Trying to wear the most shocking outfit at a red carpet event can be a risky sport. Miley Cyrus did her best in a provocative ensemble, while Ellie Goulding just looked silly in a D&G underwear dress. In the end, Iggy Azalea stole the headlines by flashing her genitals.

Luckily, there were some celebrities who decided not to compete in the Most Shocking Outfit category. We’ve already featured Katy Perry’s Zac Posen dress, but Laura Whitmore also left some things to the imagination in a strapless Fyodor Golan mini dress. The monochrome peplum dress flaunted her amazing figure, and she completed the outfit with Kurt Geiger shoes.

Laura Whitmore’s co-host, Louise Roe, donned a colorful Mara Hoffman Spring 2014 sweetheart-neckline printed top and skirt. The 31-year-old English television presenter, model, and fashion journalist completed the outfit with gold Jimmy Choo heels and a gold cuff.

Rita Ora wore a black silk halter-neck dress by Calvin Klein featuring cutouts and a daring thigh-high slit. While we are not big fans of the platinum wig, her sexy plunging v-neck was definitely one of the hotter outfits of the evening.

Finally, Ariana Grande was MTV’s backstage correspondent in a nude strapless frock from Mikael D’s Resort collection. While the same age as Miley Cyrus, the two actresses certainly don’t dress the same way. The 20-year-old American actress, singer, and songwriter styled her dress with sheer tights and black pumps.
