Whenever the MTV VMAs roll around, we can't help but stare at our screen, wide-eyed and waiting for the next major — and likely pretty kooky — fashion moment to occur. After all, this is the same show where Lil' Kim rocked a pasty, Britney Spears wore a snake, and pretty much anything goes in terms of style. So we weren't too surprised when 2016's event offered more of the same.

Scroll through for the red carpet style moments that made our jaws drop once again, from Beyoncé's angel-like ensemble to Hailey Baldwin's revealing jumpsuit. Some things truly never change!
