The 42nd American Music Awards kicks off tonight and you know what that means -- more scandalous outfits on the red carpet. There's something about the AMAs that makes stars want to show a little skin. Celebs like Christina Aguilera and Nicole Richie definitely take the phrase "less is more" a little too seriously.

So, to celebrate the upcoming event, we're taking a trip down memory lane and remembering 8 of the sexiest AMA looks ... ever!
