    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.
