On September 12th, we had a slightly less dreadful and stress-free Thursday, thanks to the stunning appearances at the MTV VMAs. These beauties (and the beast) delivered some show-stopping looks that brightened our day. While the fashion highlights are being talked about on Instagram and in L’Officiel’s September issue, here are some of the most memorable and favorite moments from the night.
Mother was Mothering and HOW!
Sabrina Carpenter dazzled us with her album Short N Sweet, but it was her track “Taste” that had us really buzzing. The real tea would have been whether Sabrina and Shawn Mendes crossed paths at the VMAs. But honestly, who cares about that when Sabrina’s fashion game was on fire? The pop sensation turned heads in a stunning white strapless gown dripping with sequins and crystals. And guess what? This isn’t just any gown—it’s a vintage Bob Mackie creation that once graced the legendary Madonna back in the ’90s. Madonna wore it to the 1991 Academy Awards, pairing it with a white fur boa, gloves, and a cascade of diamonds. Let’s just say Sabrina’s homage to Madonna gave Kim’s Marilyn moment a run for its money!
Tay-Tay’s Mentioning Green Flag Boyfriend
Oh, I bet you’ve already dropped a few stories on Instagram by now, especially after Tay-Tay gave a shoutout to her personal hype man, Travis Kelce! While accepting her award, she revealed, “I kept hearing this enthusiastic ‘woohoo’ from across the studio during our shoot, and it turned out to be my boyfriend, Travis.” Seriously, where do we find guys like that? Mother Swift, you’ve definitely scored a gem here—make sure to hold on to him tight. And hey, we’re all eagerly waiting for that wedding coverage!
Britney Spears: A Tribute Extravaganza
You’ve probably heard that Megan Thee Stallion hosted the VMAs 2024, but did you catch the epic Britney Spears tribute that took center stage? Megan dazzled everyone by channeling Britney’s unforgettable “Slave 4 U” look, complete with a live snake wrapped around her. Talk about a show-stopper! But that’s not all—Carpenter also gave a nod to Britney by using a clip from “Oops!… I Did It Again” in her mash-up performance. And let’s not forget Lisa, who brought her own Britney flair to the party. As she rocked the stage with her hits “New Woman” and “Rockstar,” she proudly sported a head mic—a must-have accessory for Britney’s live performances in the 2000s. Now that’s how you pay tribute!
Chappell Roan Ignites the Stage at Debut Awards Show
Chappell Roan’s debut at the award shows was nothing short of electrifying—she practically set the stage ablaze, and we’re not just talking about her fiery performance! Introduced by her drag queen idol, Sasha Colby, the “Hot to Go!” sensation kicked things off with a literal bang, launching a flaming crossbow at the castle backdrop. Decked out in full suit of armor, Roan dazzled the audience with a powerful rendition of her hit “Good Luck, Babe!” all while grooving alongside sword-wielding knights. As the final notes echoed, Roan struck a dramatic pose at the edge of the stage, and the crowd at the UBS Arena went wild with cheers.
