The world of pop and beyond is divided into a before and after of the arrival of Britney Spears. In fact, the American singer is one of those icons capable of centralizing attention and writing pages of history in both music and fashion.
For example, it’s impossible not to remember Spears’s much-talked-about, total denim couple look, sported with then-partner Justin Timberlake, which she wore for the 2001 American Music Awards. The couple, who were together from 1999 to 2002, drove everyone crazy when they arrived on the red carpet with their matching outfits.
So, of course, in her new memoir The Woman in Me, Spears had to share a few more details about the event.
“In the South, moms love to gather the kids together and say, ‘Listen, we’re going to go to church today and coordinate all the colors,’” the Toxic singer writes. “That’s what I did when Justin and I attended the 2001 American Music Awards, which I hosted with LL Cool J.”
Here’s Britney Spears arriving wearing the Kurt and Bart designer strapless dress (complete with matching handbag) with Timberlake in the denim jacket and pants suit and even a denim cowboy hat.
