Justin Timberlake recently opened up to singer John Legend and more about the one outfit he wish he could forget.

The <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/gen-z-y2k-millennial-90s-fashion-nostalgia" target="_blank">2000s</a> were a simpler time&mdash;music was dominated by boybands, tabloids&nbsp;were covered by <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/kim-kardashian-assistant-paris-hilton-2000s-skims-instagram" target="_blank">Paris Hilton</a>, and, unfortunately for <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/justin-timberlake-is-back-and-he-s-returning-to-his-roots" target="_blank">Justin Timberlake</a>,&nbsp;fashion was marked by an unforgettable 2001 <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/britney-spears-y2k-fashion-juicy-tracksuit" target="_blank">denim on denim</a> ensemble he shared with then-girlfriend <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/framing-britney-spears-new-documentary-hulu" target="_blank">Britney Spears</a>. The legacy of the denim cowboy outfit lives on in Halloween costumes, pop culture, and, of course, the Internet. In a recent roundtable interview for <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/features/songwriter-roundtable-justin-timberlake-mary-j-blige-janelle-monae-and-more-hitmakers-share-pandemic-reflections-and-keeping-hope-alive-in-2021" target="_blank">The Hollywood Reporter</a>, the singer spoke candidly about how he looks back on&nbsp;his early <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/oscars-2020-red-carpet-looks" target="_blank">red carpet</a> style.

&quot;I confess that there was maybe a period in the &rsquo;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/90s-outfits-celebrity-fashion-making-comeback" target="_blank">90s</a> where I could skip over some of the outfits that were public, but the internet will never,&quot; says the Palmer actor.

Fellow panelist <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/janelle-monae-speaks-out-on-her-sexuality" target="_blank">Janelle Mon&agrave;e</a> assures Timberlake that those looks were &quot;too iconic,&quot; before friend and singer <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/how-to-wear-turtleneck-celebrities-fall" target="_blank">John Legend</a> interrupts to reference&nbsp;the signature look directly, saying, &quot;Denim on denim on denim on denim&mdash;that will never be forgotten!&quot;

&ldquo;Thanks, John,&rdquo; replies&nbsp;an embarrassed Timberlake. &ldquo;Uh, no, the internet won&rsquo;t allow me to forget them. So it&rsquo;s all good.&rdquo;

The interview also featured songwriters Leslie Odom Jr. and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/mary-j-blige-songs-fashion-music-videos" target="_blank">Mary J. Blige</a> in coversation about the future of music during such a tumultuous time.
