The 2024 MTV Video Music Awards are finally here, with rock legends and music icons gathering outside New York’s UBS Arena ready to honor this year’s winners for best video, best new artist, best collaboration, and so much more.

Between nominees Billie Eilish and Doja Cat to performers Chappell Roan, Benson Boone, and Teddy Swims, the September 11 affair will bring together several artists across multiple music genres throughout the night, and it all starts on the red carpet.

Every year, the MTV VMAs red carpet sees celebrities in a combination of big-name fashion brands and emerging designers. Whether they don a traditional evening gown, baggy suit, or denim and faux fur (circa Pink in 2000), artists love to present their playful personality in mod fashion for this particular awards ceremony, finding creativity within the lax dress code.

Last year, stars posed against a pink and black backdrop in odes to their distinct voice. Metallics seemed to dominate the scene with Olivia Rodrigo in Ludovic de Saint Sernin and Cardi B in Dilara Findikoglu, while dark shadows were cast by Bebe Rexha in The Uncommonist and Demi Lovato in Buerlangma.

From Megan Thee Stallion to Sabrina Carpenter, here are the best red carpet looks from the 2024 MTV VMAs.
