Destiny’s Child, 2001
Who can forget Beyoncé, Kelly Roland, and Michelle Williams’ head-to-toe coral matching ensembles at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards? You can survive anything if you could survive wearing coral in the early 2000s.
Christina Aguilera, 2002
Oh, the 2000s had some wild red carpet moments, and Christina Aguilera’s MTV VMA look from 2002 fits the bill. Don’t get me wrong: the look is adorable and a classic VMA look in and of itself, but only Christina Aguilera could pull off both presenting the Best Male Video award to Eminem (despite their long-running feud) and this much midriff with grace.
