Amber Rose turned heads in a latex red Catwoman-esque outfit, with matching scarlet thigh-high boots and a fringed whip.

Love and Hip Hop reality star Sky went a step further, flashing her boob covered only by a Janet Jackson-style nipple cover.

God Is A Woman singer Ariana Grande and fiance Pete Davidson flaunted some serious PDA, while JLo - who received the Michael Jackson Vanguard Award - looked tame by comparison in a silver frock with a thigh-high split.

Most of the top nominees — including Drake, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Mars and Childish Gambino — didn’t attend the VMAs.

But the real action was on the pink carpet, where VMAs-winner Nicki Minaj basically wore bathers with a sheer dress over the top.

Not everyone flashed some skin. Former Gossip Girl Blake Lively covered up in head-to-toe suiting, and Kylie Jenner looked weirdly conservative (compared to everyone else).

She avoided a run-in with her brother’s ex-girlfriend (who is also Kylie’s ex’s former girlfriend), Blac Chyna, who basically turned up naked, except for a mesh pink “dress”.
