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.
