You’ve seen the list of winners from the 2012 MTV VMAs — congrats to Demi Lovato, One Direction, Drake & more! — but who were the ultimate winners of the red carpet? In our opinion, this year’s lot was a lot darker and/or more plain than usual. Just based on Miley Cyrus, Nicki Minaj and Katy Perry above, you can see black was a big player in the night’s ensembles. We’re not totally complaining, though. (After all, this was quite possibly Katy’s hottest look ever!)
Check out the best and worst dressed celebs (‘cept we’re not going to make that distinction) in the gallery below, then tell us who you loved most in the comments!
