Britney Spears’ and Justin Timberlake’s denim licks were etched on the retinas.
Birntey Spears and Justin Timberlake were the hottest couple of the early 2000s. PDO
The star couple of the 21st century Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake rocked head-to-toe denim at the 2001 American Music Awards.
Both of them were really only wearing denim, down to Britney’s handbag and Justin’s hat.
The comical costume became one of the most iconic of the 21st century, and a similar style has been seen in Halloween antics.
Britney now tells in her biography Britney Spears – Woman in Me (WSOY), which made them wear denim.
Britney tells how in the southern states, mothers used to dress their children in matching colors when going to church. This was what Britney had in mind when the couple attended the American Music Awards in 2001.
These outfits became iconic. PDO
At that time, Justin had managed to put on denim.
– Let’s dress the same! Denim and denim, Britney said at the time.
According to Britney, it was a joke.
I didn’t think my clothing designer would go along with the idea, and it never occurred to me that Justin would agree to it. But both grabbed the idea, Britney says in her book.
The couple used to do color coordination when it came to clothes, but according to Britney, similar denim fabrics went “overwhelming”.
I get that the gimmick was tacky, but it’s also pretty cool in a way, and I’m always happy to see parodies of it in Halloween costumes. Justin has been criticized for that look.
– When you’re young and in love, you do all kinds of things, Justin himself said in a podcast.
He was absolutely right. We rode our bikes, and those outfits reflected that.
