The MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) have always been the arena where fashion meets fearless self-expression (remember Lady Gaga’s infamous raw meat dress from 2010?). The 2023 edition was no exception. As we celebrate four decades of unforgettable music moments, this year’s VMAs brought together a dazzling array of talent and style that left us in awe.

But before we get into the bressed dressed of the night, let’s look at the biggest winners. Taylor Swift and SZA led this year’s nominations with 11 and 8 nods, respectively. On the flip side, awards show featured electrifying performances by artists like Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, Future, Lil Wayne, Shakira, Diddy and Doja Cat, among others. Nicki Minaj, who co-hosted last year’s VMAs, took on the role of emcee once again.

Now, let’s talk fashion. From Olivia Rodrigo’s Ludovic de Saint Sernin dress adorned with Swarovski crystal mesh that practically outshone the moon, to Cardi B’s otherworldly Dilara Findikoglu dress that looked like couture armour, this year’s red carpet was a feast for the fashion-forward.

But that’s just the tip of the fashion iceberg! Join us as we take a deep dive into the 15 best-dressed celebrities of the night, where trends were set, boundaries were pushed, and the VMAs once again proved why it’s the hottest ticket in town.
