The "Diet Pepsi" singer strutted down the red carpet at New York's UBS Arena on Sept. 11 in an all-white lingerie ensemble reminiscent of Madonna's 1984 VMAs performance — and the Queen of Pop's iconic 2003 recreation of the moment with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. "This ole thing? This is Miss Claire Sullivan, and it’s custom," Rae, 23, told MTV in an interview on the red carpet of the look: a white bra adorned with feathers, matching panties and a voluminous tulle skirt with more feathers.
