While award shows like the The Oscars and The Emmys are known for their elegant and sophisticated ensembles, the MTV VMAs are all about rejecting this notion. The celebration of popular music gives celebrities a chance to take fashion risks and allows them to stand out and show off a range of styles that are crazier-than-expected.
Whether paying homage to those who came before them or taking an unexpected risk that may get them on the Worst Dressed List, stars are always bound to have some fashion fun when attending the award show.
Last night's MTV VMAs award show has the internet buzzing with the spotlight being put on Ariana Grande and Katy Perry's looks. While girl-next-door Ariana opted for a daring, leather outfit, Katy payed tribute to Britney Spear's iconic, 2001 VMAs ensemble with her denim-clad gown.
