Whenever we hear that Rihanna is set to grace an award show with her presence we try to imagine what she’ll do next when it comes to style – yet we’re never quite ready for what the Badgal will bring to the table.

True to her M.O., Rihanna opened the 2016 VMAs in an all-pink get up that made our ’90’s hearts smile.

The MTV Michael Jackson Vanguard Award honoree was clad in a Hood by Air bodysuit, belted high-waist pants with cut-outs and fuzzy sneakers giving us major TLC mixed with Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century vibes.

Considering the fashion icon is set to perform 3 times throughout the show, this killer look is simply an appetizer for what’s to come.

However we all know that there are some appetizers worthy of being the full-course meal and this is definitely one of those situations.

In short, Rihanna did it again.
