Today we're taking a trip down memory lane to revisit some of the most controversial red-carpet moments from the Latin Grammy Awards. Get ready to relive some jaw-dropping outfits—though this time not for the best reason.

Let's start with a harsh truth: not everything that shines is gold at the Latin Grammys. Year after year, we've witnessed fashion choices that missed the mark.

2001: Christina Aguilera's "Less is More" Look

At the second Latin Grammy Awards, Christina Aguilera wore what looked like two strategically placed strips of fabric. Her tiny top and sky-high slit left little to the imagination and plenty for people to talk about.

2006: Ivy Queen and Her 'More is More' Look

The reggaeton queen embraced excess with a look featuring a belt, sheer fabric, and a dramatically voluminous skirt, resulting in an outfit that seemed straight out of a low-budget sci-fi movie.

2007: Laura Pausini

The Italian singer is usually praised for her style, but this time, her dress seemed better suited for a gala from the past, doing her no favors.

2011: Alejandra Guzmán

Known for her bold style, Guzmán went for her signature rocker look, but it didn't win her much praise that year.

2016: Dencia

With sparkly pants, a matching jacket, and a blue bra, her outfit was praised by some as glamorous but by others as flamboyantly out of place.

2018: Mon Laferte's Origami Suit

Laferte surprised with a suit that looked like a child had folded it, with wrinkles in all the wrong places. This polarizing look earned her a spot on the most controversial list.

It's fascinating to see how these fashion faux passes have evolved (or not) over the years. From the early 2000s excesses to today's futuristic experiments, the Latin Grammy red carpet always delivers memorable—and sometimes forgettable—moments.

But let's be honest, isn't the thrill of these fashion risks part of the fun? Without these "what were they thinking?" moments, red carpets would be far less interesting.
