Best & Worst: MTV VMA Iconic Moments

This is my last list for a while, and you guys totally made it a great one with some awesome outfits that really highlighted iconic MTV VMA moments!


Taylor Swift & Kanye West
PerezStarGossip

Perez: Starting off the list with the most controversial moment in recent VMA history, Kanye West interrupting Taylor Swift's acceptance speech in 2009! Honestly, I mean of course I felt so bad for Taylor and it was a complete dick move on his part, but these are the OMG moments I look forward to on the VMAs!
Dan: This is just awesome and a fantastic idea for a dress up, everything is pretty much spot on, from the hair down to the shoes and Kayne looks really good too. This is one of the most iconic moments I have ever seen on TV, not just the VMA's and although I understand Kanye was an asshole he had a point, Single Ladies SHOULD have won!
Dei: LMAO, I remember I was speechless when I watched this and hated Kanye for a bit after. But looking back, tons of people diss people, at least he had the balls to do it in her face, too bad it was over national television.
Jack: YAY Kanye, he is my idol. Perez did a great job with layering the dresses and stuff, loved it!

Beyonce & Taylor
semimilor_jonas

Perez: Great moment to choose, Beyonce graciously giving Taylor the opportunity to give her acceptance speech, but the outfits are dull to say the least. There was definitely a lot more she could have done with all the items available to her in Starplaza.
Dan: I like how she picked the magnanimous moment Queen B stood up for Taylor, because I loved how she did that but I have to agree with Perez that the outfits are kind of dull and more could have been done to recreate the looks, especially in the starplaza, the possibilities are endless and to be honest I don't see a great amount of effort here.
Dei: Too plain. A bit messy on the Beyonce outfit. I thought Beyonce was a sweet heart for what she did then though.
Jack: Kind of boring, she didn't put much effort into either of the outfits.


Kanye West (& a bottle of Hennessey)
punkyfish2007

Perez: Kanye on the red carpet pre-Taylor fiasco, tossing it back with his eccentric girlfriend (at the time), Amber Rose. I actually think hers would have been a better outfit to do, but Punky just did this for the lulz :D:D
Dan: It's actually not bad, it's pretty similar to Kanye actually so I'm not mad at it, but then again it was a pretty basic choice which would have taken minimal effort to create.
Dei: I would have rather seen Amber Rose's outfit, I love her. This one is a good match but a boring outfit.
Jack: If these outfits don't start getting more exciting, I'm going to cry. So far, I've seen hardly any creativity,.


Anna Nicole Smith
To_Royal

Perez: OMG!! I didn't see this live because it was the Australia VMAs, but I remember it being all over the internet. She did a great job on the t-shirt, and on making it look like her dress was pulled down lol, I just wish she had thrown on a necklace because then it would have disguised the collar of the t-shirt, plus Anna has one on. But seriously hilarious moment to choose!
Dan: I love ANS, she was hilarious and I miss her antics a lot, the outfit is just hilarious and inventive and really out of the box, Dei must have given the idea a lot of thought and research to come up with this because as Perez said, it it's a hugely well known VMA moment. I love it, really well done.
Dei: Yeah :/ After I uploaded it I noticed I forgot a necklace but then I was like 'meh' and went on without it.
Jack: *sighs with relief* Finally, a good outfit! Dei did a great job with the layers and didn't go too over the top. I like how she used the top to make it look like she had her dress down too.


Nicki Minaj
To_Royal

Perez: Barbie Minaj!! Love her, love Dei, love the outfit!!! It's so fun and futuristic, Dei recreated this perfectly, down to the expression on her face and the highlights in her hair! I love how she layered the boots, I never liked those Fallen Angel thigh highs before but the way she put them together makes me want to go buy them.
Dan: Another top notch job, Dei. Perez pretty much summed up anything I could have said.
Dei: To be honest, I hate this because of how long it took me the effin' decide what kind of tops/bottoms to wear with this. Ugh.
Jack: If you had just left it at one outfit, that would have been okay, but I think this one looks kind of sloppy and you should have just submitted the Anna Nicole Smith look.

Heather

Perez: This wasn't a memorable outfit on Nicki, and it certainly isn't on you either chica =/
Dan: I kind of like it, the leotard is horrific but it's actually pretty similar to the outfit Nicki has on! I love the necklace, it looks lovely and layered quite well.
Dei: LOL, I never knew Stardoll sold doo-doo brown leotards. But I think this is a great match.
Jack: I'm sorry, I'm to distracted by Heather's awful excrement coloured camel toe.


