And the worst dressed award goes to... Stars roll onto MTV VMA's red carpet in kitsch, garish and VERY revealing outfits
The MTV Video Music Awards is supposed to honour the industry's best and brightest.
But when it came to fashion the red carpet was also awash with some of the world's dimmest stars, who were desperately trying to snatch the limelight with outlandishly garish outfits.
The event is traditionally a place where stars push the envelope with outrageous ensembles and they certainly did not disappoint this time around.

Brace yourselves: Miley Cyrus left almost nothing to the imagination with this bizarre outfit at the MTV VMAs on Sunday night
Show off your stems in silver OTK boots by Versace
Miley Cyrus is the host of the MTV movie awards and she walked the red carpet as a silvery Barbella babe. She might not have left much to the imagination, but she did leave us gasping for those over the knee Versace boots.
Perhaps the only wearable part of her outfit for us mere mortals, the gold platform with iconic house of Versace detailing, combined with silvery suede makes this one serious statement shoe. We would pair it with a simple LBD to highlight the wow factor. Another styling option would be over skin tight black leggings and a loose off the shoulder gold blouse for a 70s feel.
Sadly the silver version are not available online. The more versatile black version is available at Farfetch for $3,175 so click to the right if you're ready to make such an investment. If you heart is set on some mercury madness, check out our edit below.
Glitter, neon and a lot of flesh ruled the night and raised plenty of eyebrows too.
Of course the show's host is Miley Cyrus, and as a worst-dressed list stalwart she made sure she pulled out all the stops on the red carpet.
This time the 22-year-old Wrecking Ball singer wore almost nothing at all, with silver braces covering her exposed breasts and a loincloth of stage jewellery somewhat preserving her modesty down below, though thankfully it appeared she was also wearing a flesh coloured undergarment too.
When it comes to awful outfits self-styled singer Z La La really took the cake with a bizarre golden gown which boasted sleeves that seemed to be made up of inflated inner tubes covered with fabric.
Space oddity: The show's host appeared to be maintaining the event's science fiction theme with this number
In need of a lick of paint: In fact a full force makeover would perhaps have been more desirable in this instance
Tongue twister: But after a while even Miley seemed to be getting bored of her red carpet raspberry blowing
Out of this world: Singer Z La La looked like a Doctor Who alien extra with this outrageous outfit
Making a statement: Amber Rose and her sidekick Blac Chyna will no doubt claim they were making a feminist declaration on the red carpet
Showing her true colours: Her jumpsuit was covered in large, garishly coloured insulting words about women
Colourful characters: Jeannie Mai and Kat Graham were popping for all the wrong reasons due to their extremely loud outfits
To top off her sub-Doctor Who alien extra level look, her hair was styled into a point, much like a bargain basement chess pawn, and her face was adorned with baroque golden make-up around her eyes.
Meanwhile glamour model Amber Rose made a statement, of sorts, with a skin-tight jumpsuit covered in insulting words.
The extremely tight outfit was littered with a veritable thesaurus of nasty terms for women, with just some of the multicoloured lettering including the likes of 'golddigger' and stripper.
No doubt the canny self-publicist will explain she was making a feminist statement with her bold choice of clothing, even if her fashion statement misfired badly.
Former Fashion Police presenter Kelly Osbourne seemed in danger of being arrested after turning up in a dowdy double-breasted pinstriped number that was an unsightly combination of a trousersuit and a jumpsuit.
Call the Fashion Police: Kelly Osbourne could soon find herself under arrest after wearing this ugly double-breasted number
Un-suitable: The pinstriped number occupied that suprisingly uncomfortable place between the humble trousersuit and a jumpsuit
Birds of a feather: There are no obvious similarities between Gigi Gorgeous and Mahogany Lox's outfits beyond the fact they are truly hideous
Taking the Michaels: Celebrity personal trainer Jillian could not have been serious when she slipped into this outfit
She's no Angelina Jolie: Model Emily Ratajkowski undercut her bid to adopt the Oscar-winner's famous pose by wearing dominatrix-style boots
Thankfully equality was very much in force on the red carpet, with some of the men wearing outfits that left some of their badly dressed female counterparts in the shade.
Leading the charge was designer Jeremy Scott, displaying his usual level of panache after showing up in a patently ridiculous not-so-amazing technicolor dreamcoat.
He overshadowed the similarly awfully attired rockers Walk The Moon, who perhaps hoped to prove their art-rock credentials with Jackson Pollock inspired suits.
Sadly in this case they looked more like a delegation of painter and decorators.
It's curtains for her: Vanessa Hudgens seemed to have made the classic mistake of dressing in her grandmother's drapes
Is that Joseph? Sadly it was in fact designer Jeremy Scott who showed up in a patently ridiculous not-so-amazing technicolor dreamcoat
Never mind the Pollocks: No doubt rockers Walk The Moon hoped to channel Jackson, but sadly looked more like painter and decorators
