Christina Aguilera, 2002
The early 2000s was... Uhm...a strange time for fashion. Skirts were just inches long, we had a mild obsession with hats, and basically, anything could double as a shirt. Case in point — Christina Aguilera used a scarf to make what might be the world’s smallest top.

Following the success of her hit “Dirrty,” Christina took a break from wearing leather pants and bikinis to put this equally revealing outfit together. We still don’t know how the singer made it through the entire awards show without a wardrobe malfunction!

Katy Perry and Riff Raff, 2014
Seeing Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears walk the red carpet in head-to-toe denim seemed like something we would see just once in a lifetime. Oh, how wrong we were! A little over a decade after that denim explosion, Katy Perry and rapper Riff Raff graced the VMAs with their version of the Canadian tuxedo.

Adding a bit more bling (okay, a lot more bling), Katy and Riff Raff paid homage to one of the most memorable red carpet outfits. We don’t know if it’s due to her vintage hair and makeup, but Katy actually rocked that dress!
