Upping the ante, supermodel Joan hinted at her ample assets as she donned a semi-sheer blouse for the occasion which complemented her striking sequin skirt.

The Puerto Rican fashion star was joined at the bash by Hailee Steinfeld and Vanessa Hudgens.

Look red hot in a sheer dress like Vanessa

The VMA's fashion fell a bit flat this year for us sadly, with only a handful of stars leaving a good impression. Vanessa Hudgens was one of those.

The actress turned heads in this striking red dress by Yanina. The couture creation was bold in it's color but also beautifully delicate with a tutu body falling into a sheer drop skirt.

We love all of Yanina's pieces, browse the site on the right and see them for yourself.
