This year's MTV VMA Awards ceremony held in Newark, New Jersey was a festive affair where dark skin women stood out as the protagonists of Monday evening's celebrations and salutations.

In addition to the electric performances given by our fave trailblazing female music artists, the red carpet gave us plenty to appreciate.
