It's Aug. 30, 2006. Mark Wahlberg and Greg Kinnear are ruling the silver screen as Invincible takes #1 at the box office. Fergie's annoyingly catchy "London Bridge" is the hottest song in the country, while Rick Ross' Port of Miami is the top album. Vice President Dick Cheney had just shot his buddy while hunting, Britney Spears and K-Fed were freshly split and Facebook finally gave public access to anyone with a valid e-mail address.

Meanwhile, in the heart of New York City, friends and collaborators Pharrell Williams and Kanye West shared the red carpet for a pre-MTV Video Music Awards party hosted by Williams and Absolut. The style icons surely had plans for the big show, and didn't disappoint with the threads on this night.

Together, they're not only the powerhouse design duo helping to put adidas back on the the style map right now, but unquestionably the two most influential people in urban fashion for the past decade, minimum. Though they've both evolved, their respective looks from the past continue to inspire today's trends. Hover over the photo tags below for a breakdown of their red carpet fashion from 10 years ago.
