Not long ago, no one would have expected the 32-year-old rapper to become the best dressed at an award show. Just three years earlier, she offended Catholics in a red cloak-cape outfit by Versace while accompanied by an old guy dressed as the Pope.

While less offensive, the previous year she showed up in a crazy leopard outfit from the Givenchy Fall 2007 Couture collection complete with matching boots and leggings. Her cotton candy hair was hard to miss!
