Britney Spears Says This Iconic Look Is the Perfect Couples Halloween Costume

Yes, but whose idea was it? Obviously hers.

“I still couldn't believe that Justin would wear jeans,” Spears writes, “and I said, ‘We should match! Let’s do denim on denim!’”

Although Spears’s comment was just a joke, eventually everyone decided to take it seriously.

“I didn’t think my stylist would actually do it, and I never thought Justin would do it with me. But they both went all in,” she writes.

She adds: “I understand that it might have looked tacky, but it was also pretty awesome in its own way, and I’m always happy to see it parodied as a Halloween costume.”

The look is now a popular Halloween costume, and even celebrities have copied the iconic look, such as Katy Perry and Riff Raff at the 2014 VMAs.

Ugly or beautiful, tacky or not, it doesn’t matter.

In the end what remains is that Spears and Timberlake’s coordinated ensemble, years later, is one of the most iconic fits ever, which, to this day, never ceases to influence.
