Jennifer Lopez, on stage at the American Music Awards This is not so much a dress, more a body stocking, with spangles covering Jennifer's bits. Looks like she was trying to let ex-husband Marc Anthony know just what he was missing. It's the ultimate revenge outfit, yet some magazines still asked if it was "age appropriate".

Portman had been planning to wear Dior, having been hired as the brand's face, but changed her mind after designer John Galliano was filmed making anti-Semitic remarks in a Paris bar. Instead, she hastily chose a gown by Rodarte, the label which made the costumes for her film, Black Swan.

We take a look at some of the hot women who turned our heads with their dressing sense. Take a look!
Michelle Obama, in Alexander McQueen at a state dinner for China in Washington This red silk organza dress was scandalous when Michelle wore it in January because her choice of a British designer was deemed unpatriotic: Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. The First Lady defended her choice thus: "Look, women, wear what you love. That's all I can say. That's my motto. I wear what I like."
