Lifestyle Style Fashion Flashback! The Billboard Music Awards Dresses You Need to See All Over Again Taylor Swift's girlie gown. Janet Jackson's bustier. Destiny's Child matching dresses. We're throwing it back (way back!) and revisiting what your favorite music stars wore the first time they attended the BBMAs By Brittany Talarico Brittany Talarico Brittany Talarico is PEOPLE's Deputy Style Director, where she oversees the brand's digital Style and Beauty coverage. This includes running lead on the Met Gala, which is among PEOPLE.com's top-trafficked red carpet events every year, interviewing the industry's top influencers (including all the Kardashian-Jenners), and breaking A-list celeb news (a New Jersey shore native, it is no surprise that her favorite interview ever was with Bruce Springsteen).

(Reminder: This is what she wore to the music show in 2015!) 02 of 15 PINK, 2000 Getty It's not that surprising that Pink won an award at her first BBMAs. But her rainbow pixie cut was definitely a bit shocking. 03 of 15 RIHANNA, 2006 Ethan Miller/Getty Rih always knew how to rock a super-low plunge on the red carpet. 04 of 15 DESTINY'S CHILD, 2000 Frank Trapper/Corbis/Getty The trio had everyone jumpin', jumpin' when they hit the red carpet. 05 of 15 MILEY CYRUS, 2012 Frazer Harrison/Getty Miley's white menswear-inspired mini was tame next to that Bumpit teased hair look. 06 of 15 JANET JACKSON, 1990 Ron Galella/WireImage Janet was a big winner at the first ever BBMAs. She also was also a big source of fitspo (look. at. those. abs.). 07 of 15 FERGIE, 1998 Jim Smeal/WireImage Before her Black Eyed Peas days, Fergie was in an all girl group called Wild Orchid alongside singers Stefanie Ridel and Renee Sandstrom. (She also wore pants more often.) 08 of 15 CHER, 1998 Frank Trapper/Corbis/Getty If Kim Kardashian West could track down this choker, she'd definitely wear it. In fact, she'd probably wear Cher's entire look. 09 of 15 MARIAH CAREY, 1991 Ron Galella/WireImage The icon's debut eponymous album was topping the charts in 1991 and so was her sexy style. 10 of 15 BRITNEY SPEARS, 1999 Jim Smeal/WireImage We have a feeling the lavender beaded gown and white shawl combo was a very popular prom look in 1999 thanks to Brit. 11 of 15 NO DOUBT, 1997 Frank Trapper/Corbis/Getty Gwen's outfit might have been all business, but her beauty look was party-ready. 12 of 15 KATY PERRY, 2005 Jason Merritt/FilmMagic Wait for it … the singer was actually listed as “a guest” of actor Johnny Lewis at the 2005 show. (“I Kissed a Girl” wasn't released until 2008!) 13 of 15 MANDY MOORE, 1999 Jim Smeal/WireImage 1999 was a great year for Mandy. “Candy” was topping the billboard charts and her sunkissed highlights were a dream. 14 of 15 CHRISTINA AGUILERA, 1999 Steve Granitz/WireImag Xtina was in her peak “Genie in a Bottle” days, and she also hit her crop-top-wearing stride. 15 of 15 WILSON PHILLIPS, 1990 Ron Galella/WireImage The trio (Wendy Wilson, Chynna Phillips and Carnie Wilson) attended the very first BBMAs in coordinating looks and very '90s hair.
