The MTV awards are always a joy to watch, partly because of the performances, but mainly because of the red carpet. An opportunity for stars to take a few more sartorial risks than the more traditional, buttoned-up award ceremonies, it’s less about the gloss and all about the sass. Expect high-octane glamour, a lot of sequins and full look bubble-gum pink. Phwoar.
Nina Dobrev gives really good ice queen in this elegant lilac column dress by Elie Saab. The simple shape with strictly cinched waist allows for the graduated beading detail to shine. Also, we really want the rocks that she’s got – those shoulder grazing earrings, yes please.

Winnie Harlow vamps it up in Roberto Cavalli, Halloween may have been last week, but in our opinion channeling a little Morticia Addams into your wardrobe should be for life. Those fluted lace sleeves are goth heaven.

Jourdan Dunn wears her Balmain chainmail gown like armour. The supermodel really nails the art of sexy red carpet dressing. Never too fussy, she’s accessory free and pretty bloody flawless.

Oh hello Laura Whitmore, looking gorgeous in a wine toned, tiered ruffle dress. The Strictly Come Dancing star shows us you don’t always need to go full length for impact.

Let’s hear it for the boys. Jaden Smith looks as cool as ever, bringing stonewashed denim back in his oversized jacket and tee from new label The Incorporated.

Charlie XCX , never one to shy away from a full look, doesn’t let us down on the sequin front – those oversized pink paillettes shimmer like a disco ball. Extra props for pulling off a fondant fancy pink co-ord, alongside that delightfully fluffy shrug.
