The 2025 MTV VMAs red carpet is here! Tonight, the annual awards ceremony—one of music’s biggest nights, aside from the Grammys—will hand out accolades to some of the buzziest musicians of the year, across competitive categories such as Artist of the Year and Album of the Year. The night will also feature a number of can’t-miss performances from artists such as Mariah Carey (who is receiving the prestigious Vanguard Award this evening), Doja Cat, Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter, and many more.
Before the ceremony kicks off, however, the red carpet affair will deliver plenty of memorable celebrity outfits to take in. After all, the VMAs has a history of encouraging bold and avant-garde looks. Remember the infamous Lady Gaga meat dress, or Lil’ Kim’s purple pasty back in 1999? Since its genesis in 1984, the VMAs always a place where fashion gives birth to pop culture moments—especially on-stage, where pop icons like Madonna, Britney Spears, and Christina Aguilera have all performed wearing matching wedding looks. What will tonight hold, meanwhile? Who can you expect on the 2025 VMAs red carpet? We are about to find out—but one thing you can count on is to expect the unexpected.
