Justin Timberlake & Britney Spears
We can't ever unsee the denim formal wear this once lovey-dovey couple proudly wore at the 2001 VMAs. They were the hottest singers at the moment, the hottest couple, with access to the hottest stylists and designer duds. The looks had everyone scratching their heads.
Jennifer Lopez
The Versace dress that helped start Google Images left little to the imagination at the 2000 Grammys.
Amber Rose & Blac Chyna
To protest slut-shaming, the duo decided to make a statement at the 2015 VMAs by rocking skin-tight numbers with derogatory words often said about women. The outfits were designed by Brittany DeShields and Barbee Bonner of the label THESEPINKLIPS.

Sarah Jessica Parker
The theme of the 2015 Met Gala was China: Through the Looking Glass, so Parker paired a Philip Treacy custom headdress with a dress designed by her in collaboration with H&M. Although it may have been fashion forward, she looked a bit like the flame emoji.
Nicki Minaj
Her revealing outfits are always a topic of conversation after any red carpet event, but it was her covered-up Versace cape paired with a Pope look-alike that really surprised people at the 2012 Grammys.

Lady Gaga
At the 2010 VMAs, Gaga shocked fans by donning a meat dress made by Franc Fernandez and styled by Nicola Formichetti. Lady Gaga told Ellen the next day, "If we don't stand up for what we believe in and if we don't fight for our rights, pretty soon we're going to have as much rights as the meat on our own bones. And, I am not a piece of meat."
Bleona Qereti
She might not be a huge star in the US yet, but her fashion choices really seem to draw her attention. At the 2015 Grammys, the Albanian singer rocked a futuristic outfit by Shpeitm Zero that sure got her noticed.
