Back to Basics
When attending the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards, Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears looked wonderful with their turtleneck sweater or little black dress. Their style, however, would change less than a year later.
The Reveal
'Twas a star-studded evening at the 2001 American Music Awards when Justin and Britney arrived to the red carpet with an outfit never seen before.
Red, Set, Pose
From the hat to the purse, there was SO. MUCH. DENIM.
What Are They Wearing?!
Photographers went crazy. Pop culture fans called their BFFs on an actual telephone to discuss the looks. And the look drove everyone crazy for all the right reasons.
Red Carpet Moment
Little did the Hollywood couple know that the red carpet look would become a pop culture fashion moment that would be shared with generations to come.
Perfect Match
Later in the year, the couple stepped out for a basketball charity event where they did it again—they wore matching outfits!
Denim Girls
It was the denim-on-denim look, however, that fans will never forget. At the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards, Katy Perry and Riff Raff put their own twist on the look. And for the record: Brit Brit called it "amazing."
Double Trouble
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds tried to recreate the look with a little help from Adobe Photoshop...
Costume Contest
YouTube stars Jake Paul and Tana Mongeau channeled the look for Halloween nearly 20 years after the initial award show...
Denim Darlings
Victoria's Secret model Devon Windsor and Johnny Dex did their best impression for one Halloween party...
Couple Goals
And although Miley Cyrus hasn't tried to replicate the look (yet), she was so inspired by the couple that it plays a role in who she dates. "I want a boyfriend that will wear jean on jean on jean with me," she once shared with the Nationalist in 2013.
Winner, Winner
Ultimately, Britney deserves credit for the matching look. "It was my idea," she once told MTV News. As for Justin, he doesn't plan on wearing something similar again. "It was such a crazy time and the world was different, the music industry was different. It was just a different time," the singer shared on The Project.
