It's hard to believe how much Taylor's style has transformed in the past 5 years. (Reminder: This is what she wore to the music show in 2015!)

It's not that surprising that Pink won an award at her first BBMAs. But her rainbow pixie cut was definitely a bit shocking.

Janet was a big winner at the first ever BBMAs. She also was also a big source of fitspo (look. at. those. abs.).

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.)

If Kim Kardashian West could track down this choker, she'd definitely wear it. In fact, she'd probably wear Cher's entire look.

The icon's debut eponymous album was topping the charts in 1991 and so was her sexy style.

We have a feeling the lavender beaded gown and white shawl combo was a very popular prom look in 1999 thanks to Brit.

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!)

1999 was a great year for Mandy. “Candy” was topping the billboard charts and her sunkissed highlights were a dream.

Xtina was in her peak “Genie in a Bottle” days, and she also hit her crop-top-wearing stride.

The trio (Wendy Wilson, Chynna Phillips and Carnie Wilson) attended the very first BBMAs in coordinating looks and very '90s hair.
