MTV VMAs 2018 Red Carpet Dresses
The Stars Made a First Impression at the VMAs in These Red Carpet Looks

With Cardi B opening the 2018 MTV VMAs, followed by ladies like Ariana Grande and Jennifer Lopez, who hit the stage to receive the Video Vanguard Award, we expected buzzy looks with viral potential. But body-con dresses and thigh-high slits don't even begin to describe the impossibly daring outfits we saw on the red carpet. From J Lo's stunning silver Versace number to Cardi B's '80s-inspired Nicolas Jebran midi, the stars seemingly showed up with one goal in mind: to put their famous curves on display. Ahead, take in all the arrivals from every angle, then see the sexiest designs (in our opinion) and scroll through the best dressed of the night.
