BEYONCÉ KNOWLES
2004: Hot on the heels of her solo success, the star sports a golden bejeweled suit that is short on fabric, long on baring her sexy legs.
2006: Two years later, the singer goes red carpet glam in Atelier Versace, Lorraine Schwartz diamonds – and a hint of her signature sass.
2009: It's legs back on display for the "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" star, who opts for a plunging Roberto Cavalli minidress, black pumps and big statement earrings to pick up three Moonmen, including top honors for Video of the Year.
2011: Previous ensembles couldn't compare to the jaw-dropping impact of Beyoncé's sophisticated orange Lanvin gown, which plays an integral part in her onstage baby announcement.
