What happens when you gather the music world’s best and brightest talent on Long Island? Sometime it ends in ruining the tour or a great episode of The Real Housewives of New York, but we mercifully hope that the 2025 VMAs will bring less trauma and more drama — in the form of fashion. Indeed, the VMAs red carpet is the place to test out a quirky, avant-garde look (see: Addison Rae’s swan moment) and turn right when everyone else is turning left (see: Taylor Swift in plaid Dior). ), Tate McRae, Jisoo, Rosé, Sombr, SZA, Lorde, Gracie Abrams, and many more. (Swift, unfortunately, will be leaving the orange at home and not attending.)
