There was plenty of jaw-dropping fashion moments on the red carpet, but this one shimmering look was literally everywhere.
Stars were on a silver streak at the MTV Video Music Awards!
On Monday night, celebs arrived at Radio City Music Hall in New York City and showed off their glam looks for the awards. While there were jaw-dropping ensembles aplenty, there was one particular trend that was sweeping the pink carpet -- statement silver. From Video Vanguard Jennifer Lopez to the "God Is a Woman" singer Ariana Grande, dramatic metallic looks in a variety of shades and finishes blinded us with their glitz and glamour (and they're going to be huge for fall).
Sexy, edgy chain mail was a favorite among J.Lo and newly engaged supermodel Karlie Kloss, while glittery sequins iterated in fashion-forward silhouettes shimmered on 14-year-old musician Grace VanderWaal and "Meant to Be" blonde Bebe Rexha.
Although the trend is often reserved for special occasions, sparkly separates can be dressed down with everyday wares such as denim and sneakers. See the chicest silver looks from the VMAs ahead and shop our similar selects to channel these stars.
