While everyone else was watching the red carpet at the MTV VMAs we wanted to know what was happening behind the scenes.

Over on Instagram it was shoe selfie vs. red carpet squad selfie. Here are our favorites of the night, from our favorite A-listers...

But Rita wasn't the only one dancing on the red carpet. Nicki Minaj also shared her award winning moves.

Gigi Hadid showed us her gold accessories to match her Emila Wickstead jumpsuit.

And Selena Gomez proved she has the best looking friends...

Pharrell joined the shoe selfie masses.

While Brooklyn Beckham asked his followers for fashion advice on his feed. Adorable.

And after a big night hosting, Miley Cyrus needed a rest. We think we need a lie down too.
