The 2024 MTV Video Music Awards took over New York’s UBS Arena, with the event delayed by a day to avoid a scheduling conflict with the U.S. presidential debate. All eyes were on the red carpet, as the VMAs once again proved why they’re known for bold, unforgettable fashion moments.
Several stars paid homage to past icons, with Madonna's legendary 1984 bridal performance of “Like a Virgin” inspiring many.
Addison Rae and Anitta embraced bridal-chic fashion, with Anitta stunning in a Dolce & Gabbana look complete with a veil and stilettos.
Sabrina Carpenter, nominated for Artist of the Year, dazzled in a vintage Bob Mackie gown famously worn by Madonna at the 1991 Oscars, offering a nod to the pop legend.
Nostalgia was a key theme on this year’s red carpet:
Halsey showed up in a vintage Versace gown previously worn by Elizabeth Hurley in 1996, while GloRilla sported a hairstyle inspired by Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes from TLC.
Taylor Swift channeled the 1990s with a modern Dior twist on the iconic yellow plaid look from Clueless, blending vintage and contemporary style.
Lil Nas X had social media buzzing, with fans comparing his bold, helmeted look to the 1990s Pink Power Ranger.
The red carpet, which was black this year, set the stage for plenty of goth-inspired looks:
Suki Waterhouse and Margaret Qualley embraced elegant goth in feathered black gowns from Dolce & Gabbana and Chanel, respectively.
Benson Boone kept the gothic theme alive with a lacy, see-through black top paired with intricately embellished shoes.
Host Megan Thee Stallion added her own twist to the classic little black dress, donning a corseted bodice with a dramatic flared skirt that created a standout silhouette.
Chappell Roan, nominated for Best New Artist, took goth-glam to another level in a floor-length Y/Project gown, complete with a cross pendant and striking chainmail gloves with extended nails.
The 2024 VMAs red carpet delivered a perfect mix of nostalgic tributes, daring style, and modern glamour, reminding everyone why this event is a fashion playground. Check out some of the most memorable looks below!
