The MTV VMAs may be about music, but let’s be honest—nobody’s logging in to argue about Best Direction. We’re here for the red carpet chaos, the fashion risks, and the few people who actually get it right. Last night in New York, the stars served us everything from couture-level drama to outfits that screamed, “My tailor quit halfway.” Let’s talk looks.
Ice Spice
Ice Spice came through like the baddie she is in vintage Ralph Lauren—specifically a strapless Victorian-inspired bustier paired with a patchwork Y2K skirt from Spring 2003. It’s giving “if Bridgerton threw a house party in the Bronx.” A risky mix, but she ate it up.
KATSEYE
Lara Raj, Megan, Manon, Sophia, Daniela, and Yoonchae of KATSEYE understood the assignment: coordinated yet individual. Their Dolce & Gabbana Spring/Summer 2025 runway looks were bold, sparkly, and personality-driven. It’s giving girl group synergy but make it couture.
Lady Gaga
No red carpet entrance this year, but Gaga still managed to flex. She pulled up in a Marc Jacobs Fall/Winter 2025 floral lace embroidered gown with a matching headdress. Not as iconic as the meat dress (let’s be real, nothing ever will be), but it’s still Gaga’s hall-of-fame energy. The woman simply doesn’t miss.
GloRilla
Leave it to GloRilla to make school-girl preppy look dangerous. Her Helen Anthony plaid bustier dress and matching blazer were sharp, chic, and lowkey intimidating. Bonus points for accessorizing with a hot pink Versace bucket bag—because why not?
Doja Cat
Doja said, “Who needs red carpet rules when you can snack on your lipstick?” In a Balmain mini, Chopard jewelry, and skyscraper Pleaser platforms, she turned the VMAs into performance art. The lipstick bite? Chaotic. Campy. Iconic. We’ll never know if it was scripted—and that’s the beauty of it.
Sabrina Carpenter
Valentino custom. Tiffany & Co. diamonds. A bouncy blowout that could star in its own shampoo commercial. Sabrina floated onto the carpet in sheer perfection designed by Alessandro Michele. This is old Hollywood glam for Gen Z, and honestly? She nailed it.
Tate McRae (Worst Dressed)
Tate went for “Medusa chic” in a Ludovic de Saint Sernin sheer gown. Translation: underwear on display and vibes unfinished. She called it snake goddess, but we call it laundry day couture. A miss.
Tyla (Also Worst Dressed)
Trying to turn a top into a minidress was just not a good idea. Straight out, not good. The model wore the original Chanel look as a top for a reason. Adding extravagant Pandora Talisman jewelry didn’t save it—it just highlighted how unfinished the whole vibe was.
Final Verdict
From Gaga’s couture crowning to Doja’s lipstick crunch and Tate’s questionable sheer choices, the 2025 VMAs delivered what they always do—chaos, camp, and a few unforgettable fashion moments. Music may bring the awards, but fashion steals the storyline.
