The MTV Video Music Awards are one of my favorite red carpet events of the year.

And the stars at this year’s event, held at UBS Stadium in New York, truly lived up to the hype. Read on to see the 20 best looks of the night, from Taylor Swift’s twisted nod to Cher Horowitz to Chappell Roan’s Roan of Arc, and Sabrina Carpenter in a vintage number you may have seen before.
