We can count on the MTV VMAs to give us a quite memorable red carpet, and this year’s ceremony certainly delivered. From method dressing and dramatic hoods to dazzling, silver gowns, here are five trends that stole the show at this ceremony.

Dramatic Cutouts

Dresses with dramatic cutouts were all the rage at this ceremony, and we’ve seen everyone from Katy Perry and Paris Hilton to Tinashe and Halle Bailey embrace this trend.

Method Dressing

Several stars have given us “method dressing” vibes at this year’s MTV VMAs. Taylor Swift’s Dior dress was very Reputation-coded, while Camila Cabello’s goth bride gown was a clear nod to her song “Godspeed”.

Silver Vibes

Silver was the most popular color ruling the red carpet at the MTV VMAs. Paris Hilton, Coco Jones, Sole Oceanna, and GloRilla were some of the stars rocking silver at this year’s ceremony.

Make It Shine

Shimmering dresses in general were all the rage. Sabrina Carpenter gave us the best look of the night in her vintage Bob Mackie gown, but Halle Bailey and Flo Milli were right behind.

Hooded Gowns

Hooded gowns were also having a moment at the MTV VMAs. Lisa, Camila Cabello, and Anitta were some of the stars putting this trend on the map.
