Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift graced the event in a far-from-basic little black dress by Versace, elevated by a daring thigh-high slit and intricate button detailing that spiraled around the gown. To complete her look, she layered a medley of necklaces. Not only has just announced the release date of 1989 (Taylor’s Version), which will be dropped on October 27, but Taylor also managed to make a memorable fashion statement at the VMAs this year.
Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez made a show-stopping entrance in a sheer gown adorned with elaborate floral and leaf motifs, courtesy of Oscar de la Renta.
Olivia Rodrigo
Only days after dropping her highly-anticipated second album, ‘GUTS,’ Olivia Rodrigo is slated to perform tonight. But before that, she stole the spotlight on the red carpet, dazzling in a glittering silver gown by Ludovic de Saint Sernin. As she shines in fashion, Rodrigo’s ‘GUTS’ continues to captivate audiences, proving she’s a force to be reckoned with in both style and substance.
Shakira
Shakira glimmered like a human disco ball in her backless gown, epitomizing glamour and excitement. She is the chosen recipient of the 2023 Video Vanguard Award, a well-deserved recognition for her transformative impact on the world of music videos. With unforgettable videos such as “Whenever, Wherever” and “Hips Don’t Lie” under her belt, this honor has been a long time coming.
Rita Ora
Rita Ora captivated the crowd in a striking black Rodarte gown, featuring exaggerated sleeves and ruched accents. However, it was her eye-catching, glitter-encrusted platforms that truly stole the show, commanding attention in their own right.
Cardi B
Channeling a Renaissance aura, Cardi B made her entrance on the rose-hued carpet enveloped in silver from head to toe. Although this aesthetic was initially specified by Queen Beyoncé for her Renaissance Tour, Cardi B adapted it stunningly in a gown designed by Dilara Findikoglu.
Doja Cat
Nominated for six awards tonight, Doja Cat ushered in the Halloween season with a gossamer cobweb-inspired gown from Monse. Her striking blood-red nails further amplified the ensemble’s eerie allure, complementing the daring, minimalist design.
Saweetie
What’s the advantage of scheduling the VMAs right after Fashion Week? The chance to showcase just-debuted designs, as Saweetie did with her ensemble that was recently featured on the Area runway. Beyond her impeccable fashion sense, Saweetie’s music is making waves across streaming platforms and TikTok, earning her a rapidly growing fanbase. Her tracks are not only chart-toppers but also viral sensations, capturing the imagination of listeners and content creators alike.
