The 11 Best-Dressed Celebrities at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards
From Tyla to Chappell Roan
The MTV Video Music Awards red carpet may not have the same stature as its counterparts at the Oscars or Cannes, but it certainly brings its own category of drama. For decades, the VMAs have served as a breeding ground for iconic celebrity looks. Calling the ceremony’s style irreverent would be a bit of an understatement, considering that guests’ attire throughout the years has included sequin nipple pasties and meat dresses.
This year was no different, and stars showed out in their most provocative looks. The 2024 VMAs red carpet brought us Chappell Roan in custom Y/Project, Anitta in custom Dolce & Gabbana, and Lisa in vintage Mugler. Below, find our favorite fashion moments of the night.
Addison Rae
It takes confidence to wear something this bare to an event—but it also takes fashion-savvy, since this look is from insider-beloved designer Claire Sullivan, who is herself known for wearing tutus around NYC.
Lenny Kravitz
Is Lenny Kravitz wearing leather to yet another award show? Of course. And does he look amazing? Also of course.
Camila Cabello
This Tony Ward Couture gown is giving goth princess, and it’s working.
Meghan Thee Stallion
It was a night of outfit changes for the VMAs host—including an homage to Britney’s “Slave 4 U” snake costume—and Meghan kicked it all off with this elegant Nicole + Felicia gown.
Margaret Qualley
This is the rare VMAs look that would make just as much sense at the Oscars. It’s understated, but it suits Qualley’s subtle-yet-feminine personal style.
Anitta
Her custom Dolce & Gabbana dress landed somewhere between bondage and bridal, bringing the drama we’ve come to expect from the Brazilian superstar.
Katy Perry
She’s been trying to strike an edgier note lately, and this Who Decides War two-piece is doing an excellent job of getting the point across.
Chappell Roan
The Midwest Princess got medieval in a Y/Project dress that she accessorized with a huge cross, armored wrist-cuffs, swordlike nails, and an actual sword.
Tinashe
The woman who asked the whole world to match her freak wore a two-piece by Rick Owens, perhaps the expert in fashion freakiness.
Lisa
A hood! Gloves! A corset! There were a lot of different elements to this Mugler look, but they all came together beautifully.
