Miley Cyrus is no stranger to pushing the envelope when it comes to fashion. So it makes sense that as the MTV VMAs host, her outfit changes would make heads turn and jaws straight up drop. We might not be able to pull it off, but Cyrus proves—confidence is key. (You do you, girl.)
1. Embellished Loincloth
The VMAs host hit the carpet barely-clad in this number.
2. Rainbow Sparkles
She hit the stage in this 70s-inspired rainbow outfit—with the embellished jacket and headpiece to match.
3. Mesh Cutouts
Enough said.
4. It's a Face!
The visor makes it, no?
5. Balloons
With a see-through base. Naturally.
6. Pink and Pasties
Miley tip: Always match your hair to your outfit.
7. Tinsel Coat
Miley looks like a holiday decoration meets a disco ball. And we love it.
8. Rainbow Brite
Yes, you can totally make a flag an outfit!
9. Disco Madness
More disco-inspired greatness.
10. Eye Spy
Get it? Miley hit the stage decked out in another skin-baring, colorful number before she dropped her free album.
11. Miss Piggy
That snout bow, though.
