The Grammy Awards are music's biggest night, and they didn't disappoint. From the return of Justin Timberlake to Rihanna's Bob Marley tribute, the show was full of unforgettable moments. However, these women showed up looking so hot we almost forgot the night was supposed to be about music!

10. Solange Knowles
Solange Knowles wowed photographers on the red carpet with a sparkly green Ralph & Russo stunner.
9. Carrie Underwood
Country superstar Carrie Underwood won Best Solo Country Performance for her song "Blown Away," but we were the ones blown away by the former American Idol in Roberto Cavalli.
8. Taylor Swift
After hitting the red carpet in this goddess-like J.Mendel dress, Taylor Swift continued her reign as the baddest b*tch in America with her opening performance of "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together."
7. Kelly Rowland
Hot off her Super Bowl halftime performance with the rest of Destiny's Child, Kelly Rowland looked amazing while presenting the award for Best Urban Contemporary Album to Frank Ocean. Although she toed around the wardrobe rules, would anyone really have complained?
6. Kat Dennings
Kat Dennings, under the guise of presenting Dr. John and The Black Keys, was really there to promote CBS' 2 Broke Girls. Suffice it to say, it worked.
5. Allison Williams
Lena Dunham wasn't the only Girls castmember at the Grammys—her costar Allison Williams went shimmery in a black strapless gown. She may not have a boyfriend who won Best New Artist, but Williams stole the show.
4. Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez is no stranger to steaming up the Grammys. Onstage with Pitbull, she even joked that her infamous outfit to the award show in 2000 was probably the reason for the dress code memo. Worth it.
3. Beyoncé
Although the most we got of Queen Bey was her introduction of Justin Timberlake, that was enough to leave us transfixed.
2. Katy Perry
OK, so Katy Perry didn't technically flout the dress code—it said no side boob, and this is just good old fashioned décolletage. Her famous curves went perfectly with boyfriend John Mayer's blue jacket. Then again, what wouldn't she go perfectly with?
1. Rihanna
Our current cover girl was our no. 1 last year, too, and she brought it even harder in 2013. All three of her looks were ultra-sultry. She wore a flowing red gown on the red carpet, a slinky black one for her stripped-down performance of "Stay," and a teasing crop top for the Bob Marley tribute. We can't wait to see what she does next.
