More of the Most Daring MTV VMA Fashion Looks of All Tim

B2K, 2002

Let’s take a nostalgic trip back in time to the 2002 MTV VMAs, where B2K (remember them?) attended the awards show in matching suede and shredded outfits. As awful as these outfits are, we do have to commend the boys of B2K for really sticking to their decision to match under any circumstances — even if it looks like they lost a battle with a pair of fabric shears!

But don’t worry, all those scraps of fabric found a new life as headgear. We’re just happy to see coordinated boy band fashions be a thing of the past.

Prince, 1999

Prince was a musical genius, but his outfit at the 1999 MTV VMAs had us singing the blues. Playing into the futuristic theme in fashion at the turn of the millennium, Prince paired this electric blue latex turtleneck with equally shocking tight blue pants.

Somehow, Prince managed to rock the outfit in the way that only he could. The only cringe-worthy part of the outfit is his (out-of-frame) belly chain with charms. Even a unique artist like Prince couldn’t successfully pull off this stomach accessory!
