Katy Perry and Riff Raff walked the MTV Video Music Awards red carpet in matching denim outfits as an ode to Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake.
Perry and Riff Raff, who appears on the remix of her song “This Is How We Do,” arrived at Sunday’s MTV VMAs in a Lamborghini and immediately caught everyone’s attention in their all-denim outfits.
Perry wore a strapless, floor length, studded denim dress, accessorized with a silver choker, and Riff Raff matched his pop star date in a studded denim suit.

Riff Raff, who was clearly Perry’s plus one, excitedly announced that the duo were wearing Versace, but, unlike his date, he didn’t feel the need to credit Spears or Timberlake for inspiring his outfit.
