The biggest stars come out for the event, even those who have nothing to do with the music industry. 

As usual, the stars come out looking fly as ever. Many of the hottest came out to show out. To kick things off, MTV made sure to bring out the woman who's carried the entire summer: Megan Thee Stallion. Not only did she come out to perform but she also didn't leave empty-handed. Considering it is a Hot Girl Summer, her new single featuring Nicki Minaj and Ty Dolla $ign also got Megan her first moon man for Best Power Anthem.

A few other familiar faces hit the red carpet as well. Rick Ross, Big Sean, Lil Nas X, Safaree Samuels, JuJu, H.E.R., Ice-T, Diplo, and more showed face on the red carpet.
