Here’s our breakdown of the most striking looks from this year’s VMAs, according to VoirFashion:

Lisa From BLACKPINK: Nude Elegance In Custom Mugler

Lisa stole the show in a custom Mugler corset gown from the Spring/Summer 2025 collection by Cadwallader. This “naked” nude, hooded dress was nothing short of fabulous, combining Mugler’s signature avant-garde sensibility with Lisa’s edgy yet elegant aura. The intricate embroidery added a touch of high fashion that elevated her look to new heights.

Camila Cabello: Gothic Goddess

Camila’s transformation from blonde to dark brunette was nothing short of magical, thanks to the expert hands of hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos. Channeling a dramatic “espresso martini” vibe, she stunned in a gothic, electric Tony Ward Couture dress from the latest SS 2024 collection. The black, cross-chain accents, styled by Katie Qian, added an extra layer of intrigue to her already striking presence.

Megan Thee Stallion’s Glamorously Hot Girl Summer

As the host of the night, Megan Thee Stallion brought the ultimate dark queen energy to the red carpet. She wowed in a custom corseted mermaid gown with an exaggerated taffeta train by Nicole + Felicia Couture. The structured bodice, complete with intricate boning, accentuated her hourglass figure, while her glamorous Lorraine Schwartz jewelry added the perfect finishing touch. Hot Girl Summer has never looked so glamorous!

Halle Bailey: Red Carpet Radiance In Sparkling Scarlet

Halle Bailey was the epitome of “lady in red” in a breathtaking, hand-beaded signature dress by Sophie Couture. The fiery red hue perfectly complemented her slicked-back braided hair, giving her an effortlessly chic and radiant look. Halle’s appearance was a masterclass in how to blend sophistication with personal style.

Anitta: A Twisted Bridal Fantasy

Anitta embraced a bridal-inspired, all-white aesthetic with a sultry twist, courtesy of Dolce & Gabbana. The Brazilian sensation walked the carpet in a lingerie-style dress, complete with a matching sheer veil. Styled by Al herself, the look was immaculate and impossible to miss—a bold yet elegant choice that certainly made her stand out.

Tinashe: Grunge Muse In Rick Owens

Tinashe channeled a grunge-inspired vibe in a Rick Owens ensemble. Her torn, asymmetrical top paired with a matching skirt gave off a raw, rebellious energy. She completed the look with long blonde braids, adding a sleek, feminine touch to the overall edgy aesthetic. Effortlessly cool and undeniably chic.

Muni Long: Royal Renaissance Revival

Muni Long, the R&B songstress with a voice as smooth as velvet, stepped onto the VMAs red carpet like a queen in her dramatic purple ensemble. Playing off her hit lyric, “Twin, where have you been?” from “Made for Me,” she was undeniably in the right place, turning heads in a Savage x Fenty lingerie set, elevated with Alexis Bittar accessories and a stunning parure from Pacharee. Her look, styled by Hannai Sasksson, was the perfect balance of regal and daring, complementing her suave R&B presence.

Katy Perry: Galactic Glamour

Katy Perry stepped out in a “Vanguardians of the Galaxy” look, blending sci-fi chic with avant- garde fashion. Her distressed, futuristic dress from Who Decides War’s Spring 2025 collection had an ethereal, otherworldly feel. The wet, wavy hairstyle by celebrity hairstylist Jesus Guerrero completed the look, making Katy’s appearance one to remember.

Lizzo

Executed by celebrity MUA Alexa Mayo, Lizzo’s stunning glow could largely be owed to Charlotte Tilbury, utilizing the brand’s Glow Toner, Magic Cream, and Magic Serum Crystal Elixir to prep her flawless skin. Lizzo’s bold blue lips were formulated using both Rock ‘n’ Kohl in Bedroom Black and Eye Colour Magic Liner Duo in Super Blue, proving the perfect partner for her subtle smokey eye that made use of the Instant Eye Palette in Smoky Eyes are Forever and Pillow Talk Push up Lashes Mascara. To top it off, her sleek hairstyle was created by Shelbeniece Swain, using GHD’s products to achieve an effortless, blunt cut look.

After blowing out and curling her hair, Hairstylist Lace Assassin used Smooth & Hold Edge Control to slick back Latto’s edges, pulling the hair into a low pony before securing it with a claw clip and topping it off with Roses Galore Perfume. When it came to nails, Eri Ishizu used square shaped, medium-length soft gel tips, coated in a light nude and complimented by french chrome tips using an Instant Chrome Pen in shade Silver Holographic.

Wearing matte black grills, Doechii took her edgy ensemble to the next level at this year’s VMA awards. Hairstylist Dhairius Thomas did not only sweep her hair into a spiky bun, but elevated her look by parting the front of her hair to the side, a fierce decision that combined the classic with the contemporary when it comes to the latest trends. Doechii’s seamless smoky eye pulled the entirety of her look together, complimenting her razor-sharp, structured leather co-ord styled by Malu.

