Celebrities came to slay the 2019 MTV VMAs.

From glitzy gowns to risqué designs, music's biggest and brightest stars showed up and showed out to the awards ceremony. Like the famous Moonman trophy handed out to the winners, nearly every celeb hit the red carpet in outfits that were out-of-this-world.

Case in point: Taylor Swift graced the star-studded ceremony in a truly breathtaking design that shimmered as bright as the flashing camera lights. From her colorfully jewel-adorned blazer-dress by Versace to her equally stunning rhinestone knee-high boots, her ensemble was a sight to see. Moreover, Lance Bass made '90s fans rejoice over his vibrant suit and white embroidered tee. Making his outfit more iconic? His shirt gave a shout out to his *NSYNC days as "tearing up my heart" was written in black and red thread.

Of course, the MTV VMAs are one of the few award shows that welcomes audacious and over-the-top designs. That's why Lizzo's flamboyant and flashy Moschino ensemble fits into the best dressed category. From the vibrant red-hot pattern to her matching feather boa, this was one fashion risk that hit the mark.

With performances by Bad Bunny, Camila Cabello, J Balvin, Lil Nas X, Rosalía, Normani and more, fans are guaranteed to see more bold and fun fashion during the show. What's more? Style icon Marc Jacobs will earn the first Fashion Trailblazer Award.

Additionally, music legend Missy Elliot is receiving the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award and will take the stage to perform for first time since 2006.
