Nicki Minaj
Out of all the daring and bold women on this list, few can match Nicki Minaj’s passion for blowing audiences’ minds with her insanely quirky and out-there arrangements. Here she is seen at the 2016 Met Gala in a BDSM-inspired Jeremy Scott number that is made up of many strap-like pieces of fabric crisscrossing throughout her body. Minaj looks like she is in no mood for anyone’s nonsense in this getup. This rapper is no stranger to being scary and provocative.

Penelope Cruz
Few celebrities can pull as much glamorous and sensational attention as Penelope Cruz. Hailing from Spain, Cruz became a well-established actress in her own country before transitioning into Hollywood stardom. Cannes would never be the same after Cruz appeared in this queenly Marchesa dress in 2011. She could not escape the photographers as this Cinderella-like piece with plenty of tantalizing appeal graced the red carpet. She and Johnny Depp were one of the hottest couples of the time.
