The VMAs Red Carpet Was All About the Fashion—Check Out All the Stunning Outfits

      If I had to sum up VMAs fashion in just one word, it would be rebellious. The MTV Video Music Awards consistently provide a red carpet experience that sparks conversations for months to come. The 2025 VMAs are no different, featuring nominees such as Sabrina Carpenter, Ice Spice, and Tate McRae, who highlight that taking fashion risks is a crucial part of music's most exciting night. Following last year’s memorable moments—like Tyla's torn neon outfit or Sabrina Carpenter's crystal-embellished gown—this year's fashions are challenging the norms of bold style. The VMAs have a long-standing history of iconic red carpet moments, with celebrities pushing boundaries in a way that's rarely seen at conventional award shows. From Pamela Anderson's furry pink hat back in 1999 to Taylor Swift's hot pants and leather gloves in 2024, these instances are forever ingrained in pop culture. Ahead, we’re highlighting the notable fashion statements from the 2025 VMAs.
