MTV VMAs 2016: Fashion—Live From the Red Carpet

Tonight the 33rd annual MTV Video Music Awards makes its return to New York City, taking place at Madison Square Garden. The evening promises red carpet appearances from Rihanna (who will be receiving the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award), Beyoncé (who has 11 nominations), Adele (whose “Hello” music video is up for consideration in seven categories), Britney Spears (who is slated to sing “Make Me . . . ” with G-Eazy, marking her return to the VMA stage since she last performed in 2007), and more. At the end of the night, will the Bey Hive or the Daydreamers be rejoicing? While we wait for the events to unfold, here, in real time, see what all of your favorite artists and musicians are wearing as they hit the red carpet.
