Despite its reputation for glitz and glamour, the star-studded 2024 MTV VMAs red carpet this year has been marked by several fashion missteps.
Addison Rae, 23, was among the stars who opted for head-scratching ensembles, as she turned up to the red carpet in a deconstructed ballerina look.
The Diet Pepsi hitmaker flashed the flesh in a pair of white high-waited underwear and a matching sculpted silk bra with boa feathers. The TikTok influencer teamed the revealing look with a tulle tutu that only covered her backside.
Anitta, 31, also failed to impress on the fashion front, wearing a bizarre bridal outfit consisting of a bustier-style mini dress with a tulle skirt and a white veil.
Thalia, 53, made a bold statement in a head-to-toe shiny gold look. The Mexican singer wore a mini dress with a matching train that was almost blinding.
Reality star Chanel West Coast, 36, was among the early arrivals at the event who topped the list of fashion fails.
The rapper donned a bizarre mini dress with a silver and white safety pin top, and an asymmetrical silver mesh skirt.
She paired the outfit with white mesh stockings and glittering silver heels.
The star further accessorized with a number of silver jewelry.
Tom Hanks‘ son Chet Hanks, 34, also sported an eye-popping look, wearing a red, black and white motorcycle jacket and matching pants.
He completed the outfit with chunky boots featuring white platform soles and laces.
Lil Nas X, 25, wore a Power Rangers inspired look. The rapper opted for a cropped pink and white motorcycle jacket with matching pants and a helmet.
Music’s biggest stars are back for another night of celebration at MTV’s legendary Video Music Awards.
This year’s festivities will be hosted by rapper Megan Thee Stallion and will be held at the UBS Arena in Long Island on September 11.
Stallion, 29, is herself nominated for five awards, including best collaboration and best hip-hop. She previously won best power anthem for Hot Girl Summer.
The evening will be a who’s who of music superstars with Sabrina Carpenter, Katy Perry, Camila Cabello, GloRilla, Rauw Alejandro, Benson Boone, Halsey, LISA, Lenny Kravitz, Anitta, Karol G, LL Cool J, and Shawn Mendes all set to perform at the show.
The MTV VMAs will air live on 8pm ET/PT.
This year’s recipient of the legendary Video Vanguard Award will be Katy Perry.
‘Katy is a musical powerhouse and true pop culture icon,’ said Bruce Gillmer, chief content officer of music at Paramount+ and president of music, music talent, programming and events at Paramount in a statement.
‘With her game changing creative vision, she has become a global phenomenon and taken over the world’s biggest stages,’ added Gillmer.
Past winners of the Video Vanguard Award include David Bowie, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake, Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, and Pink.
The award comes as Perry prepares to release her upcoming seventh studio album 143. Her comeback single from the album, Woman’s World, flopped in the charts following its release over the summer.
As for accolades, Taylor Swift is the most-nominated artist at the event with an impressive 10 nods to her name.
The hitmaker, 34, has the chance to make history as she could become the first artist to win Video Of The Year five times. She already holds the record for most Video of the Year victories with four trophies under her name.
Her collaboration with Post Malone, the track Fortnight, is up for Video of the Year.
Post Malone trails Taylor by just one nomination as he has earned nine total with most of them being from their collaboration.
The one nomination he received without Taylor’s assistance was for Best Collaboration for I Had Some Help, his track with Morgan Wallen.
Also up for six nominations are Ariana Grande, Sabrina Carpenter, and Eminem.
Like Megan Thee Stallion, SZA is up for five nominations.
Meanwhile, Olivia Rodrigo, Teddy Swims, and Blackpink member Lisa all tied with four nods each.
Finally Benson Boone, Anitta, Dua Lipa, Tyla, Bleachers, and GloRilla all have three nominations.
