"When it comes to outrageous, barely there red carpet looks, no awards show does it better than the MTV VMAs - and 2025's event was no exception. This year, the celebrities brought their style A-game with lingerie-inspired looks, sheer dresses, and lots and lots of cutouts and sky-high slits. Held on Sunday, Sept. 7, attendees arrived at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, in their boldest, most boundary-pushing style."
"Proving that the VMA red carpet is the most playful of all awards shows, Doja Cat leaned into camp in a harlequin-print mini from Balmain with a plunging off-the-shoulder neckline encrusted in pink crystals. She also toted a bedazzled lipstick-shaped bag from Judith Leiber - worth an eye-whopping $6K - and took out an IRL red lipstick, applied an extra coat, and then proceeded to eat it. Casual."
"While most awards show guests typically avoid matching with the carpet, Sabrina Carpenter leaned into the crimson hue in a red-hot lace dress that was utterly diaphanous. She paired the intricate number with a lavender fur stole for a sophisticated, Old Hollywood take on "naked dressing." Meanwhile, other showgoers wore similarly stripped-down looks, like Tate McRae, who wore a completely diaphanous white gown that exposed her ruched underwear."
