented by Bennett himself.

Jennifer Hudson

Singer Jennifer Hudson sported a slinky black gown that accentuated her new svelte frame.

Hudson paid tribute to Whitney Houston, as she sang one of her songs on stage.

Nicki Minaj

R&B singer Nicki Minaj gave tough competition to Lady Gaga in the bizarre dress department.

She wore an outfit fashioned after Red Riding Hood.

Diana Ross and Taylor Swift

Diana Ross received a Lifetime Achievement award at the show. But the 70-year-old singing legend claimed she has no intention of ending her musical career.

Taylor Swift looked glamorous in her golden outfit.

Alicia Keys

Alicia Keys made a fashion statement in her black dress, and turned up hairstyle.

Bruno Mars and Bruce Springsteen

Bruce Springsteen kicked off the Grammy awards show this year with a great performance. The other wonderful performance of the evening came from Bruno Mars.
