It was the ideal photo opportunity: Beyonce and Blue Ivy, mother and daughter, in matching feathered concoctions from offbeat designer Francesco Scognamiglio, strutting up the red carpet at the 2016 VMAs.

Fans came out to Madison Square Garden on Sunday night expecting to see the MTV VMAs. With 24 Moonmen amassed over the years, Beyoncé broke the all-time record for most wins at the Video Music Awards, surpassing Madonna, who has 20 Moonmen. She later closed the MTV VMAs with an emotional performance of “Stay”, “Diamonds”, and “Love on the Brain”.
The one and only Queen Bey was introduced by Serena Williams, who starred in one of the video segments of the Lemonade film. Kim Kardashian also opted for black as she posed with hubby Kanye West, casual in a white short-sleeve T-shirt and white trousers.
While she was not in the mood for posing, little Blue made everyone stop in their tracks in a glittery top with layered tulle train.
During “Hold Up” she danced in an all-black outfit swinging a bat and smashing the camera, reminiscent of the iconic images from her visual album.
The guys represented. Rapper Desiigner was bare-chested in a salmon suit, his eternally huge smile on his face and glittery chains around his neck.
DJ Khaled is bringing some major keys tonight to the pre-show as the host: The self-acclaimed king of Snapchat will be holding down the pre-show.
When people look back this year’s MTV VMAs, the first thing on the list will be Beyoncé’s barnburner of a performance.
