I admit that in the 1990s and early 2000s, I tried out a few of Tara Reid’s revealing outfits -- backless dresses, torso-bearing tops and hip-hugging bottoms. Thankfully, we both grew out of that stage, and the controversial starlet began wearing flattering gowns and elegant ensembles. Whew!

Click through the gallery to see Reid’s style evolution as the actress celebrates her 36th birthday this Tuesday.

And have a look through our many other Style Evolutions here.
