Star Wars. It's not really a sexy movie, but try telling that to a bunch of geeks.

Alright, alright. We'll concede Leia's slave outfit produced a lot of first boners, and every woman wishes she could look so regal in bondage. But Darth Maul with boobs? That's just terrifying.

At least Yoda's a master of amazing Jedi party tricks. Like undoing a sexy stormtrooper's bra with one flick of his lightsaber.

What's the one place on Earth so magical that you can see titties, butt cheeks, and creepy man-horses, all while wearing the contents of a sixth-grade girl's friendship bracelet box?

That's right! Ultra Music Festival, the land to which people from all over the world travel to show off their freshly tanned skin and color coordination, and weekend one saw lots of risky moves pulled off on both the dance floor and the runway.

Well, there isn't really a runway. It's more like a clusterfuck of rainbow insanity on a garbage-strewn grassy field. But who can even tell the difference?

Did you feel that sonic wave burst through the city this weekend? It felt like some kind of tween-wave terror bomb, but it was just the collective scream of every hopeful heart in the tri-county area.

Justin Bieber brought his swaggy self to the American Airlines Arena, and the kids came out in their very best Belieber getups to show some undying love and support.

The Biebz also brought the heat with some super-Miami looks. Check the cut for Crossfade's fashion freakouts from the Believe Tour.

Holy Ship!!

It's been mere days since that rager returned to Port Everglades, but we can't get the memories to stop looping through our heads.

What an ass-clapping good time ... All the great DJs, the run-ins with our idols, the slutty girls walking around with almost nothing on besides promotional pasties. Can we go back now, please?

Sadly, there's still another 360 days until the 2014 voyage. So until then, we'll just have to take a look at these pics of the freakiest, funkiest, and just plain best of the weirdest fashions the high seas have seen since ... Well, since Holy Ship! The Maiden Voyage.

Yes, this happened.

Most people we met on the S.S. Coachella had never been on a cruise. Like us, they were probably not so sure what to pack or how to dress for three days of awkwardly saying "Hi!" to their favorite bands on a floating building at sea.

But like the festival, the fans also brought their crazy desert style to the high seas with a range of results.

We could sit here and talk about all the "types" of people who sailed out to Nassau. But really, we'd rather just show you.

These are the top ten fashion moments from the maiden voyage of the S.S. Coachella. Get ready to raise your eyebrows.

O'Grime's L.Rey!

Another Art Basel Miami Beach week has come and gone.

But while we definitely got our art on and loved every awesome musical act, we couldn't stop staring at what all those fancy motherfuckers were wearing!

What can we say, we here at Crossfade are somewhat shallow. So we headed out to one of the weekend's hippest functions, armed with a camera in search of some awesome get-ups.

Oh, Basel Castle, you're a stylish bitch.

Ravers usually dress pretty cray. But ravers on Halloween really know what they're doing.

We here at Crossfade went to Back in Black at Club Space this weekend. And though we were totally impressed by the awesome DJs and supercool laser lights, it was all the great costumes that really blew us away. Y'all really got into it, and it looks like you made most of those wacky getups yourselves.

Don't just take our word for it, look at these beautiful people!

The red carpet is where fashion lives, and the MTV Video Music Awards are where people let their freak flags fly. Put the two together, and you're sure to get some unforgettable ensembles.

This year, most attendees came out with a touch of class, a bit of sparkle, and a lot of monochrome. But there were still isolated incidents of feathers, animal print, and what-the-fuck-is-that-bitch-wearing.

Behold! The greatest fashion freakouts of the 2012 MTV VMAs!

See Crossfade's "Best of the 2012 Gathering of the Juggalos" slideshow.

The Gathering of the Juggalos is a cultural mecca for Middle American freaks.

Now, the FBI may consider Insane Clown Posse and their Faygo-soaked followers to be a gang. But that just eems like a shitty attempt by the Feds to snap the ugly, crooked backbone of this great nation.

The fact is Juggalos keep it real. And that level of realness might scare some people. (Mostly because it's hard to look at.) But we here at Crossfade salute these true American heroes.

Let's celebrate the beauty of The Clown by taking a closer look at the top ten Fashion Freakouts at this year's Gathering.

We're getting used to ravers dressed like candy-coated, rainbow-drenched, half-naked furries.

Still, the crowd at Bayfront Park's Klipsch Amphitheater for Identity Festival really upped the ante.

While some stuck to the old rave faves, some brazen girls and guys wore their drugs on their sleeve and their sex drives on their faces. We saw more kandi-clogged arms than ever, and certain special ladies rocked strategically-placed rhinestones.

So feast your eyes ... These are Crossfade's Fashion Freakouts at Identity Festival 2012 in Miami.
