We can count on the MTV Video Music Awards to bring some dramatic red carpet looks our way, and this year’s ceremony was one for the books. From Sabrina Carpenter’s dazzling archival gown to Taylor Swift’s Reputation-coded look, we’re bringing you the best fashion moment from this year’s show.

Sabrina Carpenter

Carpenter brought the Old Hollywood glam to the VMAs and shone brighter than ever in a shimmering white satin sequin gown with pearl and crystal embellishments, straight from Bob Mackie’s archives.

Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift picked up seven MTV Video Music Awards in a tartan Dior corset dress, which she paired with velvet shorts, a matching choker, over-the-knee boots, and dramatic cutout gloves.

Lisa

Lisa took the MTV VMAs by storm in her custom hooded gown by Mugler, which featured a corseted bodice, draped waistline, and dramatic gloves connected to the hood.

Halle Bailey

Halle Bailey was a vision in red at this year’s ceremony, and her shimmering Sophie Couture dress featured subtle cutout details and a playful fringe.

Megan Thee Stallion

Before hitting the MTV VMAs stage and making several outfit changes as this year’s host, Megan Thee Stallion walked the red carpet in a gravity-defying Nicole + Felicia gown with a daring deconstructed design.
