The MTV Video Music Awards are known for showcasing outrageous fashion. It's the one awards show where celebrities can ditch the elegant ball gowns or suits and ties and opt for something a bit more edgy. This year's edition features a mix of the cute and the crazy. Here are some of the classy looks we loved from the 2014 VMA Red Carpet.
Miley Cyrus
Miley donned black leather pants and a matching bandeau top. She departed from her crazy outfits of last year for a more subdued style, and it looked nice and classy paired with minimal makeup and a casual cropped hair.
Michelle Williams
Michelle went for a sultry style with a giraffe-print black-and-white maxi dress, designed by Roberto Cavalli. The keyhole cutout and leg slit, together with her smoky eyes and sleak long hair, made for an elegant-yet-sexy look.
Iggy Azalea
Cue the "She's so fancy, she already knows" pun. Iggy looked beautiful in a shimmering silver Versace gown that hugged her curves and showed off her hourglass figure.
Nina Dobrev
Dobrev opted for a floor-length Zuhair Murad gown with a plunging neckline. The red and black color blocking, paired with a black leather belt, showed off her tiny waist, and the draping made her look like a Greek goddess.
Sam Smith
The "Stay With Me" singer looked dapper in his three-piece suit, and his is cross earrings gave the look a little edge.
Becky G
The 17-year-old showed up in a glamorous black crop top and sleek studded skirt that revealed her black panties through the sheer side slit.
Alexandra Shipp
Actress Alexandra Shipp caught our attention right away with her black and sheer Falguni & Shane Peacock gown.
Usher
The "Good Kisser" singer stunned with his white kicks and matching shirt with black pants.
Kendall and Kylie Jenner
These sisters kept it sleek in all black everything. Kendall donned a black jumpsuit with a mesh top and black bralette. She paired it with simple strappy black shoes and a small gold clutch. Kylie went with an goth-inspired black silk gown with a serious side slit. She accessorized with a simple gold body chain, thin chandelier earrings and a few gold bangles.
Jennifer Lopez
JLo brought the glam with her glittery silver Charbel Zoe floor-length gown. The look was revealing, with peak-a-boo elements throughout, however, it looked sophisticated rather than raunchy. She also pulled off the thigh high slit like a pro.
