The biggest stars in music were ready to rock and roll as they made their way to the MTV Video Music Awards red carpet at the UBS Arena in Long Island, New York on Wednesday night.

Taylor, 34, is wearing Dior Resort 2025, with Lorraine Schwartz jewelry including 30 carats pear shaped canary yellow diamond earrings surrounded by black jade.
Sabrina Carpenter, 25, channeled Marilyn Monroe in her shimmering sequin silver gown, adding touseled locks and red lipstick on her pout, as she led the best dressed on the VMAs red carpet.
Sabrina is wearing vintage Bob Mackie from his 1991 collection – the same dress that Madonna wore to the 1991 Academy Awards – while she was channeling Marilyn as well.
Katy Perry, 39, flashed her flat midriff in a shredded white bralette and maxi skirt, rocking wet looking locks and sultry makeup.

‘Everything this man touches turns into happiness and find a magic so I want to thank him for adding that to our shoot because I will always remember that,’ she said.
