20 Of The Craziest VMA Outfits

The 2010 MTV Video Music Awards take place this Sunday so Billboard decided to go down memory lane and take a look at some of the craziest VMA outifts.

20. Lil Mama looks more like child than mother at the VMAs in 2009.

19. At least Rodman rocked the red AIDS ribbon on his train wreck of a look in 1995.

18. Let’s hope Missy Elliot, pictured here in at the 2003 VMAs, didn’t use her MTV Moon Man to tee off.

17. Katy Perry was a “teenage dream” with her vintage Barbie look at the 2008 VMAs.

16. Slipknot looked slightly respectable in their suits and ties at the VMAs in 2008.

15. Before Gwen Stefani was a fashionista, she was “just a girl” in ’98 — who had blue hair and futuristic skirts.

14. Fergie‘s hat is reminiscent of “A Clockwork Orange,” but the rest of the outfit screams saucy schoolgirl at the 2006 VMAs.

13. Lenny Kravitz‘s 1998 single “Fly Away” wasn’t joking, but the rocker didn’t prove it until six years later at the VMAs.

12. How could Shakira even sit down in those skin-tight leather pants is the outrageous part of her outfit at the 2001 VMAs.

11. Jack Black is a not-so-”smooth criminal” at the 2003 VMAs, ripping off Michael Jackson’s look with more humor than style.

10. Destiny’s Child channels a Native American vibe at the VMAs in 2001. It’s more Dances With Beyonce than “Dances With Wolves.”

09. Pink — at her most, well, pink — rocks leopard and gold for a wild child look at the 2000 VMAs.

08. His eyebrows might be the most surprising part of Axl Rose‘s sporty look at the 2001 VMAs.

07. Lil Kim was as brave as they come in 1999, letting it all hang out.

06. Big Boi and André 3000 of Outkast somehow make furry pants and orange overalls look good at the 2001 VMAs.

05. Schoolgirl no more. Britney Spears debuted her biker side at the 2002 VMAs.

04. For once, Mudvayne‘s brightly-colored mohawks were not the most eye-catching part of the band’s appearance, pictured here in 2001.

03. Christina Aguilera definitely needed double-sided tape in order to avoid a “wardrobe malfunction” at the 2002 VMAs.

02. For once, Marilyn Manson, pictured here in 1998 with then-girlfriend Rose McGowan, is not the center of attention.

01. Lady Gaga showed off her many, many sides at the 2009 VMAs.

How the hell is GaGa number 1? Rose McGowan was practically nude and Mudvayne have bullet holes in their head – either of them should have been number 1. To see the full 50 craziest VMA outfits head over to the source.
