Miley Cyrus wore Alexandre Vauthier. This year, the singer did not want people to talk about her because of her outfit, her signature tongue/smile or her twerking skills. Instead, she wanted to use the platform she was given to talk about an important cause.  After her highly talked-about performance from last year, Cyrus discovered the she had a voice and people were paying close attention to what she had to say. Below is a video of her explaining what she had in mind for the night.

Katy Perry & RiFF RaFF

RiFF RaFF and Katy Perry were undoubtedly embodied the VMA spirit last night. The two wore a Versace Couture denim outfit inspired by Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake‘s 28th Annual American Music Award outfit from 2001. “WE’RE GOIN FOR DA BEST WORST DRESSED TODAY #THISISHOWWEDOVMAS,” tweeted Perry earlier on Sunday. “I must admit my outfit is a result of my love for nostalgia and my tumblr addiction #THISISHOWWEDOVMAS,” she continues.

The outfits were perfectly tailored and showcased how the musical couple does it: loud, fun and memorable. Britney herself was a fan of the look. She messaged Perry saying: “Just when I thought the denim dress had retired….you bring it back! You looked amazing tonight bb.”
