 Some of music's biggest stars pulled out all the stops for the Video Music Awards last night. Here are the biggest trends on the red carpet:

 

 

Sheer

When stars like Miley Cyrus and Rita Ora rock a trend, you know it’s for real. Both ladies showed a little skin in Emilio Pucci, using sheer cutouts to keep it classy. While Ora worked a look-at-me jumpsuit with a sheer panel, Cyrus wore a classic black dress with edgy cutouts.

Allover Black

Wiz Khalifa and Kreayshawn both tried an all-black look. Without any distracting color, the look is all about details – Khalifa opted for for sunglasses and no socks, while Kreayshawn went with a classic red lip and statement jewelry.

Nude + lace

 

Amber Rose and Ke$ha both tried this trend on for size. The ladies channeled their own styles in nude dresses with black lace overlay. Rose wore hers as a demure gown and Ke$ha went with a shorter Ugo Zaldi dress, accessories with black shoes and purse.

 

White on White

Just because Labor Day was last weekend doesn’t mean stars are going to stop wearing white. Taylor Swift and Rihanna both went with all-white ensembles. Swift rocked a white pantsuit with a red lip, while Rihanna debuted a new pixie cut alongside a slouchy white knotted dress.
