From Twerkgate to Her Unique Style Choices: Miley Cyrus Knows What's Good at the VMAs

On behalf of MTV, Taylor interviewed both Miley and Katy in "fashion central." All three were nominated for best new artist.

Miley attended the show with her mom Tish that year, although lost out the award to Tokio Hotel.

The singer arrived to the VMAs wearing Roberto Cavalli and the dress earned her a place on Rolling Stone's best dressed list.

Miley wasn't nominated for any awards that evening. Instead she presented best rock video along with Shaun to Foo Fighters for "Walk."

She attended the show with her sister Brandi Cyrus. Like 2011, she wasn't nominated.

The pair introduced Pink's mashup performance of "Get the Party Started" and "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)."

Mike Will Made It is the producer of Miley's song "We Can't Stop," which was nominated for best female video, best pop video, best editing, and song of the summer that year.

After her performance of "We Can't Stop," she stripped down to a latex two-piece and twerked on Robin Thicke as he performed "Blurred Lines." She later told MTV that she "doesn't pay attention to the negative" and both she and Robin knew they were going to make history with the performance.

Miley took a moment for a picture with Sam Smith, who was nominated that evening for best male video and artist to watch for "Stay With Me." He also performed the song during the 2014 VMAs.

Miley won video of the year for "Wrecking Ball."

She wore a custom Versace silver harness-like top and skirt as she arrived at the 2015 awards.

She wore a jumpsuit by The Blonds.

After Nicki won best hiphop video, she turned to Miley and said, "Back to this b*tch that had a lot to say about me the other day in the press. Miley, what's good?" To which Miley responded, "Nicki, congratu-f*cking-lations."

She dared to be square in a piece by Agatha Ruiz de la Prada.

At one point during the show, Miley described the VMAs red carpet as "Christmas in August" so it was only fitting she wore a custom Prada tinsel jacket.

Miley's Fifth Elemente-esque vinyl dress was by Mamadoux.

Much like her red carpet look, Miley's dotted ensemble was custom Versace.

Miley showed her love for Versace during her hosting gig, wearing a Versace Medusa pink bra and metallic pink tuxedo pants.

Switching things up from Versace, Miley changed into a full-mirror look designed by Prada.

Miley performance was introduced by members of the Happy Hippie Foundation, which is a nonprofit organisation founded by Miley that fights injustice facing homeless youth, LGBTQ youth, and other vulnerable populations. During her performance, she was supported by famous drag performers wearing custom BCALLA.

The 2015 award was designed by Jeremy Scott and would be renamed to "Moon Person" in 2017. The singer hosted the 2015 awards and wasn't nominated.
