The MTV Video Music Awards have played host to some truly legendary beef — think Madonna vs. Courtney Love, 1995, or Kanye West vs. Taylor Swift, 2014 — but they also star one of the brightest and most inventive red carpets of the music awards season. This year is no exception: Beyoncé showed up with Blue Ivy and the whole Lemonade cast (including model Winnie Harlow) in a feathered, crystal-embellished confection by Francesco Scognamiglio, while on the fashion side of things, Jeremy Scott graced the red carpet with model Stella Maxwell in a matching set of his own design. See all the looks from the 2016 MTV VMAs red carpet, here.
