The Most OMG Outfits from the VMAs Red Carpet

The MTV Video Music Awards are finally here, and we couldn’t think of a better way to finish off the summer season with great music and OMG-what-was-she-thinking outfits. While other red carpet events are very sophisticated and — dare we say — safe, the fashion at the VMAs is always fun. MTV has given “free reign” to Miley Cyrus, this year’s host. And with the red carpet and Moonman reimagined by fashion designer Jeremy Scott, you know you are in for one hell of a show. Check out our picks and get a glimpse backstage at MTV’s All Access Live Stream too. Trust us, this is one show you’re not going to want to miss.

1. Keltie Kelly: This peacock-like, low-cut dress is a force to be reckoned with. The intricate beading and mesh detail is super on trend. Striking, yet beautiful. (Photo by Larry Busacca/Getty Images)

2. Kelly Osbourne: Kelly’s pinstriped jumpsuit + metallic pointed shoe is all business. Her hair, however, is all party, and the crazy mix looks amaze. Even though she isn’t asking any fashion questions at this VMAs, we are so glad that she’s here, just so we can copy her outfit. (Photo by Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

3. Tori Kelly: If anyone can make lace and shorts look good together, it’s Tori Kelly. Her all-black ensemble is a major power move with her voluminous hair and bronze-y skin. (Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images)

4. Jeannie Mai: Girl, you are looking goooood. This sheer two-piece number is a great way to say farewell to summer. The mix-match prints and halter top are great ways to look fab in the summer heat. (Photo by Larry Busacca/Getty Images)

5. Vanessa Hudgens: The gold and pink Disney-princess-meets-boho-chic dress is a match made in heaven. The more-is-more accessories go so well with the attitude of the piece; she looks like she stepped out of a fairy tale, or at least a very elegant music festival.

6. Jeremy Scott: How could we not include Jeremy Scott? This designer is not only BFFs with Miley, but he is the mastermind behind the whole red carpet magic at the VMAs. We loved how he matched his environment with a test-patterned suit that, of course, he probably made himself. (Photo by Larry Busacca/Getty Images)

7. Amanda Steele: Amanda is looking fierce in this mix-print two-piece bodycon. She keeps the outfit simple with minimal jewelry and sophisticated long sleeves. The separates look adorable together, but are great on their own as well. We’ll take both please.

8. Taylor Swift: As one of the most anticipated VIPs, Taylor did not disappoint. Her ombre two-piece loungewear is so good, we can’t take our eyes off it. The houndstooth beaded awesomeness is definitely on our roundup for best all-time Taylor outfits. (Photo by Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

9. Selena Gomez: Selena is keeping in the theme with her “Bad Blood”vibe. The small leather details look hot contrasted with the glitter material, giving her a wild vibe. Get it, girl. (Photo by Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

10. Demi Lovato: This mosaic one-piece wonder is so beautiful it doesn’t need any other color to make it stand out. The blush pink looks gorgeous against Demi’s skin. She definitely knows how to stay cool for the summer. (Photo by Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

11. Gigi Hadid: Does this girl ever look bad? Gigi looks like she just left a tropical island with her golden-yellow slit-cut dress and tan skin. Simple, yet chic. (Photo by Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

12. Hailee Steinfeld: Forget the cold shoulder; Hailee is all covered with this ensemble. All white everything is the way to go before Labor Day arrives. We’re loving the gold accents and slicked back ‘do. (Photo by Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

13. Miley Cyrus: Oh, Miley. You never seem to bore us. When you shine so bright with an outfit like this, we can’t help but wonder what your thought process is like. We applaud you for your boldness, and seriously, who needs a shirt when your skirt is that amazing? (Photo by Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

14. Nick Jonas: Holy moly! Nick pulled out the big guns tonight (pun intended). Our new boy crush sported a tight leather jacket with matching motorcycle jeans. Something tells us the Harley isn’t too far away. (Photo via Jason Merrit/Getty)

15. Rachel Smith: The former beauty pageant queen and current flawless E! presenter turns heads in a neon green, sequined mid-length dress. (Photo via Jason Merrit/Getty)

16. Cara Delevingne: Though we won’t see this now-former supermodel strutting her stuff for #NYFW in the coming weeks, she still proves she can hang with the best of them, beaded fringe-style. (Photo via Jason Merrit/Getty)

17. Kat Graham: This Vampire Diaries star definitely went for it with a very graphic, Asian-inspired ensemble. We’re digging the bold colors, daring handbag and fiercely brown lip. So ’90s. (Photo via Jason Merrit/Getty)

Swimwear trends come and go, but there are some from the past that truly live in our minds rent-free. There are several styles that we’re honestly glad to see gone from the beach, whether it’s due to unflattering fits or impractical fabrics. We’re definitely guilty of wearing a few of these 7 “old fashioned" swimwear trends back in the day, but nothing compares to the designs we can shop today.

