Sabrina Carpenter, Jessica Simpson, Megan Moroney heat up VMAs red carpet in sheer gowns
The MTV Video Music Awards featured red carpet appearances by Jessica Simpson in black tulle and Sabrina Carpenter in crimson Valentino ahead of her performance.

At the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, Sabrina Carpenter gave viewers a "taste" of what's to come.
As the "Tears" singer walked the red carpet in New York City, she donned a fuzzy pink stole wrapped across her arms and a sheer scarlet red couture Valentino gown.
Days after releasing her seventh studio album, "Man's Best Friend," Carpenter, 26, walked off the VMAs carpet with Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpson, and Megan Moroney before going backstage to prepare for her electrifying performance.
Jessica Simpson, who's set to perform at the Grand Ole Opry Tuesday, made a rare red carpet appearance wearing a sheer black corset with swatches of black tulle covering her body.
Megan Moroney rocked a Saulee halter top adorned with strands of rhinestones, and completed her look with a long white maxi skirt which included a thigh-baring slit. Before the telecast, Moroney took home the first Best Country VMA in MTV's history.
Presenter Paris Hilton wore a black leather The Blonds ensemble featuring flame appliques fashioned into a mini dress.
Ariana Grande opted for a strapless black-and-pink polka dot, custom Fendi gown complete with Swarovski jewelry.
Nicky Hilton opted for an ethereal baby blue number from the designers as she walked the carpet with her sister.