Lil Nas X

Makeup Artist Grace Pae used a plethora of YSL beauty products to piece together Lil Nas X’s decadent makeup look, designed to accompany his theatrical garments designed by Harris Reed. From Nu Blotting Lotion to Nu Bare Look Tint in Nu 19, Lil Nas X had a fresh, dewy complexion that remained flawless under the flashlights. To voluminize his lashes and draw attention to the eyes, Lash Clash Mascara and Crushliner #1 Noir Intense were applied, layered with Sequin Crush Eyeshadow in Bold Blue for an unforgettable finish. Göt2be’s Metallic in Blue Charcoal helped Coree Moreno create a blue-black tone atop Lil Nas X’s previously coloured hair, whilst manicurist Temeka Jackson used OPI’s products in shades Bubble Bath and Black Onyx to create geometric nail shapes that were destined to catch our eye.

The post A Guide to Replicating The Top Five Best Beauty Looks at This Year’s VMA’s appeared first on Voir Fashion.

Anitta 

Brazilian singer Annita stunned in a beautiful red ensemble by Schiaparelli. The velvet skirt with the asymmetrical silk corset and heart pendant was actually the closing look from the brand for FW22, and it certainly brought the house down again last night. Anitta didn’t only impress on the red carpet, however, becoming the first Brazilian artist in history to win an award at the VMAs with her win in the best Latin category.  

Lizzo 

If there’s one thing we know about Lizzo, it’s that she always brings it to the VMAs. Donning a theatrically elaborate, navy gown by John Paul Gautier, Lizzo’s dress might just be the *gasp* moment of this year’s red carpet. After all, who said couture is just for the runway? Styling her hair in the wet, slicked back look that fashion has come to love, alongside multiple hoop earrings, navy gloves, a lip ring and a dark navy lipstick, Lizzo brought us a look that was equal measures drama and edge, and we love it.

Shenseea 

Jamaican native Shenseea may have missed out on her award last night after being nominated for ‘Push Performance of the year’, but she certainly did not miss on the red carpet. Styled in a glimmering 1920s meets Studio 64 ensemble by Marc Jacobs, Shenseea looked classic and glamorous and certainly caught our attention.  

Latto 

Latto made quite the statement this year in a neon green, mini blazer dress with a plunging neckline, cutouts, and a round, gold clutch. The southern ‘It’s Giving’ rapper who first made waves with her win on ‘The Rap Game’ in 2016 was featured in an ad with Burger King for the awards which seems appropriate given the fact she ate.  

Ashley Graham 

Model and new mother Ashley Graham stunned as she displayed her world-famous curves last night in a revealing black, cut-out dress from Houghton by Katharine Polk. Accessorising with loose, flowing waves and a sultry, smoked eyeshadow, Graham and her stretch marks looked absolutely breathtaking last night and definitely inspires us to ‘show it all’ as well.  

Taylor Swift 

Taylor Swift and chaos at the VMAs go hand in hand, after all, who can forget the infamous 2009 Kanye West incident (and the decade of drama that followed)? Bagging her third ‘Video Of The Year’ award (breaking the record for most wins at the VMA in that category), and announcing her new album Midnights, this year has been no different. Taylor swift didn’t just shine through her achievements though, absolutely glimmering in a 1920s-inspired, bejewelled halter gown by Oscar De La Renta. 

Kerrie Colby 

Drag superstar Kerrie Colby, who you might know from the 14^th season of Rupauls Drag Race, served in a futuristic Mugler body suit in red with mesh cutouts and matching red waves – accentuating her never-ending legs and sensual frame. Kerri tweeted that this was a childhood dream come true in sooooo many ways’ and we’re just glad we got to witness it. 

Doechii 

‘Persuasive’ rapper Doechii was giving Lil Kim this year in a bold leather blazer with a matching mini skirt, including a plunging neckline, statement collar and adorable bejewelled teddy bear bag. The look is a futuristic mix of The Matrix and Blade and has certainly persuaded us to consider a swamp princess fall.  

Sofia Carson

Former Disney star Sofia Carson blessed us with this elegant, all-black gown designed by Caroline Herrera. The dress features an oversized hood and sweetheart neckline paired that she paired with statement spike earrings and a simple, slicked-back bun. Is anyone else getting Audrey Hepburn vibes?

Becky G 

Last but by no means least, Becky G looked absolutely divine in a floor-length Zuhair Murad gown, and we dare call it our favourite look of the awards. This glimmering couture gown included a medieval-inspired beaded tapestry and vertical cuts outs framing the sides of her figure (we’re sensing a theme). Combined with a classic red lip, loose waves and some stilettos, this is truly a beautiful ensemble.

