Lil' Kim
Lil' Kim wore her infamous purple pasty ensemble in 1999, and we still haven't gotten over when Diana Ross gave her naked boob a playful pat on stage.
Lady Gaga
Mother Monster's meat dress from the 2010 VMAs still has tongues wagging.
Rose McGowan
To call Rose McGowan's see-through getup from the 1998 VMAs a "dress" is a huge stretch…
Nicki Minaj
A colorful medical mask, ice cream cone necklace and pink lacy tutu are just a few items on Nicki's busy 2011 VMAs ensemble.
Gwen Stefani
Where do we start? Blue hair + fuzzy bikini top + hula hoop skirt over trash bag pants=Gwen's 1998 ensemble.
Christina Aguilera
Woah, Christina's 2002 getup is an overload of skin and trends from the early aughts.
Selena Gomez
The deconstructed bustier and deep side slit on this Atelier Versace gown are new styles for the singer, but there's no doubt Selena works them like a pro at the 2013 MTV VMAs.
Katy Perry
A kimono clad, lavender-haired Katy makes a chipper appearance at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards.
Beyoncé
The bump heard round the world! Yes, Queen B's Lavin dress was jaw-dropping, but her baby bump stole the 2012 show.
Ciara
To the naked eye, Ciara's dress looks almost entirely see-though. But strategically placed embroidery and crystals on this sheer Givenchy Couture gown manage to cover up the singer at the 2013 show.
Miley Cyrus
The quirky hair buns are an iconic hairstyle associated with the singer, but it's her candy-like Dolce & Gabbana crop top combo from the 2013 MTV VMAs we're noticing.
Rita Ora
There's no doubt Rita looks elegant in this Alexandre Vauthier couture gowns, but did the train really need to be that long?
Usher & Justin Bieber
The buds coordinate in black for the 2010 VMAs.
Taylor Swift
We are never, ever going to get over this T.Swift outfit from 2012—the blond beauty was absolutely white hot in a custom suit by J. Mendel.
Katy Perry
Roar! No, we're not referring to the pop princess' hit song, but rather her furry animal print Emanuel Ungaro mini from the 2013 VMAs.
Selena Gomez
She's got legs! Selena showed off her sexy side at the 2010 show in a Reem Acra dress.
Britney Spears
It's Britney, bitch! The singer stuns in Moschino at the 2011 show.
Nicki Minaj
No doubt this Versace jumpsuit had fans cheering as it showed off the singer's famous curves at the 2012 show.
Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez
Ah, young love. Selena glows in a sexy Julien MacDonald gown while Biebs' pants are red hot

RiRi always sizzles, but at the 2012 VMAs, she brought the heat in a backless gown by Adam Selman.
Katy Perry
Our favorite California Gurl sizzles in an Elie Saab dress on the 2012 red carpet.
