They’re among the most fashion-forward stars in showbiz.
And Taylor Swift, Gigi Hadid, and Bella Hadid led the red carpet style at the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards.
All three ladies hit a fashion high note as they made their way inside the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey on Monday, for a night of honoring the best music videos of the year.
Taylor rarely disappoints on the fashion front, and Monday was no different for the superstar.
The exceptionally stylish hit-maker legged her way down the red carpet in a pair of skin-tight black boots, accented with tiny glittering specks.
She teamed the ensemble with an extra skimpy hot pink romper, which was so small it could barely be seen beneath her long jacket.
The arty blazer brought an extra playful touch to the look.

Designed in a colorful pattern of gold buckles and pins, the boxy blazer cinched into her svelte waist while modestly dropping to her upper thigh.
Taylor was definitely not the only guest putting their wild style sense on display, with the red carpet becoming a who’s who of fashionable celebs.
