Slideshow: Rihanna’s dress steals spotlight at Grammy Awards

LOS ANGELES – In a jaw dropping dress designed by Giorgio Armani, Rihanna looked beautiful in her silk custom gown that she wore at Sunday night’s 54th annual Grammy Awards at the Staples Center.

Rihanna’s inspiration for her dress was a similar dress Michelle Pfeiffer wore in the movie “Scarface.”

Adele showed off her slimmer figure wearing a figure-hugging black dress shooting down Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld’s comments saying Adele is a pretty girl but “too fat.” She was also the biggest winner of the night picking up six Grammy Awards.

Jennifer Hudson’s tribute to Whitney Houston who died unexpectedly on Saturday was a real tear-jerker as she sang one of Houston’s most popular songs, “I Will Always Love You.”

Chris Brown has definitely made a comeback after picking up a Grammy for best R&B album. It was in 2009 when his career took a step back after his arrest for beating his then girlfriend Rihanna. "We got one!” Brown said during his acceptance speech.
