The 2000 VH-1/Vogue Fashion Awards were hosted by Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen and actor Cuba Gooding Jr., and full of surprises. Designer John Galliano rocked the runway with his Indian headdress getup. Music superstars Destiny’s Child, Kid Rock and Lenny Kravitz made live performances.
Hollywood gals Uma Thurman, Renee Zellweger and Jennifer Lopez (the Versace Award winner) were resplendent. One notable pleasant surprise was seeing Stella McCartney, who won Designer of the Year, receive the award from her famous father, former Beatle Paul McCartney.

Heather Locklear awed viewers in 1999, as she changed her outfit during each and every commercial break. Rap mogul Puff Daddy, co-hosted, but nobody was looking at him. Beck, Foo Fighters and Jennifer Lopez performed. Among the celebrity presenters at the event were Cindy Crawford, Rupert Everett, Matt LeBlanc and Charlize Theron.
1998
Music was certainly the reason 1998’s incarnation holds the title as “most watched,” with its premiere and encore seen by 36 million households, a 24% increase from the previous year. Madonna, Janet Jackson, the Smashing Pumpkins, the Goo Goo Dolls and Lenny Kravitz and Iggy Pop‘s duet of David Bowie‘s classic “Rebel Rebel” rocked the runways of New York City.
Naomi Campbell, Matt Dillon, Chris Issak, and Tyra Banks were among the presenters and Sting and Donatella Versace, sister of late designer Gianni Versace, presented Madonna with the coveted Versace Award.
1997
Jim Carrey strolling down the runway wearing just a fig leaf over his groin area in the 1997 VH-1 Fashion Awards show was the defining moment from that year’s show.
Hosted by Harry Cornick Jr., and Ashley Judd, the show included appearances by Mariah Carey, Claudia Schiffer, RuPaul and Sarah Jessica Parker. Fiona Apple, Jamiroquai, En Vogue, ZZ Top and The Rolling Stones served as musical guests.
1996
Jean Paul Gaultier, Herb Ritts, Iman, and Stephanie Seymour were only some of the celebrities present at the inaugural ceremony.
Bryan Adams earned the Most Stylish Music Video Award, as he featured a fashion show in his video “The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me Is You.” And proving that she can be a fashion diva as well as a glam rocker, Courtney Love won the Best Female Personal Style Award.
