Britney Bares All: The Pop Icon\u2019s Most Revealing Fashion Moments<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Britney Spears has never pretended to be part of the celebrity fashion inner circle. \u201cI never knew how to play the game. I didn\u2019t know how to present myself on any level. I was a bad dresser – hell, I\u2019m still a bad dresser,\u201d the pop icon writes in her new bombshell memoir, The Woman in Me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But throughout the book\u2019s pages, Spears\u2019 fashion moments reveal so much more than meets the eye. Her style choices illustrate the memoir\u2019s central themes – control, freedom, conformity, and self-expression. From her breakout denim look with Justin Timberlake to her innate bond with snakes, Spears\u2019 fashion sensibility has always spoken volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the aftermath of her painful breakup with Timberlake, Spears spent time recovering in New York. Confined in Cher\u2019s former Noho apartment, her rare nights out provided a dose of freedom. \u201cOne night I put on a $129 Bebe dress and high heels, and my cousin took me to a sexy underground club with low ceilings and red walls. I took a couple hits from a joint, my first time smoking pot. Later, I walked all the way home so I could take in the city, breaking one of my heels along the way,\u201d she reveals. A glitzy dress and broken heel capture her fleeting taste of independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps no look is more iconic than the matching denim ensemble Spears and Timberlake wore to the 2001 American Music Awards. The pop star explains she drew inspiration from Southern church traditions of mothers dressing their kids in matching outfits. \u201cAt first, honestly, I thought it was a joke. I didn\u2019t think my stylist was actually going to do it, and I never though Justin was going to do it with me. But they both went all in,\u201d she admits. \u201cI\u2019m always happy to see it parodied as a Halloween costume. I\u2019ve heard Justin get flak for the look.\u201d In matching Timberlake in denim, Spears challenged fashion norms in her own subtle, subversive way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spears\u2019 legendary snake performance at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards was a defining fashion moment. \u201cWhat nobody knows is that as I was singing, the snake brought its head right around to my face, right up to me, and started hissing at me. You didn\u2019t see that shot on TV, but in real life? I was thinking, \u2018Are you f***ing serious right now?\u2019\u201d While the python’s hiss rattled Spears, she didn\u2019t let her fear show. The allure of a bare-shouldered Spears with a snake across her shoulders encapsulated the allure and danger of the pop star image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Spears still uses fashion as self-expression, regularly posting Instagram outfits and dances. \u201cI know a lot of people feel like I should stop posting my looks or my little dance routines…But you know what? I\u2019m not gonna stop,\u201d she asserts. \u201cThis is who I am. This makes me happy. And free.\u201d From denim to diamonds, snakeskin to sequins, Spears\u2019 style will always tell her story, on her own terms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
