The MTV Video Music Awards — also known simply as the VMAs — tend to lean towards the statement-making, in every sense: from the performances to the celebrity appearances to, of course, the fashion on the red carpet. And with a 2023 guest list that included Megan Thee Stallion, Cardi B, Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift, to name a few, you knew the looks would get people talking.
Without further ado, check out the best looks from the 2023 MTV VMAs, from Meg’s sheer corseted Brandon Blackwood gown to Olivia’s Swarovski-crystal-covered Ludovic de Saint Sernin number to Cardi’s ultra-embellished Dilara Findikoglu ensemble.
