Unforgettable Fashion Moments at the MTV VMAs 2023
Hey there, fashion aficionados!
As we dive into the aftermath of the MTV Video Music Awards 2023, one thing's for sure: this red carpet was a whirlwind of jaw-dropping looks, unique styles, and boundary-pushing ensembles. The VMAs have a knack for inspiring celebrities to let loose and have a blast, and this year was no exception. Hosted by MTV, it's an award ceremony that doesn't take itself too seriously, allowing stars to truly shine in their own fabulous, fearless way.
Cardi B is more than just "that girl"; she's a bona fide fashion icon. Her custom Dilara Findikoglu creation was a work of art, reminiscent of beautiful, customized armor that one might find in a fantastical world. The London Fashion Week runway piece, slightly modified, made for a show-stopping entrance.
Nostalgia met modernity in Emily Ratajkowski's vintage Jean Paul Gaultier number. A burst of vibrant colors took us back to a different era, while still maintaining Emily's distinct flair. It was a nod to the past, yet completely her own.
Daniel Roseberry's surreal Schiaparelli creations deserve more red carpet spotlight, and Anitta made an unforgettable case for it. With a daring keyhole cut-out and mismatched, eye-catching earrings, her look perfectly balanced the line between sexy and eccentric. It's the kind of outfit that leaves an indelible mark.
Olivia Rodrigo's Ludovic de Saint Sernin masterpiece was a dazzling affair, adorned with over 150,000 Swarovski crystals. With a penchant for '90s and early '00s vibes, Olivia effortlessly channels the era's casual glam, creating a look that feels effortlessly authentic.
Måneskin brought the sultry allure of Rick Owens to the red carpet, proving that platform boots can steal the show. Owens' otherworldly designs found a fitting, if surprising, home on the red carpet.
Megan Thee Stallion gave new life to the classic strapless sheer dress. Brandon Blackwood's creation, with its artful lines mirroring a corset, brought a fresh, contemporary twist to a red carpet staple.
Rita Ora graced the carpet in a black Rodarte masterpiece, exuding dark, ethereal fairy energy. The flowing sleeves and bat-wing effect perfectly captured the essence of the Mulleavy sisters' "fairies" inspiration. Paired with glittery Marc Jacobs boots, it was a look that was beautifully witchy and wonderfully weird.
Madelyn Cline's custom Givenchy ensemble radiated a special kind of allure. Ruching, corsetry, and an opaque skirt created the illusion of a naked dress, making a powerful statement without showing much skin.
Selena Gomez stunned in an Oscar de la Renta floral creation that transcended the casual floral trend. It felt like a series of red vines gracefully wrapping around her, giving a touch of whimsical elegance.
Taylor Swift, always one to exude confidence, lit up the red carpet in a slinky Versace gown with a thigh-high slit. It's a look that perfectly encapsulated her essence, a blend of allure and self-assuredness.
