The MTV VMAs were live at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey tonight, and the stars came out to shine. Many took fashion risks that paid off. Some, however, ended up looking more like a train wreck.

See the best and worst looks of the night below:

• 26. Chloe Fineman

  Share

  The 'SNL' actress seemed to take inspiration from space with this look, but it looks more like a comforter cut out haphazardly.

• 25. Samy Hawk

  Share

  We were digging the singer's neon graffiti leather jacket featuring a zombie Bart Simpson, but that green hat kills the whole thing and makes it far too chaotic.

• 24. Luna Clipse

  Share

  The rapper seems to be evoking Joker energy with the remnants of some kind of face paint and his straight-jacket ensemble outfitted with locks.
• 23. Khalid

  Share

  Khalid's purple pants and shoes are so cool-looking, but they totally clash with the busy pattern of his shirt.

• 22. Justina Valentine

  Share

  The rapper looks like she wants to be a superhero -- a fabulous one at that.

• 21. Druski

  Share

  The comedian looks to be having the time of his life at the red carpet, wearing shorts with his black suit ensemble.
• 20. Ryan Castro

  Share

  The singer is bringing winter fashion to Newark in August. Though we love the jacket and pants, it doesn't work with the season. It's hot in New Jersey tonight!

• 19. Lizzo

  Share

  As much as we would love to give Lizzo props for this daring look, the dress completely swallows her whole and looks like curtains were draped over her body.

• 18. Jack Harlow

  Share

  The most-nominated man of the night kept it cool in an all-leather look.
• 17. BLACKPINK

  Share

  The superstar K-poppers looked chic in matching black ensembles.

• 16. Offset

  Share

  The Migos member wore an all-white ensemble for his first solo awards show appearance.

• 15. Latto

  Share

  We are loving Latto in lime green leather.
• 14. Måneskin

  Share

  The rockers never miss when it comes to coordinating edgy and sexy outfits with perfect hair.

• 13. Valentina Ferrer

  Share

  The Argentinian model brought enough class and high fashion to go around at the VMAs.

• 12. Dometi Pongo

  Share

  Who can resist a handsome man in a powder blue suit? Not us.
• 11. Becky G

  Share

  We are loving the attention to detail with Becky G's stained glass-inspired maxi dress.

• 10. Dove Cameron

  Share

  The singer never ceases to amaze us on red carpets with her style and beauty. Though not our favorite look of hers, Dove combines romance and edginess.

• 9. Bob the Drag Queen

  Share

  Bob the Drag Queen perfectly combines looking sharp and dapper with feminine and flowy.
• 8. Monét X Change

  Share

  We are loving EVERYTHING about this look! From the orange floral bell-bottoms, to the daisy top, to the pom pom hair buns, this look is a hippie's heaven.

• 7. Red Hot Chili Peppers

  Share

  Anthony Kiedis, Flea and Chad Smith have never looked cooler than they do at the VMAs -- they're legends who still headline stadiums for a reason.

• 6. Lil Nas X

  Share

  Lil Nas X has outdone himself once again with this elaborate feather ensemble that is out of this world!
• 5. Doechii

  Share

  Doechii served it UP at the red carpet with this hot leather micro skirt and jacket.

• 4. Taylor Swift

  Share

  Taylor Swift made a surprise appearance in a stunning Oscar de la Renta crystal dress with matching shoes.

• 3. Conan Gray

  Share

  The singer is evoking superstar energy with this fashion-forward look!
• 2. Sofia Carson

  Share

  The singer looks like an absolute ethereal vision with this black gown and hood.

• 1. Chlöe Bailey

  Share

  Since she isn't performing, the singer was able to go all out on her silver ensemble, and she looks flawless.
