The 2023 MTV Video Music Awards Fashion Looks Are Rivaling NYFW
You have to see Cardi B.
Taking place smack dab in the middle of NYFW, one would think that the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards would be easily overshadowed by the allure of spring runways and seasonal street style fashion. But one should never underestimate the power of the 39-year-old show, which is known for its ultra-bold, over-the-top fashion moments from some of the music industry’s biggest stars. Think about it: The VMAs has delivered iconic and historical red carpet moments that stand the test of time like Lil Kim’s infamous lavender jumpsuit and floral nipple pasty from 1999, Jennifer Lopez’s all-white bandana-topped pants outfit from 2000, and Lady Gaga’s meat dress from 2010.
It seems this year’s event is keeping the VMA’s style legacy going. The presenters, performers, and attendees truly went all out with their looks. Kicking things off on a high note is belle of the ball, Olivia Rodrigo, who wore a silver gown by Ludovic de Saint Sernin, looking every bit the Hollywood starlet. And then there was Megan Thee Stallion who embraced the sheer dress trend in a black corseted Brandon Blackwood number. In a quintessential VMAs moment, singer Anitta stopped traffic in an eclectic, cut-out Schiaparelli dress and mismatched earrings.
And that’s just naming a few. Ahead, the best A-list looks from the 2023 VMAs .
