The MTV Video Music Awards are back in New York City, bringing the glitz and glamour of music’s biggest night to UBS Arena. This year’s ceremony, hosted by the dynamic Megan Thee Stallion, kicks off at 6 pm ET with the highly anticipated red carpet. Get ready for a night filled with captivating performances from rising stars like Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter to legendary icons like Lenny Kravitz and Katy Perry.
The 2024 VMAs are set to be a night of musical celebration, with Taylor Swift leading the nominations with a whopping 12 nods. Following closely behind are Post Malone with 11 nominations and Eminem with eight. Other notable contenders include Sabrina Carpenter, Megan Thee Stallion, and Ariana Grande, each securing seven nominations.
While the performances are sure to be a highlight, the red carpet is a spectacle in its own right. Last year’s event saw a parade of memorable looks, from Doja Cat’s daring spiderweb Monse dress to Olivia Rodrigo’s sparkling Ludovic de Saint Sernin creation. The sheer trend was clearly in vogue, with Emily Ratajkowski’s archival Jean Paul Gaultier and Megan’s Brandon Blackwood ensembles making a statement. Cardi B opted for a cult-favorite Dilara Findikoglu design, while Nicki Minaj embraced a bridal theme in Dolce & Gabbana.
The VMAs have a long history of iconic fashion moments. From Janet Jackson’s iconic overalls in 1993 to Gwyneth Paltrow’s red velvet Gucci suit in 1996, the event has consistently set trends and pushed boundaries. Who can forget Pamela Anderson’s oversized furry pink hat in 1999 or Lil’ Kim’s singular pasty that same year? The 21st century saw Lady Gaga’s unforgettable meat dress, further solidifying the VMAs’ legacy as a platform for fashion experimentation.
As the excitement builds for the 2024 VMAs, keep your eyes peeled for the latest red carpet looks, performances, and all the must-see moments of the night. We’ll be providing live updates throughout the ceremony, so stay tuned for all the latest developments.
