As the stars started arriving at the VMAs, one thing was abundantly clear - this was going to be a naked red carpet. At one end of the spectrum was Ciara, whose long black gown was made of peekaboo lace and came with a strategically placed cut-out, at the other was Megan Fox, wearing an entirely see-through slip dress from Mugler. Jennifer Lopez's David Koma outfit played a game of reveal and conceal, with criss-cross closures on the micro top and miniskirt, while Winnie Harlow's, from LaQuan Smith, was an oversized jacket paired with matching knickers. Other highlights were Billy Porter, whose silver suit had plenty of sharp-shouldered attitude, and Lil Nas X, who stole the show in his diamanté-encrusted lilac gown and trousers combo.
