Pete Davidson may have been playing it cool in sneakers and sweats, but Ariana Grande [1] went all out on the 2018 MTV VMAs red carpet [2] with a bustier, miniskirt, and boot combo — complete with biker shorts underneath. The resulting look was one that can best be described as a space-age-warrior-princess-superhero. Thanks to an armor-like metallic finish and bold thigh-high boots by Le Silla, Ariana rocked a look that could rival Wonder Woman herself (or if, like me, you're a child of the '80s, perhaps you remember She-Ra?). It's an outfit that's fierce, sexy, and playful, albeit a little confusing. But, hey, if you can't wear your Tinker Bell-meets-superhero outfit to the VMAs, where can you now?

Read on to see the look as it was meant to be seen: from every head-turning angle.