These are 7 bygone swimwear trends that have faded into fashion history – take a look at the styles you rarely see anymore!

1. Crochet Bikinis

Free People

It's Now Cool The Crochet Bikini Bottoms

Crochet bikinis were an undeniable hit in the 1970s and had a brief revival in the 2010s, but they’ve largely flopped in modern times because they’re not super practical.

Amazon

Seamoly Crochet Swimsuit

The crochet material tends to absorb more water than your typical swim-ready fabric, so it becomes heavy and saggy – not flattering. Plus, crochet swimmies can take a long time to dry and lose their shape quickly.

2. Belted Swimsuits

Anthropologie

Beach Riot Sydney Belted One-Piece Swimsuit

Once a super stylish choice in the ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s, belted swimsuits (especially one-piece swimsuits) were highly favored for their hourglass-enhancing look.

Vitamin A

Vitamin A Luxe Link Belted One Piece

These days, they’ve become less common because the extra material can feel restrictive and impractical for swimming. The belt can easily dig into the skin, plus, modern designs can achieve similar figure-flattering effects with shaping silhouettes.

3. Swim Skirts

Old Navy

Old Navy High-Waisted Matte Swim Skirt

Swim skirts were beloved for their added modesty to any swim getup. Now, swimwear trends have moved toward sleeker, more streamlined suits!

J.Crew

J.Crew Swim Skirt

While some people still prefer swim skirts for extra coverage, many find them impractical because they add extra bulk. Showing more skin seems to be in!

4. Metallic Fabrics

Andie

Andie The Lipari One Piece

Shiny and eye-catching metallic swimsuits were especially popular in the 80s and early 2000s, but they’ve faded out of popularity due to some… wearability issues.

Nordstrom

La Blanca Earth Lace-Up Underwire One-Piece Swimsuit

The metallic fabrics these suits are made of tend to be less stretchy, degrade faster with sun and chlorine exposure, and can look less flattering when wet. Not great!

Macy's

Becca Liquid Metal Triangle Bikini Top

Today, swimwear leans toward matte and textured fabrics that are way more durable and comfortable.

5. Tankinis

Target

Shade & Shore Bandeau Tankini Top

We honestly wish tankinis were still around with the cult following they had in the late ‘90s and early 2000s.

Boden

Boden Porto Tankini Top

Offering more coverage than a bikini but still being more versatile than a one-piece, tankinis have sadly been replaced by more modern designs like high-waisted bikinis and sleek one-pieces. Plus, tankinis can sometimes bunch up awkwardly or feel less secure when you’re swimming.

6. Zebra Print

Target

Wild Fable Textured Medium Coverage Triangle Bikini Top

Animal prints were everywhere on swimwear in the early 2000s. While leopard print has made quite the comeback, zebra print isn’t as hot since it tends to look overly bold and outdated.

Urban Outfitters

Sunkissed Le Triangle String Bikini Top

Most modern swimwear patterns now favor softer, abstract prints or straight-up solid colors for a more sophisticated look.

Abercrombie & Fitch

Abercrombie & Fitch Halter String Triangle Bikini Top

That isn’t to say you can’t wear zebra print swimsuits these days – if bold is your vibe, go for it!

7. Velvet Swimsuits

Triangl

Triangl Maia Vyne Swimsuit

Velvet swimsuits had a brief moment in the limelight during the ‘90s and 2000s, but they were never truly practical. The fabric, while luxurious on land, is quite terrible to wear when wet – it absorbs water, takes forever to dry, and can feel heavy and clingy.

Amazon

Cupshe One Shoulder Velvet Jacquard One Piece Swimsuit

Most people now prefer performance-ready swim fabrics that dry quickly and offer great stretch and comfort.

