Look at The Most Insane American Music Awards Outfits Over the Past 10 Years
While we're sure to turn into this evening's AMA ceremony to see Miley Cyrus's headline-making performance, who Taylor Swift brings as her date, and which crooning celebrities take home the towering trophy, we're most excited for the outfits. That's right, in the tradition of ridiculous ensembles (remember J Bieb's red drop-crotch pants from 2012, anyone?) there are sure to be some head-turning 'fits. To get you in the mood, let's look back at the past decade of most ridiculous getups worn to the American Music Awards.
2004: Missing the Middle
Cutouts can be cute. Cutouts can be subtle. Cutouts can be suggestive... can being the operative word.
2005: Eminem Influence
Everyone at the 2005 AMAs seemed to be harkening back to the Slim Shady era of oversized tees and rigid ball caps.
2006: Wangster Weird Al
Maybe it was just Weird Al, but this high school inspired Letterman jacket and Los Angeles hat are made doubly worse by his faux-gangster pose.
2007: Rhinestone Rihanna
Relatively speaking, this rhinestone, geometric getup is fairly tame for the "S&M" singer. That being said, the bullet-shell encased boxes covering her ladies are almost as distracting as the singular Superman curl accosting her face.
2008: Pirate Party
Ahoy, matey! This fashion fail is ready to walk the plank.
2009: Matador Madame
Alicia Keys can usually do no wrong. But with her powerhouse vocals and ability to melt our souls with that buttery voice, this Matador-esque getup was too extreme and buttoned up for the likes of Keys.
2010: Wilting Willow
Spawn of Will Smith, Willow, has been known for her outrageous fashion choices. This costume (?) is hard to put into words, other than saying it appears to be half Big Bird, and half Battlestar Galactica.
2011: LMFAO #Fail
Miley Cyrus might get all the credit for her now infamous stink-eye-tongue-out pose, but pop group LMFAO are the original trend setters, wearing the face on pairs of barely-there boxers during their 2011 AMA performance.
2012: Crotch Confusion
Last year, it was hard not to notice Justin Bieber's crotch. That is, the elongated red fabric that looked to be barely hugging his hips. What did you have stashed in there, Biebs? A flask? Selena Gomez? Your sense of style?
