She is known for shocking when it comes to her red carpet appearances, and this year's Grammy Awards was no exception.

Madonna stole the limelight on the red carpet as she showed off a huge amount of cleavage while dressed as a sexy matador - in a custom-made Givenchy outfit.

Gallery: Frocks that shocked

Never one to shy away from making a statement on the red carpet, Madonna went matador in Givenchy. Double gasp when she turned her back.
Charlie XCX wanted to do something "80s and fabulous," and she nailed it, picking a Moschino white tuxedo with a pink bowtie, pale pink fur stole and sparkling pink heels. "I hate boring fashion!" she told Giuliana on the red carpet.
Aoyama Thelma has a heck of a lot going on here.
Lemmy Kilmister from Motorhead couldn't decide whether to come as a pirate or a cowboy. So he came as both.
Elton Castee got creative with the razor for the special occasion, showing off striped hairy pins.
Frankie J Grande walked in front of a bright pink spray gun before stepping out at the Grammy Awards.

Brann Dailor popped in to the Grammy Awards on his way home from working as a clown at a kids' birthday party.
Pharrell has gone for a short suit again, this time in Adidas adopting the colour of the moment - white. But it's his statuesque plus one, Helen Lasichanh, who stands out in what appears to be a racecar driver's onepiece, also by Adidas.
We were talking about white, and this is how you wear too much white by, Malik Yusef.
The red is shocking enough, but is that a leather shirt, Eric Bellinger, hanging below your jacket, looking like an apron?
Aussie singer/songwriter Sia has stepped out in her massive trademark stark white hair, matching with her dancer Maddie Ziegler as they both wear custom Armani pieces.

The 56-year-old singer was accompanied by the DJ Diplo and rapper Nas at the Los Angeles event, both of whom have worked with the star on her much-talked about album Rebel Heart.

It wasn't just the outfit that shocked either, as Madge left presenter Ryan Seacrest red-face by cursing on the red carpet.

"I was p***ed!" Madonna said, talking about the leak of her album, while doing a shimmy for the cameras, further flashing her cleavage.

The album has seen no end of controversy for Madonna, who was criticised for using images of civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King Jr to promote it.

The pop queen, who apologised for upsetting people with her use of iconic figures like MLK on social media, was also forced to release tracks from her upcoming album after they were leaked online.
