Alyson Stoner from Missy Elliott's 'Work It' video joins her at the VMAs, crushes it
Still working it after all these years, Alyson Stoner stepped up to the plate Monday night at the VMAs, joining Missy Elliott for a reunion onstage.
The professional dancer is often remembered as the talented girl from the "Work It" video, and, now 26 years old, she's all grown up -- and certainly still has those fierce moves.
For her big dance number, Stoner wore a yellow track suit, similar to the red one she wore back in 2002.
Twitter was very excited about her return.
Black Girl Nerds wrote, "If you don’t know who Alyson Stoner is.... you’re too young. This was epic."
Another fan added, "MISSY ELLIOT HAD ALYSON STONER PERFORM WORK IT WITH HER I CANNOT LEGENDARY! #MTVVMAs #VMAs."
A few years ago, Stoner spoke to BuzzFeed about her life now and her childhood fame.
Stoner said that "when Missy comes on the radio or in public, I immediately pause, feel so sentimental, and start replaying memories in my head."
She also revealed her favorite video of Missy's that she danced in was in fact "Work It."
"My favorite video to film was 'Work It' because it began the incredible road ahead. Missy was protective and thoughtful of us kids, removing us from the mature scenes and using the clean version when we filmed," she added.
