The MTV Video Music Awards 2013.

Although the MTV Video Music Awards is always choc-full of major stars and must-see performances, this year's show was particularly memorable. Swapping its usual L.A. location for Brooklyn's Barclays Center, the red carpet practically became a runway, showcasing a slew of edgy, fashion-forward ensembles. From Selena Gomez sleek Versace dress to Ariana Grande’s sweet floral frock, our favourite young starlets totally owned the show.
Miley Cyrus continued her crop top run with a too cool bedazzled ensemble, while Taylor Swift revved up her signature sophistication with a bandage gown. Ellie Goulding sported spikes, and Rita Ora had a major feathers moment. Here’s what everyone else wore and some of the trends at the VMAs 2013.

Long Sleeves. With fall around the corner, Katy Perry, Alison Williams and Naya Rivera chose long tapered sleeves which is a perfect transitional piece into cooler weather.
