Sleek Bobs - The MTV Video Music Awards red carpet is notorious for its “anything goes” approach to style, so it’s only fitting that our favorite stars took that mantra and ran with it. From full-on glamour to the risqué, here’s your recap of the night’s must-see looks. By Britt Middleton Models Chanel Iman and Jourdan Dunn ditched their long locks for sexy bobs, while Orange Is the New Black actress Uzo Aduba straightened her natural curls for the evening.

Bronzed and Beautiful - From her glowing skin to her peachy lip gloss, Kim Kardashian had the sun-kissed look down to a T. Young actress Alexandra Shipp mixed in a smoky eye for a little variation.  (Photos from left: Larry Busacca/Getty Images for MTV, Jason Merritt/Getty Images for MTV)

Throwback Fashion - Only a true rule breaker like Amber Rose could get away with a barely there chain-link dress (hers is by Laura Dewitt) and a G-string. And we have to assume she took inspiration from actress Rose McGowan, who wore a similar look at the 1998 VMAs. #ATaleOfTwoRoses (Photos from left: Jason Merritt/Getty Images for MTV, Ron Galella/WireImage)

Throwback Fashion (Part II) - We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention Katy Perry and Riff Raff’s (both in custom Versace) awesome recreation of the denim look Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake rocked in 2001. It’s the gift that keeps on giving. (Photos from left: Jason Merritt/Getty Images for MTV, Jeffrey Mayer/WireImage)

Slicked-Back Strands - If their "Black Widow" moves don’t kill you, the sheer sexiness of Rita Ora and Iggy Azalea’s slicked-back hairstyles will. We’re obsessed with how it put all the attention on their stunning features. (Photos: Jason Merritt/Getty Images for MTV)

Leather Looks - Miley Cyrus may have left the twerking at home, but she still brought some serious attitude in her leather crop top and trousers. Ariana Grande looked just as fetching in her Moschino get-up and thigh-high stiletto boots.  (Photos: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images)

Color Coordinated Arrivals - While lovebirds Jordin Sparks and Jason Derulo worked head-to-toe white, Snoop Dogg and daughter Cori Broadus kept it dark with splashes of pastel accents. (Photos: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images)

Smoky Eyes and Soft Lips - Both Nicki Minaj and Michelle Williams got the memo: heavy winged eyeliner, bronzy shadow and whisper pink lips are all you need to make a memorable statement.  (Photos from left: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images, Larry Busacca/Getty Images for MTV)
