Yesterday the biggest stars in the music world hit the red carpet for the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards in New Jersey. As has come to be expected, the show was an eclectic collection of the biggest celebrities as they gathered to celebrate their yearly achievements on the Billboard music charts.

This year, the 36th annual awards show was no exception with international superstars bringing their A-game. Here are a few of the best dressed femme fatales of the night!
