Daring and glam? Of course! Celebs brought out their best and wildest looks for the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards, held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Sunday, Sept. 12. Scroll through to see who made the best-dressed list for the big night -- and it's a whole lot of pink looks!
Camila Cabello
The "Don't Go Yet" singer went for major Valentine's Day vibes in a pink-and-red strapless, floor-length Alexis Mabille gown with an oversized bow at the waist. Cabello's jet black hair was slicked back in a tight ponytail, with matching eyeshadow and earrings for extra pops of pink.
Olivia Rodrigo
"Jealousy, jealousy" is how we felt when we saw Rodrigo in this stunning dress! The pop star looked super glam in a strapless pink Atelier Versace column gown and dangling butterfly earrings.
Normani
A total boss! The "Worth It" singer donned an all-white Patryc Japagas look, which included a cropped, collared leather jacket with zig-zag sleeves and oversized cuffs; tiny, wrapped mini skirt with a long strap hanging loose; pointy heels and nails. She finished her look with a sky-high ponytail.
Kacey Musgraves
Fine and feathered! The country crooner left us feeling "star-crossed" when she struck a pose in this royal purple sleeveless mini Valentino, which featured a ruched skirt. She completed her over-the-top look with an oversized purple ostrich feather hat by Philip Treacy for Valentino and red leather gloves.
Anitta
Old Hollywood got a daring makeover when the Brazilian songwriter stepped out in this strapless black-and-white Miss Sohee gown. The belly button-exposing bodice was covered in pearls, and she completed the vampy look with white gloves and a red lip.
Shawn Mendes
The "Señorita" singer was white-hot in a monochrome suited look. The white jacket and off-white pants were by Mans, while the tank top was a ribbed silk knit by Judy Turner.
Simone Biles
The Olympian was pretty in pink at the VMAs! The pale pink dress featured one strap and a side slit, and she accessorized with sculptural silver hoops and clear heels.
Avril Lavigne
The Canadian rocker brought her punk sensibilities to the VMAs, rocking a pink plaid jacket with a bedazzled heart cut-out at the center and matching wide-leg pants by Area with a sequined bralette. She finished her look with a silver handbag with a round handle and black platform Jimmy Choo shoes.
Lil Nas X
Lil Richard would be proud! The "Industry Baby" rapper was lovely in lavender, strutting his stuff down the red carpet in a light purple pantsuit-dress hybrid Atelier Versace outfit with a long asymmetrical train and sculptured shoulders. He completed the look with matching shoes and a Jheri curl 'do.
Dixie D'Amelio
The TikTok star dared to bare in a cut-out, backless silk Aliétte halter dress.
Billy Porter
Silver stunner! The Pose star once again brought his fashion A-game in a shimmering suit with split sleeves and matching square-toe shoes.
Machine Gun Kelly
MGK was a sequined stunner in this all-red Dolce & Gabbana look, which he let shine by pairing the bold set with black dress shoes.
Doja Cat
The awards show host rocked layers of maroon and black with a major statement necklace when she hit the red carpet in this Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood look.
