YOU WANT YOUR MTV, AND PARAMOUNT+ HAS IT

This Is What The VMA Red Carpet Looked Like In 2000

Are you ready for the 2015 Video Music Awards? We are SO ready. In order to fully prepare for the highly-anticipated, Miley Cyrus-hosted event, we've been taking a look back at past shows and some of the #FASHUN that ruled the red carpet years ago. Today we're focusing on the 2000 VMAs, which, you may recall, is the year Britney Spears performed "Oops...I Did It Again" in a sparkly, nude-colored outfit.

We dug through the archives and found the best red carpet fashion from the memorable show—it may not feel like that long ago, but, um, a quick glance at the red carpet reveals that we've come a long way since then.
