The 2024 MTV Video Music Awards are finally here, with rock legends and music icons gathered outside New York’s UBS Arena ready to honor this year’s winners for Best Video, Best New Artist, Best Collaboration and much more.

From nominees Billie Eilish and Doja Cat to artists Chappell Roan, Benson Boone and Teddy Swims, the Sept. 11 event will bring together a variety of artists from multiple musical genres throughout the night—and it all starts on the red carpet.

Every year, the MTV VMAs red carpet sees celebrities dressed in a combination of big fashion brands and emerging designers. Whether they don a traditional evening gown, a loose-fitting suit, or denim and faux fur (circa Pink in 2000), performers love to present their playful personality with modern fashion for this particular awards ceremony, finding creativity within the relaxed dress code.

Last year, stars posed against a pink and black backdrop in homage to their distinctive voice. Metallic hues seemed to dominate the scene with Olivia Rodrigo in Ludovic de Saint Sernin and Cardi B in Dilara Findikoglu, while dark shadows were cast by Bebe Rexha in The Uncommonist and Demi Lovato in Buerlangma.

From Megan Thee Stallion to Sabrina Carpenter, here are the best red carpet looks from the 2024 MTV VMAs.
