Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry: Best & worst dressed MTV VMAs stars
The annual MTV Video Music Awards took place in Brooklyn, New York last night (August 26) and saw show-stopping performances from Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga and reformed boy band *NSYNC.
We take a look back at some of the best and worst dressed stars to grace the red carpet - from an understated Lady Gaga to a provocative catsuit-clad Lil' Kim - below.
Katy Perry wore a garish gold grill and Emanuel Ungaro leopard print dress, while Rita Ora strolled up the red carpet in an unusual Alex Vauthier feathered gown slit to the thigh and complete with train.
Miley Cyrus wore a black bejewelled '90s style Dolce & Gabbana crop top with matching high-waisted trousers, and Taylor Swift added old Hollywood glamour in a navy blue plunging Herve Leger gown.
Selena Gomez stunned in a single-breasted Versace gown slit to the thigh, while Lady Gaga went understated (for her!) in a flattering black Prabal Gurung gown.
Iggy Azalea donned a daring see-through Emilio Pucci dress with gold embellishment protecting her modesty, and Ciara wowed in a sheer Givenchy gown with feathered detail.
Ellie Goulding wore a figure-hugging punk-themed studded gown, while Lil' Kim donned a plunging see-through catsuit (in typical Kim style) teamed with yellow suede stiletto Louboutin boots.
Girls star Allison Williams looked pretty in a white long-sleeved Valentino mini dress and model Erin Wasson left little to the imagination in a revealing sheer gown and Givenchy headdress.
Girls actress Jemima Kirke wore an unflattering totem pole print number with pink heels, and Modern Family's Sarah Hyland donned a bizarre Wonder Woman-style red and gold ruffle Marchesa dress.