Chelsea Handler
supa_star4real

Perez: LMAO, love it!! Me and my friends were laughing so hard at this, we love Chelsea! Awesome job on the top girl, I can tell it would have taken a long time to get right!
Dan: Great idea Debbie, this is actually really good and the top is well made.
Dei: LOL! I remember this, I am in love with this Debbie.
Jack: This is perfect! Gurl, you got skillz in Stardesign!


Lady Gaga
ashy_loves_you

Perez: This is absolutely exquisite, definitely my favorite of the three! The hat is awesome and the collar is gorgeous, and you can see he even put in the pink highlights that Gaga was sporting.
Dan: As Perez said this is probably the best of the three but I think vitalstatistick did the skirt better, the top half is beautiful no doubt but if this had have been teamed with the skirt below this outfit would have been absolutely stunning!
Dei: Has to be the best attempt at this outfit.
Jack: Wonderful! So elegant and beautiful, very well put together! You really did well adding on the little details which, in my opinion, really mattered.

TYLERCON, vitalstatistick, hailina4

Perez: I don't like Tylercon's, it's ill-fitting and the hat is ugly, but she did a pretty good job with the collar. Vital's skirt is awesome, that was a really good idea to layer it that way, it really mimics the pattern on Gaga's! I have a feeling I might be alone on this one, but I actually really like hailina's lol, it's a cool interpretation, I'm totes into it! :D:D
Dan: I really like vital's skirt as I stated above, it's a shame she didn't pay as much attention to the top half as she did the bottom, Tylercon's I actually don't mind, I agree the hat was maybe a little sloppy but the rest is actually very well put together and well layered, the only one I would not be able to place without a reference photo was hailina's. It's still really cute actually but not very similar to the outfit she was trying to recreate.
Dei: Tylercon's is a bit sloppy, but its the only one here that I would most likely know what it was without a reference photo. But vital's is the best out of this bunch to me. While hailina's doesn't look like the outfit at all.. but a good try.
Jack: What is even going on here?! All three of these guys went WAY too far and overdid it, their outfits look sloppy, un-organised and plain weird.


ForeverGorgeous

Perez: It was hard to choose, but she was my favorite of the red lace Gagas! I like the streamlined look of her outfit the most, and I love how she added the flowers to the pumps (you can see Gaga's in the next picture) and her Star Designed dress is perfect!
Dan: I agree with Perez, the shoes swung it.
Dei: I've always hated this outfit from Lady Gaga, but I love how perfect her recreation is.
Jack: It looks cool, but for some reason I'm not really feeling it, I think it's the dodgy veil and there were plenty more hairstyles she could have used that were more accurate.


TYLERCON ~ ashy_loves_you

Perez: Like I said, it was hard to choose my favorite because all three were so good, though Tyler's is a little sloppy, the top is layered in a really unflattering way, but her train is really good, and the visible panties are a part of the look they just don't work as well in Tyler's outfit. I love Ashton's, he's like a preppy superhero version of this look! :D:D
Dan: The thong showing through made me laugh, I'm immature but how could you not? I think both are perfectly well made and look very much like Gaga's outfit which is great, amazing job guys and nice attention to detail, it makes the difference.
Dei: I don't like how I can see Tylercon's thong.. but thats about it.
Jack: I'm so confused by these, they look a mess, although ashy_loves_you's looks okay, it kind of  looks a bit too heavy, and there's not enough lace.



PerezStarGossip

Dan: I hated Gaga's meat dress, I think she was stupid to wear it because it completely flew the the face of the message she claimed she wore it for, although I highly doubt she cared what the message was, she just wanted to go for the shock factor for some press attention. Never the less I think Perez did a good job recreating the look, the necklace is really cute and really reminiscent of the one Gaga wears in the real picture.
Dei: Only Perez could ever rock a meat dress on Stardoll and get away with it. LOL
Perez: I kept waiting for someone else to do the meat dress and when the weekend rolled around and still no one did I knew I had to! It was definitely a "moment"! I agree with Dan though, it was a little obnoxious.
Jack: I literally let out a tiny squeal when I saw this, it was awesome. The tights were kind of unnecessary and I think the couch cushions (?) on your head and hand look slightly awkard, nevertheless it was a great idea and I'm surprised no one else did it too.

ashy_loves_you


Dei: Eh, I like the creativity, but not the outfit.
Jack: The outfit looks really rushed and inaccurate, no thank you.
Perez: LOVE IT!! He is a parade of Gaga for this list and every look is amazing! As a recreation of Gaga's look it's awesome, but just as an outfit it's great I love the random futuristic/flapper/Little House on the Prairie vibe, and the nest headpiece is awesome!
Dan:


Jo Calderone
hailina4

Perez: She didn't submit this for the list but when I went to check her other Gaga outfit in her album she was wearing this and I couldn't resist! Such a brilliant performance by "Jo", I absolutely loved it! Not sure what's going on with hailina's crazy tribal alien eyes, but like I said she didn't submit this so maybe something else is going on here..
Dei: The face scares me.. :<
Jack: I agree with Dei, the face is quite distracting and I don't really get the outfit.

