VMA's 2025 Standout Style

After seeing some of the red-carpet looks at this year's VMA awards, we had to pick our favorites. This year’s red carpet was all about bold style, a little glamour, sparkle, and personality. From known stars to breakout fashion girls, these are the 9 best-dressed moments that brought style and, dare we say, a bit more elevated looks to the show.

Sabrina Carpenter lit up the carpet in a shimmering custom red Valentino gown, which we would have loved to see without the lavender feathers.

Jessica Simpson and OG to the red carpet was gorgeous in a figure-hugging black Christian Siriano gown.

Tyla put a twist on a Vintage Chanel runway look, wearing a booty-revealing short-cut dress.

Katseye (the global girl group) turned heads in perfectly coordinated Dolce and Gabbana .

Valentina Ferrer showed elegance in a plunging neck Elie Saab gown, here for the sleek sophistication.

Alix Earle perfection in a white Tom Ford mini dress with cut-out sides and sling back heels. This might be our #1.
