Some of the biggest musicians, models, TV stars in US showbiz turned out
in their most glamorous gowns and suits tonight for the annual MTV VMAs
bash.
Everyone from Kim Kardashian, Nicki Minaj, Beyonce and Hailey Baldwin, to American model Ashley Graham and Heidi Klum flashed endless amounts of flesh in daring sheer dresses and tiny ice skater-style numbers.
Nicki showed off her world famous curves in a tight blue dress, flaunting both her toned legs in long sheer panels. Kim Kardashian outdid herself yet again.

dress.
Appearing to ditch her underwear altogether, the star came dangerously close to a double wardrobe malfunction in the bizarre one-piece.
Beyonce made a dramatic entrance in huge wings and a stunning skintight silver dress.
The star showed off her curvy figure in the sparkling one-piece, and held hands with her daughter Blue Ivy as she greeted screaming crowds outside.

He gave shout outs to his wife Kim K, his ex girlfriend Amber Rose, Ray J- who starred in a popular sex tape with his wife years ago and then called out Taylor Swift- who smartly avoided turning up at the star studded event despite being nominated.
Introducing his very racy video for track Fade, Kanye reminded the VMA's crowd that they are the blessed ones while simultaneously weighing into the issue of gun violence.
With the crowd chanting Yeezus, the rap star said: 'I am Kanye West and it feels really great to say that - especially this year. I came here to present my new video but before I do that I'm going to talk.'
'For people to understand just how blessed we are, Famous was an expression of our now, our fame right now, us on the inside of the TV... I had the audacity to put Anna Wintour right next to Donald Trump.'Kanye then made a few jokes making reference to his wife's sex tape partner Ray J and Amber Rose.
'I mean, I put Ray J in there bro! This is fame, bro! Like, I see you Amber. My wife is a G! Not a lot of people’s wives would let them say that. We came over in the same boat, now we're all in the same bed. Well, maybe different boats, but, if you think about last week, there was 22 people murdered in Chicago.'
'People come up to me like, ''Man, that's right, take Taylor down,'' - Bro, I love all of y’all. That’s why I called her.
'So I was speaking at the Art Institute last year and one kid came up to me and said ''Three of my friends died and I don't know if I'm going to be next.''
'If you're seeing people dying next to you you might think, what's the point? Life can start to feel worthless in a way. I know times for me, I sit down and talk to older, like, rich people, you know? A.K.A. White. And they tell me don't compare yourself to Steve Jobs. Don't compare yourself to Walt Disney.
'My friend [J. Sakiya Sandifer] told me there's three keys to keeping people impoverished; taking away their esteem, their resources, and their role models.'Kanye then said his 'role models are artists, merchants' and he is one of his own role models.
'There's less than 10 I can name in history - Truman, Ford, Hughes, Disney, Jobs, West.'
'Tonight, we're here to have fun! I'm standing in front of my idol Puff Daddy. I'm standing in front of my wife Kim Kardashian-West. I'm standing in front of the future, Chance the Rapper. 2 Chainz. Jayden Smith. Bro, we are undeniably the influence, the thought leaders. I'm gonna play y'all a piece of my art and I just hope you all have a good time.'More photos and the video below...
The duo performed their reggae infused Side By Side live at the event and in the final moments of their jaw dropping performance, both Nicki and Ariana pushed down the heads of the dancers towards their genital region much to cheers from the crowd. More photos and the video abeg
