At this point, the MTV Video Music Awards should have its own holiday. Every year, fans all over the country tune in to watch one of music's biggest nights, waiting to see who will nab top honors. And with last year being major for music, we knew that celebrities would be coming with their A-game — and we were right. The night's looks were creative, outside the box, and all-around glamorous, and we loved every moment of it.
Ahead, check out some of our favorite celebs who shut down the VMAs.
Normani
The always glamorous singer looked stunning in a red-and-purple-sequined dress with lavender lids and a hairstyle that reminded us all too much of late singer Aaliyah.
Bella & Gigi Hadid
The Hadid sisters looked gorgeous. Bella was rocking a stylish high pony paired with an itty-bitty two-piece set. And Gigi, with bronzy makeup and effortless hair, and wearing Tom Ford pants and top, looked like she belonged on a beach.
Taylor Swift
Look here, Swifties! The country singer kept it simple tonight with lightly-waved hair, sleek black liner, and a bold red lip. Many are saying her return to the VMAs after four years was more than triumphant — she totally rocked it.
Lizzo
Because, like, what else would we expect from Lizzo? The always-bold singer hit the red carpet draped in a gorgeous vibrant red. Donning feathers across her sequined dress, the night's true stunner was clear.
J. Balvin
Lime green, tiger-striped hair? Well, that's not something you see every day! But then again, when does J. Balvin ever do anything basic?
Nikita Dragun
Well, we know who's the boss tonight! The stunner walked the red carpet rocking an old-school, super-glam look, with white hair and bold earrings.
Queen Latifah
The iconic rapper strutted her stuff in a fierce orange suit, a bold coral lip, and hair that looked like legit silk.
H.E.R.
Things got crazy, really crazy. The crooner showed up with an extra friend on her neck to complement her sleek adorned box braids.
FKA Twigs
The singer looked absolutely heavenly in a goddess-style gown with bright red hair.
Camila Cabello
With a white dress and waist-length hair, we couldn't tell if it was the hit pop star or a real-life angel.
Halsey
Halsey showed off her pride on the red carpet with a rainbow-colored scalp accent dye!
Bebe Rexha
If there's anyone who never disappoints, it's Rexha. With a sequined reflective dress and a metallic eye look, she was all about turning heads!
Adriana Lima
If looks could kill! Lima stared down the red carpet with piercing eyes and wet hair, wowing everyone.
Heidi Klum
Klum was serving serious bangs, hunny! The fringed look was both edgy and chic, and we lived for it.
Keke Palmer
Hello? Baddie calling! Palmer looked amazing with her sleek bun, simple glam makeup, and a yellow dress that stood out perfectly against her skin.
B. Simone
Sleek buns are having a moment, and tonight was no different. B. Simone wowed with her larger-than-life ensemble and perfectly beat face.
Lil Nas X
Ruffles and glitter, but make it fashion. The rapper was giving us serious old-time sartorial feels and, as expected, it was completely over-the-top.
Megan Thee Stallion
Before shutting down the preshow stage, Megan walked the carpet in a black sequined blazer with matching bra and boots, showing that this hot girl summer is far from over.
Hailee Steinfeld
We think it's safe to say that red was the color of the night! Steinfeld showed just that with a sexy and sophisticated red dress paired with a bright red lip.
Lenny Kravitz
The music legend hit the carpet with his signature two-piece vest set, giving us all some serious nostalgia! Suddenly, we got the urge for a lot of denim.
