The 2016 Billboard Music Awards mark an important night for Britney Spears. The pop supernova is being honored with the Millennium Award tonight for her timeless contribution to music. For the momentous occasion, it makes perfect sense that she'd pay homage to...herself in an outfit that harkens back to her iconic Dolce & Gabbana look at the 2001 VMAs look.

But this time around, Britney accessorized with the trendiest shoe of the summer: a thigh-high boot. Her bold footwear not only defies gravity, it goes brilliantly with her high-low hem and flowing train.

If Britney's red carpet look (designed by Reem Acra!) is this amazing, we can't wait to see what she wears onstage. We're sure lots of lace will be involved.
