Miley Cyrus and the MTV Video Music Awards go together like thunder and lightning — with her, there’s going to be a show AND a lot of reaction.

Compared to last year’s Dolce & Gabbana crop top and leggings set, Miley kept it classy at the 2014 VMAs in black bandeau top and high-waisted leather pants. The singer’s platinum blonde pixie and neutral makeup completed her chic, edgy look.