When any red carpet rolls around, there are certain couples we can pretty much always count on to show up looking cuter than ever. John Krasinski and Emily Blunt, Eddie Redmayne and his wife Hannah Bagshawe, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend… But anyone who’s ever seen a tabloid knows that celebrity couples often have a relatively short lifespan. And so when we decided to look back at the red carpet couples of the past, we rediscovered a whole bunch of duos we totally forgot ever existed. These stars are incredible on their own, but even more powerful together. Scroll on down to take a look at all the now-Hollywood exes who made us do a double take.

Juliette Lewis + Brad Pitt

We tend to think of Angelina and Jennifer as Brad’s two big loves, but before them (and Gwyneth) came Juliette Lewis. The two dated for four years when they were both on the cusp of total stardom. These two just might be tied with Johnny Depp and Kate Moss as the most ’90s couple that’s ever existed.

Michael Jackson + Brooke Shields

Michael Ochs Archive/Getty Images

A budding supermodel and a global pop sensation? It’s kind of a Hollywood match made in heaven, just like Brooke's curls. That dress on the other hand? We’re not so sure.

Matthew Broderick + Jennifer Grey

Vinnie Zuffante/TriStar/Getty Images

As much as we’d like to believe Sarah Jessica Parker was Matthew Broderick’s one and only, this couple makes a lot of sense. The two were both the main characters in epic teen ’80s movies – we’ll just forget about the fact that they played brother and sister in one of them…

Jake Gylenhaal + Reese Witherspoon

Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images

Dang, why didn’t this couple work out again? Oh right, probably because that much wonderfulness packed into one couple would make the world explode. But they sure did look good together!

Drew Barrymore + Corey Feldman

Vinnie Zuffante/Getty Images

Feldman once said that his first date with Drew was arranged by her mother when she was 10 and he was 14, because apparently Barrymore had a huge crush on him. They later dated briefly (this time for real) in 1989, when Drew was a teenager. Unfortunately, he was heavily into drugs during that time and she was trying to stay sober after multiple stints in rehab, so it didn’t last long.

Winona Ryder + Christian Slater

New World Pictures/Getty Images

Here’s to hoping this relationship ended a little more amicably than it did for their Heathers characters.

Julia Roberts + Kiefer Sutherland

Vinnie Zuffante/Getty Images

It was supposed to be one of the biggest Hollywood weddings ever, and then all of a sudden, Julia called it off. Tragic. At least we have this red carpet moment to remember the couple by.

Stacy Keibler + George Clooney

Jason Merritt/Getty Images

Now that Amal is in the picture, it’s hard to imagine George with anyone else. But before that British vision of elegance came Stacy Keibler, the stunning professional wrestler and George’s beau for two years.

Dating or marrying someone you can't be yourself with feels awful, but Gisele Bündchen is done with that. She's moved on from life with Tom Brady and has been happily enjoying her relationship with jiu-jitsu trainer Joaquim Valente. She even announced she was pregnant with their first child together last year! But that doesn't means she's forgotten how she felt during her former marriage, nor is she shying away from embracing all the new feelings!

Keep scrolling to learn how Gisele Bündchen feels post her divorce from Tom Brady!

Gisele Bündchen is basking in the afterglow that comes from ending a draining relationship. According to Page Six, a source told them she's experiencing a "freer" feeling with her current boyfriend Joaquim Valente. This comes as a surprise because she and Tom Brady always looked happy in pictures together, but we see how they don't always show what happens behind closed doors.

But she's not slighting Tom! If anything, the source noted the former model is "grateful for what she had" with him and "is blessed for their children."

The observation Gisele's made is noticing that she "felt like she lived in Tom [Brady’s] shadow for a long time," according to the source. Sometimes we shrink ourselves so we don't eclipse the grandiose personality of our partners which can make us feel invisible over time. That's not to say Gisele wanted to overshadow Tom, but feeling heard and seen in a relationship should apply to both partners.

Knowing that the source says she's "absolutely loving this new chapter," it's incredibly valid for Gisele to embrace what feels like a breath of fresh air!

In a previous Page Six reporting, a different insider dished about how Tom felt upon learning Gisele was having a baby with Joaquim. "It just wasn’t something that was on his radar. So when Gisele broke the news to him he was stunned, to say the least." However, the former pro-football player accepted this new development in his ex-wife's life.

"At the end of the day, Tom’s sole focus is on his children and his career. What Gisele decides to do with her own life is really none of his business."