The post Justin Bieber and Megan Thee Stallion Take Lead in This Year’s VMA Nominations appeared first on Voir Fashion.

Since the 1980s, the MTV Video Music Awards (also known as VMAS) have been the stage of memorable performances by the greatest artists in music, such as Michael Jackson, Madonna, Beyoncé and Britney Spears. In the past, these stars have dominated the show, giving us some of the most iconic pop- music moments.

This year, with the event taking place completely outdoor maintaining social distance, the VMAS will have a new setlist of performers which includes Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, Miley Cyrus, Maluma, Doja Cat and more. We are certain that their exhibitions will live up to fans’ expectations and make the night unforgettable. In the meantime, here are some of the most remarkable performances of the last two decades.

Miley Cyrus, Robin Thicke – ‘We Can’t Stop’/ ‘Blurred Lines’ (2013)

After years of struggle to claim her independence, Miley transitioned into a new phase of her life and, consequently, her music changed with it. Perhaps, you may remember this performance not for the singing itself but rather the over the top twerking. Once Robin Thicke hopped on stage, things got a weird turn as Miley started ‘rubbing’ on him. It sure was a shocker performance that night for the audience.

Britney Spears – ‘I’m a Slave 4 U’ (2001)

Matching the sexy vibes of ‘I’m a Slave 4 U’, Britney’s jungle-themed performance saw the singer in a tropical attire and belly button. But after coming out of a cage and dancing for over two minutes, she walked around the stage with a giant yellowish python around her neck like an accessory. This performance went down to be one of her best ones.

Beyonce – ‘Love On Top’ (2011)

Shining from the centre of the stage in her tux-inspired suit, Beyonce started her performance of ‘Love On Top’ belting out ‘I want you to feel the love growing inside of me,’ an iconic quote that shocked both the Internet and the audience. But if this wasn’t enough to hint to a possible pregnancy, she revealed it herself at the end of the song: after dropping the mic and unbuttoning her jacket, Beyonce winked and rubbed her belly with a big smile.

Taylor Swift – ‘You Belong With Me’ (2009)

Still rocking her country girl style, the young Taylor first took over the uptown subway station singing her hit single ‘You Belong With Me’ through a crowded coach with her famous red dress. She later was joined by a jumping crowd outside the Radio City Music Hall as she continued to sing on top of a car.

Lady Gaga – ‘Paparazzi’ (2009)

Fresh from the release of ‘Paparazzi’, Lady Gaga put on a quite dramatic performance which replaced the video’s fall with a dripping faux blood epilogue. Dressed in all white, Gaga sang, danced, and played the piano. Mother Monster finished the performance after being strung up from the ceiling covered in fake blood. That moment left the audience with a gasp in their mouth.

Chris Brown & Rihanna – ‘Wall To Wall’/ ‘Umbrella’/ ‘Kiss Kiss’ (2007)

Opening the show with a Charlie Chaplin tribute, Chris Brown took over the stage dancing and singing his 2007 hit ‘Wall To Wall’. Switching from stage to stage, he was later joined by Rihanna: rocking a sexy black ensemble, the singer strutted down the stage singing her smash hit ‘Umbrella’. The performance then continued with Chris Brown honoring Michael Jackson with some of his most famous moves like the moonwalk on the notes of his song ‘Kiss Kiss’.

Madonna, Missy Elliott, Britney Spears & Christina Aguilera – Medley (2003)

Channeling the original 1984 performance, the new princesses of pop performed in a medley of ‘Like a Virgin’ by Madonna as they strutted down in wedding dresses from a huge cake. But the show heated up as soon as Madonna herself came out of the cake joining Spears and Aguilera for a rendition of ‘Hollywood’. As if that wasn’t enough, she shared a kiss with both singers that had the audience stunned. Last but not least, Missy Elliott joined them afterward setting the act to become one of the most memorable moments in VMA history.

Jessie J, Nicki Minaj, Ariana Grande – Medley (2014)

As the opening act of the 2014 VMAs, Jessie J, Nicki Minaj, and Ariana Grande didn’t fail to impress the audience. Starting off with a bang, Ariana took us to space rocking a silver sparkly spacesuit in the first-ever live performance of ‘Break Free’. After her spaceship took off, Nicki Minaj appeared in a jungle-themed stage and outfit to perform her hit ‘Anaconda’. The booty-shaking performance was then followed by Jessie J who kicked off the beginning of their smash collaboration ‘Bang Bang’. Under thousands of flashing lights, the singer was joined by Ariana and later Nicki who had undergone some quick costume changes. Their performance set a bar for the 2014 VMAs which was hard to overcome.