Britney Spears
punkyfish2007

Perez: Best Brit Brit in my opinion! The face is gorgeous, and I love how she made her doll's hips wider to best recreate Britney post all the binge drinking/eating/general not taking care of herself that led to this clusterfuck of a performance. It was a scary time for Britney fans!
Dei: Simple yet perfect. I love ya Gabs'.
Jack: A very simple outfit, thus it doesn't excite me nor do I have much to say about it.


LipGlossStar9

Dei: The boobs here scare me a bit.. but I am not loving all of the snow flakes.
Perez: I actually like the snowflakes to make it more glittery/sequined, but yeah its weird how your top half is bigger than your bottom half, though I know plenty of girls are built that way unfortunately the way Stardoll designed it makes people's dolls look ridiculous. Overall the outfit is good, great hair, but I like Punky's better.
Jack: She looks like a Christmas themed hooker, nuff said.


vitalstatistick

Dei: Oh my gosh, this is one of my favorite Britney outfits of all time! I love this!
Perez: Agreed, love this look and you nailed it!! It's perfect down to the littlest of details like the wrap around the waist to recreate the lacy bit on Britney's skirt. Great job!
Jack: AWESOME. Nailed every detail! Damn girl, I'm impressed, best Britney outfit of the night.


P!nk
Welsh_witch

Dei: Lmao, Rhiann, this is perfect, I wish you have some funky coat with it though.
Perez: HOT!! This look is so much fun! And it's pretty much perfect, she mentioned she did have a fur coat on at first but it covered too much of the outfit. I really like the shoes and how she layered the necklaces as the belt, and of course the hair! She always looks awesome!
Jack: Haha, this is kind of cool, but I'm not really sure about it, something puts me off a little.

Gwen Stefani
Welsh_witch

Dei: Old Gwen Stefani! I almost forgot she use to be like that. A great example of the 90's AND old Gwen.
Perez: I love this outfit!! I remember when those platform flip flops were really popular! I love high-fashion Harajuki Gwen, but I do miss the random quirky Gwen of the 90's =/
Jack: I prefer this one to your P!nk outfit, it's more accurate and fun, you did a great job with the hair and the bottoms.

Macy Gray
liajm

Dei: OMG! I was so close to doing this look too! Glad I didn't, Lia looks awesomely hilarious here.
Perez: LOL!! Epic! I'm so glad someone did this look and totally rocked it!! Adding the skirt just below the t-shirt to give it that lacey bell-sleeved look was genius.
Jack: BWAHAHAH! Lia looks amazing and she totally recreated this outfit so well!


Hayley Williams
freeduck_

Dei: I feel like this is missing something. But the look is pretty much aced like that, but meh. I never liked Hayley's style.
Perez: I love this!! It's so cute and the little bowtie is great, this is totally something I would have worn to Homecoming lol. Love Jack's recreation, he looks so cool :):)
Jack: Thanks for the kind words you guys! I know this wasn't "iconic" but Hayley is one of my fave people on the planet and instead of just doing a look someone else had already done, or one that I didn't really care about, I put together this outfit, which I think rocked :D

Cher
kitkat91011

Dei: I was close to doing this one too! But she beat me to it, hah. And looks pretty awesome like this.
Perez: LOVE Cher!! This was pretty much exactly the same look she rocked in her "If I Could Turn Back Time" music video back in 1989, and here she is over 20 years later and she looks just as good if not better! Love this outfit, love that kitkat chose it, she looks awesome! The Star Designed top and the boots are perfect, and I love her hair and make-up!
Jack: Some bigger hair would have made this one a killer. I love it and I love Cher!


Fiona Apple
Hunnigall


Perez: "This world is bullshit." I remember seeing that speech on a clip show for Top however-many Most Shocking VMA Moments, and they were pretty much making fun of her about it, but it really resonated with me then and still does. A comment for the youtube video sums it up perfectly, "her speech was like witnessing a glitch in the matrix. she was dismissed in all of the tabloids, but a lot of us were listening. a lot of us NEEDED her to say what she said. we needed our peers in our generation to hear it." I think that's even more true now. Needless to say, it was most definitely an iconic moment, and Alice did it justice with her ensemble, she looks lovely :):)
Dei:That speech was gold, and so is this outfit.
Jack: I've never heard of the speech in question, but I still think this outfit rocks, and Alice didn't fail to amaze me.


