Doja Cat to Sabrina Carpenter: Who wore what to MTV VMAs 2025
Here's all the razzle-dazzle from MTV VMAs 2025.
The red carpet of the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) 2025 witnessed star power and sartorial drama as music icons stepped out in bold, eye-catching outfits. From different takes on sheer dressing to archival pulls, hair-raising accessories and gender-bent fashion, here are all the stand out looks from the evening.
A lacey affair
Singer Sabrina Carpenter went bold in a sheer, form-hugging crimson lace dress from Valentino that displayed her curves. She paid ode to old Hollywood, accessorising the full-sleeved outfit with a fuzzy purple boa. Channelling her inner Jessica Rabbit, her blonde locks were styled in loose, side-parted waves.
A harlequin hit
Rapper-singer Doja Cat brought the drama to the evening in a harlequin-print minidress from Balmain. The off-shoulder dress with a plunging neckline was embellished with pink crystals. Taking it up a notch, she also sported a lipstick-shaped clutch from Judith Leiber — and ate a tube of actual lipstick on the red carpet.

Taking the plunge
{{/usCountry}}Ricky Martin was too hot to trot on the red carpet in an unbuttoned silk shirt. The singer, who won the Latin Icon award, paired the shirt with high-waisted trousers and a statement neckpiece to round off the look.
Maritime Magic
Conan Gray served one of the boldest looks at the VMAs. The singer wore a ruffled dress, inspired by vintage sailor uniforms. The Eril Charlotte creation also featured exaggerated puff sleeves and a lace frill. He rounded off the look with a pair of white, blocky platform shoes.
Archival dressing FTW
Tyla turned a top from Chanel’s 1993 collection and into a cheeky minidress for the red carpet. Originally modelled by Claudia Schiffer, the singer restyled her archival look with a layered, chunky jewellery, a waist chain and black heels.
A twist on suiting
Singer-songwriter Sombr looked spiffy in a Valentino tuxedo with featured a jacket with embroidered lapels. Cinched at the waist, the blazer also featured a tasseled sash. He finished off the look with coiffed curls to complement the ensemble.
Braided headphones, anyone?
Singer-producer FKA Twigs’ custom-made Louis Souvestre fit and washboard abs grabbed eyeballs on the red carpet. But it was her braided headphones, created by celebrity hairstylist Louis Souvestre that stole the show.
