Ahh the meat dress. Who could forget this wild moment from the 2010 VMAs? (The answer is no one.)

At the 2023 event, the artist known as “Paint the Town Red” decided to bare his chest, wearing an internet-inspired dress from Monse.

At the 2002 concert, the performer who sings “Stronger” bid farewell to the ornate, feminine, and glamorous outfits she was previously famous for, surprising the audience with a sharp halter dress, lace-up shoes, gloves, and a captain’s hat – all edgy pieces.

At the 2011 event, the extravagant “Starships” hostess made a grand entrance wearing an oversized costume, which was adorned with various taxidermied animal remains.

Cheers to this bold appearance! The singer didn’t conform to fashion norms at the 2000 red carpet event; instead, they made a striking entrance with fiery pink spiked hair, low-slung denim pants, a shimmering gold sequined halter top, and an eye-catching coat.

The Jennifer’s Body actress bared her own bod in a nearly-naked look at the 2021 ceremony.

1998 saw a groundbreaking moment in fashion when the rapper breathlessly redefined the concept of color harmony. With her wig, jumpsuit, pasties, and lipstick synchronizing to the same lilac shade, she effortlessly made this hue an undeniable symbol of style.

At the 2022 event, the rapper known as “Montero” captured attention with an extravagant appearance that had attendees referring to him personally. He donned a grand, feathered skirt and coordinating headdress designed by Harris Reed.

Look! The pop star confidently struck a pose during the 1984 award ceremony while wearing her famous white, fiery gown, intricate lace gloves, and eye-catching accessory jewels.

In a spectacular fashion reminiscent of Disney’s past, the performer made an entrance in 2015, showcasing their bold style in a shimmering chrome outfit embellished with sparkles.

In 2018, she adorned her bondage-style, crimson latex bodysuit with a cat mask and a whip, as expected.

In 2002, the outfit of the “Dirrty” singer was characterized by minimalist mini skirts often verging on immodest, scarves used as tops, and hats resembling those worn in a pageboy style.

Hey there! I’ve got to say, at that 2019 bash, the DJ really took me by storm with his eye-catching ensemble! From the vibrant pattern on his suit down to the cowboy hat and dazzling belt buckle, it was a red carpet moment that left an indelible mark. Yeehaw!

The timeless fashion style of Gwen Stefani, lead singer of No Doubt, from 1998 continues to be celebrated, including this particular ensemble. Her electric blue hair, coordinated bikini top, facial adornments, and hula-hoop skirt worn with pants epitomize the “the more, the merrier” philosophy.

Is somebody gonna match her freak? The “Nasty” singer bared almost all during the 2023 ceremony.

The rapper known for her tunes from “Candy Land” made a bold fashion choice while strutting on the red carpet: she donned a vibrant rainbow jumpsuit to deliver her significant message.

As a die-hard fan, let me gush over J.Lo’s iconic fashion moments! In the same unforgettable year she graced us with her legendary green Versace dress, she also slayed in an all-white ensemble at the 2000 MTV VMAs. From the bedazzled bandana to the shimmering Sean John crop top, that look embodied the essence of early ’00s style – pure perfection!

At the 1992 event, the Versace design, which was both striking and provocative, like a dominatrix outfit, captivated everyone as the supermodel showcased it.

At the 2008 ceremony, the performer of “Fireworks” added an element of grandeur and elegance, yet maintained a light-hearted and charming vibe through her choice of attire. This included fun purple heels, a feathery accessory, a sparkling hair adornment, and a patriotic handbag.

Star trio! The threesome combined flamboyance with audacity at the 2000 show. From the sparkling bustiers to the sleek latex leather bottoms, Kelly Rowland, Beyoncé, and Michelle Williams left everyone in awe wearing these uniquely tailored ensembles.

At the 2019 red carpet event, the performer of “Sweet But Psycho” made a striking appearance in an outfit inspired by superheroes!

2018 saw the Black Ink Crew star boldly displaying her skin, adorning it with shimmering pasties that harmoniously complemented her dazzling outfit.

At the 2023 ceremony, I proudly displayed my unique style by wearing a dramatic black dress adorned with a sweeping train and strategically placed cutouts at the backside, channeling the bold spirit of “The ‘I’m Gonna Show You Crazy’ singer.

Drawing inspiration from Britney Spears during her “Toxic” era, the influencer’s 2016 red carpet look exuded a bold and vibrant personality.

Prior to Rihanna gracing the CFDA Awards in 2014, it was the ‘Charmed’ actress who made a striking appearance at the 1998 MTV VMAs in that sheer outfit.

She always delivers, and at the 2018 event on the red carpet, the singer didn’t hold back, opting for a nearly transparent dress.

In 2019, instead of taking her usual formal attire, the supermodel chose a lively, playful, and bold outfit instead.

In the early 2000s, before social media platforms like Instagram were commonplace, I, as a lifestyle enthusiast, decided to creatively share my experiences and passions with the world by subtly incorporating personal promotions into my daily life and activities.

In 2011, we admired the singer’s resilience as she chose not to let her injury affect her choice of a stunning ensemble.

Twins! Leave it to stars to make a serious statement on the 2015 red carpet.
