Hey all!  We all live for stunning red carpet moments of our favorite celebs.  But at the MTV Video Music Awards, the real show happens when a few guards are let down and celebs let loose.  Just ask Nicki.  From moments inside the arena to some after party pics, we’ve got the rundown on who wore what for the ‘Gram.  Let’s take a look!

 Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift came together for the opening performance despite past Twitter disagreements.  The duo absolutely slayed in ornate red looks, Taylor’s designed by Yousef Aljasmi.  Hot!

 

Taylor and about one-tenth of her Bad Blood Squad posed for funny pics on the SMPTE color bar carpet, each of them just as beautiful as the other.  Can we get into Hailee’s Jennifer Fisher choker and Serayah’s fringe Herve Leger?  Hot! Miley Cyrus gave a ton of looks as last night’s host, and this embellished custom Prada may have very well been her tamest.  Hmm…neither here nor there for this one, but I love the way it sparkles.

 Fifth Harmony came through and looked ravashing in bedecked minidresses.  I love when members of a group don’t wear the same thing, but they still look cohesive.

 Designer and creative director for Moschino, Jeremy Scott sidled up next to Tinashe for a few pics before the show.  A lot of people had mixed reviews about Jeremy Scott’s look, but given the occasion, and carpet, I absolutely loved his look!  It’s fun, attention grabbing, and despite the MANY colors, it’s well-tailored.  Tinashe could’ve kicked things up a notch with her dress choice, but the patent leather boots are killer.

 Rita Ora presented an award at last night’s affair.  Fringe is definitely at the forefront of this season’s trends as Rita followed suit.  The singer dazzled in an Alexandre Vauthier number that left just enough to the imagination.  Thigh high slit and some fringe were on the menu, and it’s pretty safe to say that Rita ATE!  Hot!

 Iggy Azalea and Demi Lovato found perfect ussie lighting before hitting up an after party.  So pretty!  And I’m here for Iggy’s makeup…very soft and subtle.

Ariana Grande kept things pretty casual in an oversized Moschino t-shirt and suede thigh high boots.  Cute look for Ariana, but a little sparkle never hurt anyone.

 And last, but not least, is Kyle Jenner, who chose a black Balmain bandage number for some post award show celebrations.  A bit risqué in my opinion, but the fit is perfect.

That’s it for this week!  Who would you have partied with?
