If the Grammys are music’s largest evening, the VMAs are undoubtedly its wildest, notably in terms of the style.
At MTV’s annual awards present, we’ve seen Rose McGowan shock viewers in a barely-there beaded costume, Lil’ Kim take the stage in a purple sequined jumpsuit and matching pasty, Britney Spears dance in a glowing nude mesh set and Christina Aguilera type a shawl as a skimpy high — all throughout the span of simply 5 years.
So, who stood out style-wise on 2025’s crimson carpet? Sabrina Carpenter introduced the warmth in red-hot Valentino, pairing her glowing, see-through lace robe with a fluffy lavender feather boa — maybe a sartorial nod to “The Lifetime of a Showgirl,” her upcoming collaboration with fellow pop famous person Taylor Swift.
Camp vogue icon Doja Cat paired her harlequin-patterned Balmain costume with perilously excessive platforms and — the playful pièce de résistance — a $5,995 crystallized Judith Leiber Couture clutch formed like an outsized tube of lipstick, from which she procured a tube of the particular make-up to use (and, later, eat) in entrance of photographers.
Ariana Grande traded Glinda pink for Fendi polka dots, trying fairly and polished as ever in her strapless peplum robe with an identical noticed scarf tied round her signature ponytail.
And each Tyla and Ciara selected to go away their pants at house for the night, with the previous in a classic Chanel corset high and the latter in a scarlet neoprene bomber by Schiaparelli.
