Before the show starts, the best entertainment begins on the carpet — where celebrities arrive clad in their finest wares. When the MTV VMAs kicked off today in NYC, the style parade attracted a haul of entertainers dressed to impress.

Kylie Jenner kept things simple and chic in a blazer dress with Olgana Paris‘ fall ’18 L’Engageante sandals in white satin.

While Jenner was a vision in white, a view of Rita Ora’s look left little to the imagination. The pop star had on a black gown by Fleur du Mal with Giuseppe Zanotti’s resort ’19 Rose black satin sandals. The very sheer outfit showed plenty of skin and obscured her sandals, which were embellished with a rose detail.

Sometimes the best accessories are kids. DJ Khaled always seems to have his mini-me in tow and they always manage to look stylish together. The 1-year-old, like his mother and father, came dressed in Versace. The little guy also sported black Puma kids’ kicks.
