The 19 Craziest Teen Choice Awards Outfits Ever

While the Teen Choice Awards may not be known as a must-watch red carpet event — most celebs stick to somewhat modest clothing befitting of a younger audience — there have, to my surprise, been more than a handful of quirky costumes at the TCAs. The craziest Teen Choice Awards outfits, while relatively tame in comparison to an MTV awards show, for instance, are just zany enough in their own right to be a must-see. And, in true fashion writer style, I have rounded up the 19 craziest, zaniest, and funkiest outfits of TCAs history.

When I think Teen Choice Awards, young and talented are just a couple of words that come to mind. However, after looking at the red carpets of TCAs past, I can’t help but think that fresh and funky are necessary additions. From early 2000s trends like dresses over jeans to pink neck ties and leather bodysuits, the TCA red carpet is anything but conservative.

If you enjoy a red carpet roundup and plan to check out the TCAs on Jul. 31, or if you are just looking for a celebrity flashback, then go on and have a scroll through the craziest looks that have graced the Teen Choice Awards’ red carpet to date.

1. Paris Hilton

I think Paris Hilton got the TCAs confused with the ACMs.

2. *NSYNC

You can always count on boy bands for some fun awards show attire.

3. Hilary Duff

Hilary Duff's dress is giving me flashbacks to my first middle school dance.

4. Demi Lovato

Demi Lovato was working it with her high platforms and super long pony.

5. The Janoskians

I'm not quite sure, but I think The Janoskians were wearing scuba suits.

6. Rebel Wilson

I think scuba suits might be a thing at the TCAs.

7. Hayley Williams

Paramore's Hayley Williams was rocking co-ords before they were in style.

8. The Black Eyed Peas

In true Black Eyed Peas fashion, the group was doing it all.

9. Ashlee Simpson

Ashlee Simpson was the epitome of early 2000s fashion in this low-slung skirt.

10. Tyra Banks

Leave it to Tyra Banks to bring the sexy to the TCAs.

11. Chad Michael Murray

Pink on pink FTW.

12. Britney Spears

Britney Spears looked like a pop princess mermaid in her glittery frock and multicolored hair.

13. Lil Mama

Lil Mama was both sweet and sassy in this frilly jeans combo.

14. Jessica Alba

Here, Alba rocked the early 2000s favorite: A dress over jeans.

15. Kim Kardashian

Kim K looked retro in this sweet strapless number.

16. Jason Derulo

Jason Derulo's metallic tux was eye catching.

17. Mischa Barton

Early 2000s "It Girl" Mischa Barton rocked a colorful patchwork dress and sandals.

18. Aaron & Nick Carter

It looks like the Carter boys were going for pirate chic.

19. Gwen Stefani

Gwen Stefani was both pretty and punk as per usual.

Hopefully this year's TCAs will be just as funky and fresh as those that have come before it.
