Britney Spears (2002)
No, Ma'am! Not a girl, not yet a streetwalker. It's hard to imagine this leather-clad cutie with kids, isn't it?

Lil' Kim (1999)
Breast in Show Before her year in prison for lying under oath, the pint-sized rapper wore this technically street-legal unitard to the ceremony. Hooray for pasties!

Marilyn Manson and Rose McGowan (1998)
Chained Melody The draped beading that Rose McGowan (with then-fiancé Marilyn Manson at the 1998 awards) called a ''gown'' made for a better window than a door; we've seen less skin on late-night Cinemax

Destiny's Child (2001)

Tommy Lee (1999)
J. Crüe Lee shows Christina Aguilera that just the right blend of dirty and pervy can make the flasher look red-carpet-ready.

Lenny Kravitz (1993)
Hi-Ho Silver Just because the award is a spaceman doesn't mean you have to dress like one, Mr. Kravitz.
