Yeah, you read that right. Charli XCX caught up with our Red Carpet Report host Rachel Antonoff to spill the tea on what she’s got under her Moschino by Jeremy Scott tiger-print jumpsuit. Spoiler alert: she’s a fan of #freethenipple. Be sure to watch Charli’s interview with Rachel below to see what her beef with underwear is.

There was no better option for a closing performance at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards than the queen herself, Beyoncé. On Sunday night (August 25), she took viewers on an emotional journey with a well-orchestrated medley from her recent, self-titled album, that ended with tears as she accepted the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award from her husband Jay Z.

What more could we have asked for?

Bey’s set began on a very emotional note, with the cameras zoomed in tightly on her face, as she sang “Mine” surrounded by dancers with porcelain skin, and slowly transitioned into “Haunted.” Her first few songs were the most soul-baring of the night, as she continued with “No Angel” and “Jealous,” emphasizing the weight of all those lyrics. And while those emotions came pouring out, the dancers around her went through several outfit changes, to fit the mood of each track.

By the time Bey got to “Blow,” things started to heat up. For this number, she and her dancers lined up cabaret style, with the word “Cherry” lit up behind her in neon letters (you know, “turn that cherry out”) and she really began to put her hips into it. With the lights hitting that bedazzled fitted bodysuit, it was nothing short of mesmerizing.

And, of course, when “Drunk in Love” came on the crowd really started to lose their composure. Bey was posted up on a set of steps, surrounded by dancers who were in headstands around her, ...

Not even three years old, and Blue Ivy Carter is already a VMA winner! OK, so the royal progeny of Beyoncé and Jay Z didn’t exactly take home an official Moonman at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards, but, um… SHUT UP. We’re still gonna award her this animated GIF.

You’re next, E.G.O.T.

It’s rare to catch 5 Seconds of Summer in anything other than their usual beat-up bands tees. Not that we mind! (Trust me—I really, really do not mind.) But tonight marked their very first VMA performance AND MOONMAN!, so they pulled out all the stops. And by “stops,” I mean they topped their usual black skinny jeans and worn-in Vans with some very expensive jackets and a little extra hair pomade.

Ashton paired his $2 bandana with a $1,530 Vivienne Westwood blazer. Impressive high-lowing. Not one to be outdone, Michael wore a checkered vest by Christian Benner, and while it was ~custom~, the NYC designer’s stuff usually runs a couple thou NBD. Calum’s Glamour Kills vest and Luke’s Topman jacket were way less expensive but exactly 0% less stylish and impressive.

Not that they knew what they had on. When Rachel Antonoff, MTV.com’s red carpet correspondent, asked what the boys were wearing, they said, “Clothes.” Which is, yes, a true statement. But that was pretty much the extent of their sartorial knowledge. But in a charming way.

Fear not, they were back in their beloved band tees for their performance, PHEW! So, if you were worried that they went and got fancy on you now that they’re winners of important awards, well, stop yer worrying.

Well, I knew it was going to be incredible when Beyoncé was honored at the VMAs with a Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, but nothing, absolutely nothing could’ve prepared me for tonight.

Even before she took the stage, fans were freaking out waiting for her to finally perform.

In order to keep up her own personal track record of exceeding any and all expectations that we even try to set for her, Bey performed a medley of songs from last year’s surprise album, BEYONCÉ. She clearly woke up with one goal: slay the VMAs.

But there are medleys, and then there are MEDLEYS. Beginning with the possessive relationship anthem “Mine” and hitting every single track off the record in some form, King B flawlessly flitted through as many dance and aesthetic styles from her visual album that she could work into the time allotted for her. Everyone lost it, the BeyHive was obsessed.

Her signature couch dancing move was included, the stripper pole moments, the rainbow neon sexiness of “Blow”—it was all there. Oh, then there was that moment when she was standing onstage alone with the word “feminist” emblazoned in caps lock behind her. That’s how you send a message, people.

Throughout the performance, it was almost possible to tear my eyes away from Bey to watch Blue Ivy and Jay Z in the audience, basking in the glow of their favorite superstar. Yes, that’s Blue doing those “Flawless” ...

Dang, y’all. If there’s one thing we love here at MTV, it’s bodysuits, and during tonight’s VMAs, we were #blessed with not one but two—all in the same performance. Iggy Azalea and Rita Ora sported head-to-toe Marco Marco spandex onesies complete with killer cut-outs and tons of rhinestones (as promised!).

For their beauty game, Iggy went for a slicked-back ’do, while Rita sported a blunt-banged bob–just like in their music video. (Also, please note how the backup dancers are covered entirely in mesh–like, even their faces.)

Up close, we can see Iggy’s picture-perfect smoky eye and nude lip combo.

…And on Rita as well! (Extra points for the Black Widow nails, girl.)

Together, we can see their web cut-outs in all their glory.

And finally, we can peep Iggy’s heels from behind–even though we know you aren’t looking at ’em. ;)
