When it's time to roll out the VMA red carpet, celebrity fashion is often just as entertaining as the main event. While there are some public figures who revert time and time again to classic, elegant fashions that will always make them look good, there are others who are more daring with their sartorial choices.
Most recently at the 2014 VMAs, one of the most unusual choices that popped up on the red carpet runway included Katy Perry and rapper Riff Raff arriving in marching all-denim ensembles, Taylor Swift's typographic blue romper and Amber Rose's super-revealing metallic chain dress. Whether you're a fan or not of these celebrities or their sense of fashion, these standout looks are the kind that will make you look and remember them.
