The MTV VMAs have kicked off with the kind of edgy red carpet display you can expect from 2024’s most glittering pop sensations. With Chappell Roan and Lisa from Blackpink among the early arrivals, the style bar was set quite high.
The MTV Video Music Awards celebrates the visual accomplishments of your favourite musicians, i.e. whoever made the best music video this year. Naturally, Taylor Swift is the most nominated artist of 2024, with 12 VMA noms. Her Fortnight collaborator, Post Malone, follows closely with 11. Meanwhile, other faves like Sabrina Carpenter, Charli XCX, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, Olivia Rodrigo and Lisa all have multiple noms as well. With that in mind, we’re keen to see what each brings to the red carpet. Here’s all the looks as they roll in…
The MTV VMAs Red Carpet, 2024
Chappell Roan
Never one to shy away from a dress-up theme, Chappell Roan arrived channelling The Lord Of The Rings with a velvet cape and sword. Her sheer dress was designed by Y/Project, and paired with a gothic cross necklace, it’s somewhat reminiscent of Madonna’s Ray Of Light era.
The ‘Midwestern Princess’ will perform at tonight’s ceremony.
