See how the stars lined up on the MTV Video Music Awards red carpet
Katy Perry popped out of a sports car with rapper Riff Raff onto the red carpet just before the televised awards began. She called her tight, studded patchwork denim dress a custom Versace in a “throwback to Britney and Justin,” a la the American Music Awards 13 years ago.
Amber Rose, who is married to Wiz Khalifa, went for a Vegas showgirl moment, her chest barely covered with loose loops down to a tiny bikini bottom. The look evoked McGowan oh-so-many years ago.
Ariana Grande upped her sex appeal with an ooh-la-la black leather mini and matching thigh-high boots but kept the signature girly high ponytail. The 21-year-old Grande worked long zippers back and front on her strapless Moschino moto look.
British pop singer Charli XCX wore a yellow tiger-print leotard. Charli’s tight leotard and leggings were designed by the same Italian brand.
Designer Jeremy Scott joined Charli in her yellow, yellow world in bright tuxedo tails – chest bared – with a big smiley face on the back.
Kesha, sometimes a red carpet shocker, went classic in a floor-length sparkler in a far more subdued carpet than VMAs of yore.
Taylor Swift arrived in a long-sleeve, blue lace shorty romper with a lettered alphabet theme to go with her new short ‘do. It was designed by London-based Mary Katrantzou.
Laverne Cox was in sparkly blue, a space-age one-sleeve from Marc Bouwer.
Miley Cyrus tugged on a tiny strapless black leather midriff-baring top she wore with high-waisted matching trousers.
Jessie J stood out in a pale green vintage Halston goddess gown with a deep V halter.
Jennifer Lopez showed off her curves in silver cutouts.
Rita Ora, in a Donna Karan Atelier classic backless red dress with a high side slit, finished her look with a slicked-back down ‘do not unlike that of Iggy Azalea, who wore blue Versace.
Demi Lovato also went for red, in a gown with wide chest-bearing V neck.
