Celebrity Style

The 12 wildest MTV Video Music Awards looks of all time

by : Kiera Spronk- Aug 25th, 2016

1/13

The MTV Video Music Awards have reputation for getting a little out of hand. We wonder who will make history this year?

The Spice Girls

Only this epic girl group could get away with platforms, leopard print, and stars and stripes all in one red carpet appearance in 1997.

Gwen Stefani

Where to start with this 1998 red carpet look? The furry bikini top, the platform flip-flops or… we’re not even sure exactly what those bottoms are…

Lil' Kim

This 1999 look may have been outrageous, but it sure was iconic.

Britney Spears

Who could forget this Britney’s snake-charmer meets belly dancer moment in 2001?

Destiny’s Child

Famous for their colour co-ordinating outfits, these fringed, embellished dresses from 2001 may be the trio’s boldest.

Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton wore so. much. pink. back in 2002. Also, is that a beach cover-up?

Christina Aguilera

Back in 2002 Christina left very little to the imagination in this ultra mini skirt.

Lady Gaga

Who could forget 2010’s infamous meat dress?! This look was a high point in Lady Gaga’s outlandish fashion phase.

Amber Rose

2014, the year where underwear and jewellery come together to make… this.

Katy Perry

We still can’t get over Katy’s 2014 bedazzled version of Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake’s matching denim look from 2001. Bravo.

Blac Chyna

Last year, before she was a Kardashian-to-be, Blac Chyna had a few choice words to say to everyone.

Miley Cyrus

Last year’s host wore about 10 looks, each wilder than the last, but her chandelier-resembling, futuristic overalls (?) were certainly imaginative.
