PHOTOS Britney Spears responds to Katy Perry’s denim dress
In most cases, red carpets allow celebrities and/or designers to show how they are propelling fashion forward. But, at the 2014 MTV VMAs, Riff Raff and Katy Perry’s denim-dominated nod to Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake was arguably the most talked about look of the night.
Katy teased the epic blast-from-the-past looks earlier in the day by saying they were aiming for “da best worst dressed.” She later added of the custom Versace attire…
I must admit my outfit is a result of my love for nostalgia and my tumblr addiction #THISISHOWWEDOVMAS

Although the plan was probably in motion for weeks leading up to the event, Britney (knowingly?) played to Katy’s hand earlier in the weekend after Katy complimented her Woody Woodchuck impression. Britney then challenged Katy to do her own impression…
@katyperry You're up next. #Noexcuses. You have 24 hours to do your best impression.

About 45 hours later, Katy debuted her Britney impression at the VMAs!
