VMAs 2023: The Best Dressed Celebrities from This Year's Red Carpet

ICYMI, the 2023 Video Music Awards were last night, and stars galore (many of whom we've spotted at New York Fashion Week) descended upon Newark, New Jersey's Prudential Center to celebrate one of music's most fun—and visually exciting—nights. The VMAs are notorious for being full of bold fashion risks, and last night's red carpet was full of plenty of those—but there were also plenty of classic glamour moments, leaving something for every taste. Scroll on to see all the best dressed celebrities from the 2023 VMAs.

Selena Gomez

Always a style icon on and off the red carpet, the "Single Soon" singer wore a beaded floral Oscar de la Renta gown in a stunning (and very on-trend) scarlet shade.

Olivia Rodrigo

Just days after the release of her album Guts, the musician continued her streak of incredible fashion moments in a custom Swarovski crystal gown by Ludovic de Saint Sernin.

Megan Thee Stallion

Playing into the sheer trend that's currently dominating the New York Fashion Week runways, the musician and champion Hot Girl arrived on the hot pink carpet in a black, corset-inspired Brandon Blackwood gown—then stole the show again later in the evening when she performed "Bongos" with Cardi B.

Sabrina Carpenter

The Emails I Can't Send artist (and current opener for the Latin American leg of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour) had a modern angelic aura in this custom Vera Wang look, which features a sparkly corseted bodice and a sheer white overlay.

Chloe Bailey

Nominated this year for best R&B video, the music artist turned heads in a textured blue Roberto Cavalli gown on the red carpet before presenting an award alongside sister Halle Bailey.

Dove Cameron

Before taking home the night's Video for Good award for "Breakfast," the star claimed her spot on countless best-dressed lists when she walked the carpet in this custom black sequined number by Coach.

Taylor Swift

It's Taylor Swift's year, and we're all living in it. The pop megastar has had countless viral looks lately, and when she hit the 2023 VMAs pink carpet, she continued the streak in an asymmetrical black Versace gown with gold buttons, plus tons of layered necklaces.

Ice Spice

Proving that sheer clothing just may have been the theme of the night, the Best New Artist winner embraced the trend in a white gown with lace-up detailing and matching fingerless gloves.

Shakira

Arguably the star of the night, the 2023 Video Vanguard winner stunned in a shimmering gold Versace gown with side cutouts.

Coco Jones

Quickly proving herself to be a fashion favorite after strong showings at the likes of NYFW and Cannes Film Festival, the musician served edgy glamour in a two-piece leather Moschino set featuring a belt bandeau top and maxi skirt.

Måneskin

The Italian glam rock band looked ultra-cool in matching all-black Rick Owens looks—plus, as big beauty fans, we have to give a shoutout to the dramatic extensions moments here.

Emily Ratajkowski

The VMAs are one of the best awards shows to have fun with fashion, and the model did just that in this vintage Jean Paul Gaultier moment, which featured a sheer green top and an abstract patterned skirt. She paired the gown with a sparkly Fendi bag.

Doja Cat

The always-stylish music artist—whose latest album, Scarlet, is out next week—took an avant-garde approach to the night's sheer trend in this webbed white gown by Monse.