Rihanna
To_Royal


Dei: Before the beatdown.
Perez: Oh snap!!  People are probably bored of me raving about Dei every week, but she really kills it every time! She knows how to put together a great outfit, anyone that's ever visited her knows that, but with these costumes she creates a mood with her facial expressions, hair and make-up, and unique accessories that always sets her apart from everyone else. And her Chris Brown is tres chic!
Jack: Oh my, this is H-A-W-T. Dei nailed this! I just want to stare at it forever.


Cheekychops1234

Dei: I actually really enjoy the funky blazer a lot, and the shoes are dead on. But the lips are a bit.. much?
Jack: No. I'm sorry, but just...no. If you put this against Dei's, it's like putting Janice Dickinson next to Tyra Banks, one is just messy and slutty where as the other is high fashion and fun.
Perez: This is a great outfit, I especially love the stockings with it, and the jacket is really cool, it doesn't match the photo exactly, it adds a little somethin-somethin! Love it girl!


JazzyPants381

Dei: Hmm.. I don't like it.
Jack: Excuse me, but what are you even doing?! I just...why would you even want this to happen?!
Perez: I guess I'm alone on this one cuz I thought she was definitely the best Rihanna of the three that chose this look! Her top especially, I think it's super cute, and her skirt was the best imho, you looked great! 

TrixieDeeLight ~ Cheekychops123


Dei: I love Cheekychops's! Its right the the nail. While Trixie's is a tad.. off.
Jack: Neither of these even look like the actual outfit, nor do they look like a unique interpretation of it.
Perez: Okay Blake's outfit obvs doesn't match Rihanna's much, but I actually like it as its own thing. It looks good on him! Cheeky looks great as well!


Madonna
loveshorses5

Dei: Fierce.
Perez: Epic old-school Madonna awesomeness!!! The outfit KILLS it's soooo good, love the hair and make-up, you've captured this perfectly!! As usual, Mairin can do no wrong! :D:D
Jack: I'm not really sure about this, the top half looks a little overdone and so does the bottom half to some extent. The lipstick is way off and a fewer minor adjustments could have made this look so much better.

punkyfish2007

Dei: A bit too plain. Needs more puhzaz.
Perez: Agreed, not loving this. The outfit is nicely put-together, but it just lacks the Madonna flair and HOT-factor that is what makes this outfit iconic. I think maybe it's the hair and make-up that's off? Anyway, I love her username she always makes me think of Punky Brewster! :D:D
Jack: Wait, what? This is meant to be the Madonna outfit?! FAIL. Harsh, I know, but very true. It's shit.


shoxsanam

Dei: I am hating that PPQ jacket for this, and the hat isn't the greatest match for this look either.
Jack: Why the umbrella? And why did you substitute a top hat with a fedora? WHY, WOMAN, WHY?!
Perez: I agree that it needed the top hat, but maybe it's not available in the Starplaza anymore? I like the boots she chose and how she layered the tops, even though they don't match Madonna at all. I'm confused about the umbrella too, but overall I think she looks good.


Marcela

Dei: I'm guessing this is after Madonna took off her jacket, a little boring but I do love the mannequins. Lovely touch.
Jack: I once again agree with Dei, looks a little boring but the mannequins do look nice and it's cute that she put the effort in to make three outfits.
Perez: Me too I love that she used the mannequins to give it some context and she really got all the details of the outfit, she did a great job setting the mood!


Anonymous

Dei: Cute.
Perez: I really like the styling of this, the hair and make-up is great, and Madonna's VMA Vogue performance was epic so this is a great look to choose!
Jack: Ummm...what?


Katy Perry
biancaloves

Dei: Not another person with those lips, I'm sorry but it makes me think they are giving a blow job.
Perez: I really like this a lot, it was super creative to use the decor wall print as the top and I think she even has some blue highlights in there! I remember thinking Katy looked like a figure skater in this. Didn't love it, but to me it was memorable. I agree with Dei about the lips though, they don't look good on anyone unless they're wearing them ironically lol.
Jack: It was a really creative touch to use decor items as the upper part of the top and I like it alot! A few highlights could have added some KP appeal to this, though.


Coco Rocha
-LimitedEdition

Dei: Aww, j'dore this dress, it shows that he put a lot of work into this and it looks flawless.
Perez: I do love the dress, it's absolutely gorgeous, but just as with Heather's Nicki Minaj look, it just wasn't memorable so to me it's not an iconic moment. But it would be impossible not to love this dress regardless, it's stunning.
Jack: Looks really pretty and elegant. Almost flawless, even. Great job Z!
