MTV always inconveniently hold their annual Video Music Awards at the same time as Fashion Week. How much red carpet glamour can a fashionista take when the catwalks are already taking up all of her time?

Luckily, this year it was all about one person…Britney Spears. After her car crash performance of ‘Gimme More’ during her last VMA appearance, the former teen queen had a lot to prove. And prove it she did. Though she didn’t perform this year, she did take part in a skit and show up in a sparkling silver Atelier Versace dress (with decent hair extensions for once) that reminded us of the ‘old’ Britney we all know and love.

One standing ovation and three wins later, it looked like her crown was firmly back in place.
