The VMAs 2020 kicked off the awards show season with powerful performances and unexpected red carpet looks. 

Despite the global pandemic, the annual awards show has managed to pull off a successful ceremony at various outdoor venues across the Big Apple. 

According to Variety, the producers chose to have "limited or no audience, adhering to all state and city guidelines."

Furthermore, aside from the pre-recorded performances, the celebrities had a chance to strut their unique ensemble for the 37th annual ceremony red carpet.

With that said, here are the top five unforgettable fashion moments for VMAs 2020.

The TikTok queen, whose real name is Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini, wore a barely-there nude bodysuit with silver and pink details on the side. She topped off the look with long wavy green hair. 

The Los Angeles-born artist wowed the viewers with her "Star Trek" look and a show-stopping performance. 

Doja Cat also took home her first moon person after winning the Best New Artist award.

Fluorescent Themed Outfit From Lady Gaga and Nicole Richie

If there's one common denominator among the celebrities for the VMAs 2020, it is the lime green gowns that screams "look at me."

One of Lady Gaga's outfits that caught the attention of the public was her massive green ball gown by Christoper John, which was inspired by the teal-colored Mountain Dew soda.

The "Save Your Tears" singer had a whole new approach to the VMAs 2020. 

The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, arrived at the red carpet donning a bruised and bloody face while wearing a red suit. 

According to reports, it was part of his visuals for his latest album, "After Hours."

It appears that his bizarre style paid off as he won one of the most significant awards, bagging the Video of the Year for his "Blinding Lights."

The 30-year-old artist also opened the ceremony from the roof of Edge NYC.
