The most daring outfits worn by female rappers

Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, who passed away in 2002, wore a condom on her left eye in support of the group's safe-sex message. Later on in her career, she switched to a black line under her eye.

Left Eye in particular made bold statements with her up-dos and famous under-eye marking.

Lil' Kim's sex-positive raps and daring outfits made her stand out even more in an industry dominated heavily by men.

Pictured here with Giorgio Armani, Lil' Kim and her fondness for risk-taking helped distinguish her place in fashion history forever.

That seashell nipple pastie was only adhered with eyelash glue and prayer.

This barely there bodysuit, complete with fur wrist warmers, a rhinestone thong, and Swarovski embellishments, was designed by Misa Hylton, who drew inspiration from designer Nija Battle's furs.

She presented Alexander McQueen with the fashion designer of the year award.

Bonus points for Minaj's platinum blonde beehive that added an especially camp edge to her look.

Complete with leg warmers and visually dizzying footwear, the face mask affirms this get-up was ahead of its time.

Her custom Moschino gown featured a thigh-high slit, ornate beading, and a tufted floor-length train.

The jaw-dropping garment's bodice was covered in real rubies and the rippled, tulle train required its own cortège.

Mugler derived inspiration from Sandro Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus" for this gown which has a structured nude foundation and mermaid style skirt that flares upward to resemble an oyster shell.

She's pictured here with husband Offset who is offering some additional support.

The mock-neck dress featured structured paneling and paired well with the rapper's mask as she went shopping in Los Angeles in January of this year.

The stunning gown featured a form-fitting bodice and feathered arching.

The see-through mini-dress was coated in rhinestones.

The hip-high slit was garnished with 40 feet of vintage Swarovski silver chain.
