A Look at the Most Iconic MTV VMAs Looks of All Time

The red carpet at the MTV Video Music Awards is returning. 
The MTV VMAs, which will take place this Sunday, have produced many memorable red carpet moments. Since its debut in 1984, the celebrities at the VMAs have continued to stun fans and the red carpet with their head-turning outfits. From backside-bearing dresses to snakes as accessories, the VMAs perfectly captured the essence of the 1980s into the early Aughts.
During the 2010s, the VMAs became an awards show that boasted a more elevated palette of outfits, with long, ethereal dresses and form-fitting two-piece sets.
Additionally, some celebrities have even paid homage to famous outfits of others. In 2014, Amber Rose wore a backside-bearing dress as a tribute to the see-through dress worn by Rose McGowan in 1998. The same year, Katy Perry and Riff Raff wore matching all-denim outfits as a nod to Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, both of whom wore Canadian tuxedos to the American Music Awards in 2001.
Supermodel Cindy Crawford wore a bondage-inspired, all-black ensemble by Gianni Versace to the 1992 VMAs, a look that was later copied by her daughter, model Kaia Gerber, for her 18th birthday in 2019.
The ceremony has not just witnessed iconic fashion looks over

MAKE IT HAPPEN: Chiara Ferragni is being named today as the global brand ambassador for Swiss watchmaker Hublot.
She joins a star-studded roster that includes football legend Pelé, tennis champion Novak Djokovic, soccer star Kylian Mbappé and track and field champions Dina Asher-Smith and Usain Bolt, as well as France’s DJ Snake, who designed the latest limited edition of the watch firm’s Big Bang timepiece.

The digital entrepreneur was previously seen sporting the limited-edition Big Bang Millennial Pink unisex watch, designed by Garage Italia founder Lapo Elkann, which opened the door to a conversation with the brand.
“A fusion of passion and determination has shaped who I am, across all my roles, and forged the businesswoman I have become. This same fusion has also made Hublot the company it is today,” the digital entrepreneur said in a statement announcing her new role, expressing her appreciation for Hublot’s recognition of individual skills and pursuit of “dreams of innovation while respecting traditions.”

Reports: Kim Kardashian West Wears Balenciaga Wedding Dress at ‘Donda’ Listening Event

Kanye West appears to have enlisted soon-to-be ex-wife Kim Kardashian West for his recent “Donda” listening event.
Multiple outlets report that Kardashian West appeared alongside the rapper at Chicago’s Solider Field Thursday night, where he held his latest listening event for his upcoming album. The event was livestreamed, where viewers saw what appeared to be Kardashian West dressed in a Balenciaga fall 2021 couture wedding dress with a long veil covering her face.
The sartorial choice, while especially notable considering the couple’s current divorce proceedings, is not completely random given that West enlisted Balenciaga designer Demna Gvasalia as creative director for his “Donda” release events. West himself has worn pieces from the designer’s Balenciaga collections for his other “Donda” listening events, including a studded black jacket from the Balenciaga fall 2020 collection.
