Celebrities from the music industry walked the red carpet for The MTV Video Music Awards on Tuesday, making it a truly memorable night in Hollywood. What drew our attention to the red carpet was each celebrity’s outstanding sartorial choice.
Let’s dive right in and take a closer look at the best-dressed divas on the pink carpet at the Video Music Awards 2023.
Shakira
Shakira, who walked the red carpet looking like a goddess in gold, is first on our list. Her outfit included a sequin-soaked, front cut-out gown with an open-back detail.
Shakira sported a sexy cowl neckline and fitted bodice that complimented her sculpted body, adding a little flair to the silhouette. She also styled her blonde hair into soft curls and wore blush makeup.
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift is the epitome of grace. The queen, who has won nearly nine VMAs, walked the red carpet in a classic black gown. She wore a figure-hugging black Versace gown with a ruched effect that added to the gown’s feel. A thigh-high slit and a plunging neckline adorned this sleeveless gown with gold embellishments and a plunging neckline on the talented singer.
She finished the look with black strappy heels and gold earrings, a layered necklace, a matching bracelet, and stunning rings. This timeless black look is undeniably proof that the stunning singer is in her dark era, and we’re obsessed with it.
Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez looked stunning in an Oscar de la Renta vibrant red semi-sheer floor-length gown with a halter neck and plunging neckline. The exquisite design was inspired entirely by red plant vines and flowers. It had a beautiful corset-like body-hugging silhouette with lovely flowing elements beyond her exquisite waist.
This lovely ensemble also allowed her to show off her incredibly toned figure and legs. Her look was completed with red strappy heels and diamond studded earrings, a matching bracelet, and statement rings.
Doja Cat
Doja Cat, the mother of fashion experiments, looked stunning in a white Halloween-inspired hand-knitted spider web gown from Monse Maison, which was inspired by the famous artist Louise Bourgeois’ iconic Maman spider sculpture. This netted gown allowed her to show off her incredibly toned body.
The stunning diva finished the look with incomparable see-through sheer heels. She completed the look with silver layered hoops, studded dangling earrings, unique twisted matching bracelets, and exquisite rings. Her makeup was extremely creative, with fake brows, white eyeshadow, and a caramel lip gloss.
Cardi B
Cardi B’s high-octane red carpet gown was a creative take on a simple strapless number. The spiky texture exuded the rapper’s love for edgy fashion and was expertly styled with a pair of matching, half gloves. She completed her shiny makeup look with fuller lashes and a nude lip gloss.
Olivia Rodrigo
Olivia Rodrigo looked mesmerising in a Ludovic de Saint Sernin sparkly gown, which had a V-shaped neckline, a low back, a centre back leg slit, and 150,000 Swarovski crystals. She upped the ante with her shoes, wearing Roger Vivier metallic platform stilettos.
Rita Ora
The singer wore an off-the-shoulder black Rodarte gown from the brand’s fall 2023 collection. Long flowing sleeves give the outfit the appearance of bat wings, while the overall effect is that of drooping lilies.
Ora certainly serves a dark emo fairy fantasy that’s a little strange and witchy in the best way. Her Kiki boots from Marc Jacobs add a dash of sparkle.
Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj wore a pink in a stunning bridal-inspired ensemble that included a sleeveless fitted baby pink satin corset with a plunging neckline. She wore it with a matching sheer floor-length netted skirt in a fishtail design.
The talented diva finished the look with a sheer veil that covered her face and was embellished with delicate lace detailing at the edges. She finished off her look with matching pink strappy heels and accessorised with statement stud earrings, a matching bracelet, and elegant and shiny rings.
