'DWTS': Which Team Dressed Best?

Mel B and Maksim Chmerkovskiy: Paso Doble (season 5)
Maks asserted himself — and his penchant for pleather — in the couple's most memorable dance, a dominatrix-style paso set to a horrifyingly G-rated rendition of En Vogue's ''Free Your Mind.''

Kyle Massey and Lacey Schwimmer: Paso Doble
Last Monday, the original lyrics were in place, along with two billion tiered tulle ruffles in Lacey's lacy re-imagining of Mel's cape. For his part, Kyle totally threw us off by wearing a shirt while supposedly dancing like Maks.

Helio Castroneves and Julianne Hough: Quickstep (season 5)
Helio's bright yellow suit has solidified this quickstep's place in history as ''The Banana Man Dance''....

Rick Fox and Cheryl Burke: Quickstep
....So imagine our surprise when Jolly Green Rick Fox and Cheryl showed up in a completely different color. And mismatching shades, to boot!

Kelly Osbourne and Louis Van Amstel: Viennese Waltz (season 9)
Kelly's sophisticated Week 1 costume proved her instant commitment to Planet Mirrorballus culture — the shocking pink against dark blue reminds me of a comet shooting its way across the Glitz Galaxy. You know, one of those!

Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas: Viennese Waltz
Aside from a strip of flowing fabric, Bristol's gown had nothing to do with the original and everything to do with a Peaches N' Cream Barbie circa 1984. (Props to commenter hmn10134 for pointing that out.)

Drew Lachey and Cheryl Burke: Tango (season 2)
A dramatic long sleeved gown helped create the illusion that Drew was dipping Cheryl in chocolate....

Jennifer Grey and Derek Hough: Tango
....While Derek opted for a mid-performance snack of red velvet cake.

Gilles Marini and Cheryl Burke: Foxtrot (season 8)
''Cheryl looks absolutely wicked. You never see animal print in the ballroom, but if anyone can handle it, Cheryl Burke can,'' costume designer Randall Christensen told me in 2009.

Brandy and Maksim Chmerkovskiy: Foxtrot
Brandy's leopard-print gloves may have given her costume an overall vibe of ''fungus,'' but the idea of turning Cheryl's costume completely inside out was pretty brilliant.

Emmitt Smith and Cheryl Burke: Tango (season 3)
The shock of a completely clothed torso on Cheryl (the horror!) was mitigated by the absence of any material on her back.

Kurt Warner and Anna Trebunskaya: Tango
Anna updated the lacy look with her signature T-shaped belt structure and allowed her hair to function as the required splash of red.
