Thirteen-time nominee Lady Gaga made an entrance in this grand Alexander McQueen gown comprised of brown, red, orange and green fabric that culminated in a tulle skirt. The pop star, who set a record that year — she was the most nominated artist in VMAs history in 2010 — topped things off with a feathered headdress.

Ne-Yo kept things sleek for his monochromatic moment. He rocked all gray — from his newsboy cap to his sneakers — at the 2020 VMAs.

Maria Menounos also kept things simple in an LBD. Hers featured thick straps and worked perfectly with her super-strappy black sandals. 

It was the peak of the "Twilight" craze in 2010, so Ashley Greene was in attendance at the MTV VMAs.

She completed her look with simple black heels.

It was a shimmering minidress for Victoria Justice, who donned a strapless frock with a pair of black peep-toe Christian Louboutins. She presented the best new artist Moonman to Justin Bieber alongside Romeo during the show.

Yikes! Comedian Dane Cook was in attendance in this sloppy ensemble — an ill-fitting white T-shirt under an oversized olive green jacket atop baggy jeans and sneakers.
