VMAs 2025 Red Carpet: Best Celebrity Looks & Wildest Outfits

So stars were down to take some sartorial risks while attending the 2025 VMAs at New York’s UBS Arena on Sunday night.

Doja Cat turned up the volume in a quilted blue and yellow Balmain mini dress, which she teamed with full caramel curls and a sparkling lipstick shaped clutch with a crimson pout that matched.

Ricky Martin, the evening’s Latin Icon Award recipient, was all attitude in a sea foam-hued shirt, unbuttoned to show off his chest and several sparkling necklaces.

Sabrina Carpenter, who is nominated for eight awards tonight and slated to perform, stunned in a red lace Valentino dress.

Lenny Kravitz was almost all business, as he arrived in a suit — but left his shirt at home. He dressed similarly at last year’s VMAs.

This year’s host, rapper and actor LL Cool J, took the red carpet in a checkered coat, dark shades and a colorful hat.

With fashion daredevils like Gaga and Doja also slated to perform, we’re all but guaranteed some amazing outfit changes inside as well.
