The MTV Video Music Awards took place at Radio City Music Hall last night. The VMAs are a much more casual affair than other award shows, so there are no rules when it comes to dressing for the red carpet. And this year, the stars didn’t disappoint — so we thought we’d count down our 20 favorite looks from this year’s VMAs.
