We have come to expect the unexpected when it comes to the red carpet at the MTV Video Music Awards, and this year was no exception.

The one area of exaggeration came in the form of extreme hairstyles and statement jewelry. Here’s a rundown of some of the more memorable looks from last night’s awards.
