The 2024 MTV Video Music Awards have arrived, bringing together legendary rock stars and music icons outside the UBS Arena in New York. They’ve come together to celebrate the winners in various categories, including best video, best new artist, best collaboration, and plenty more.
The event on September 11 will feature a variety of artists from different music styles, including nominees Billie Eilish and Doja Cat, as well as performers like Chappell Roan, Benson Boone, and Teddy Swims. The night will kick off on the red carpet.
Each year, the red carpet at the MTV VMAs showcases a mix of well-known fashion labels and up-and-coming designers. Celebrities express their unique style, whether they choose a classic evening dress, oversized suit, or a casual look featuring denim and faux fur (like Pink in 2000). This awards event allows artists to showcase their fun and artistic flair, taking advantage of the relaxed dress code to get creative with their outfits.
In the previous year, celebrities showcased their unique styles against a vibrant pink and black background. Metallic hues were prominent, with Olivia Rodrigo shining in an outfit by Ludovic de Saint Sernin and Cardi B dazzling in Dilara Findikoglu. Meanwhile, Bebe Rexha and Demi Lovato made a statement in darker looks from The Uncommonist and Buerlangma, respectively.
