"You can always count on the MTV Video Music Awards to begin award season with a bang. Unlike the black tie attire of the Oscars or the Emmys, the VMAs' (unofficial) dress code tends to lean edgier and more experimental. It's the one where celebs reliably turn out looks that become unforgettable moments in pop culture. (See: Lady Gaga's meat dress, Lil Kim's lavender sequined jumpsuit and matching nipple pasty, and Rose McGowan's naked chainmail moment.)"
"The 2025 ceremony was no exception. Keeping in line with that fearless energy, stars embraced the naked-dress trend in barely-there, see-through looks, and their glam also rose to the occasion. Doja Cat understood the assignment, sporting perfectly '80s hair and makeup that she paired with a colorful, harlequin-print Balmain dress. Meanwhile, celebs like Ashlee Simpson and Haley Kalil threw it back to the early aughts with crimped hair (a trend that, BTW, is making a comeback this year)."
The MTV Video Music Awards showcased edgy, experimental red-carpet fashion and beauty that produced memorable pop-culture moments. The 2025 ceremony featured barely-there, see-through dresses and elevated glam looks. Doja Cat wore voluminous '80s-inspired ringlets, a bold red lip, sharp cat-eye, and a colorful harlequin-print Balmain dress. Ashlee Simpson and Haley Kalil revived early-aughts crimped hair. Paris Hilton sported smokier-than-usual eye makeup for a grunge-chic vibe, while Latto highlighted coral draped blush against a metallic gown. Lady Gaga presented a goth-chic aesthetic with black micro bangs, a red ombré lip, and burgundy eyeshadow.
