The MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) red carpet just made our heatwave a lot hotter. From breathtaking gowns to killer suits and everything in between, the VMAs have become the ultimate stage for LGBTQ+ artists to showcase their unique blend of authenticity, and glamour, and unique style. From the fashion statements that broke the mold to the awe-inspiring beauty moments that left us all gasping for air, this year’s VMAs were a kaleidoscope of creativity and self-expression. Take a look:

Bicon Cardi B’s look was not just unconventional in style — it unconventional in construction, made almost entirely of hair clips! The dress, designed by Dilara Findikoglu, was coordinated with matching cuffs and even her husband Offset had hair clips incorporated in his look. We love a theme!
Demi Lovato

Lil Nas X

Lil Nas X served purity realness, reminding us of Madonna’s 1984 Like A Virgin performance. This all-white look is white hot! Can we get an amen?
Bebe Rexha

Bebe Rexha took some fashion risks with this “cheeky” leather gown complete with a…horse’s tail?! This look was designed by The Uncommonist, who has also dressed Julia Fox in a similar horse dominatrix look. You can’t be mad at someone with that much confidence.
Sasha Colby
