Who was the best-dressed of the 2025 MTV VMAs?

The MTV VMAs were held last night in NYC. One of the weird things about the music industry is that MTV’s importance and relevance has vastly decreased over the course of the past fifteen years, I would say. I can’t even really pinpoint it, but I would say it started happening when MTV became more of a reality-show and gameshow network and there were like no music videos on the channel, ever. As such, I wonder why they even bother with the VMAs at this point – it’s not like MTV even shows the videos they’re awarding. Anyway, you can see the list of this year’s VMA winners here – Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter and Ariana Grande were the biggest winners of the night.

Sabrina Carpenter wore Valentino on the red carpet. The dress makes her waist look especially snatched, but the mismatched boa is so dumb. I “get” Sabrina’s styling and the look she’s going for, and it’s fine. It’s nothing new.

Ariana Grande wore Fendi – this is awful??

Doja Cat in Balmain – sure, whatever.

Ciara in Schiaparelli – this is weirdly my favorite look of the event.

Lola Young in Chanel. I like Lola!

FKA twigs wore custom Matières Fécales. This is awful as well.

I did not even recognize Ashlee Simpson.

Lady Gaga wore Marc Jacobs. Well, it’s a look!
