So here is a solution from which one can easily use winamp classic skin onto the VLC media player:

Launch the VLC Player and go to Settings > Switch Interface > Skins 2, as displayed in the below picture

This skin looks a little modern.

Choose Select Skin (by right clicking on to the empty space in the player window), and hit on Open Skin.

Now go to to the location-folder where the winamp classic themes are placed on your PC, and select an appropriate skin

Now the VLC Media Player will have a brand new look. You can adopt the same procedure to select different skins.
