<p data-start="159" data-end="480">The <strong>MTV Video Music Awards</strong> have long been a playground for risk-takers, and the 2025 edition was no exception. This year&rsquo;s red carpet brought together archival treasures, playful couture, and fearless self-expression. A reminder that the VMAs are not about restraint, but about reimagining what glamour can be.</p>

<h3 data-start="482" data-end="569"><strong>Best Dressed Celebrities at the MTV Video Music Awards 2025</strong></h3>

<h4 data-start="576" data-end="586"><strong>Tyla</strong></h4>
<p data-start="587" data-end="949">South Africa&rsquo;s breakout star set the tone for the evening in vintage <strong>Chanel</strong>, repurposing a 1993 top from <strong>Claudia Schiffer</strong>&rsquo;s runway into a micro-mini dress. With layers of Pandora talisman chains draped across her frame, oversized hoops, and sharp <strong>Louboutin</strong> heels, Tyla proved that maximalism can still feel refined. It was archival fashion rewritten for today.</p>

<h4 data-start="956" data-end="979"><strong>Sabrina Carpenter</strong></h4>
<p data-start="980" data-end="1294">Seduction done right. Sabrina brought <strong>Valentino</strong> to the carpet in a crimson lace gown shimmering with scarlet sequins, softened by a lavender boa and <strong>Tiffany &amp; Co.</strong> jewelry. Paired with glamorous waves and a sultry gaze, her look radiated cinematic bombshell allure.</p>

<h4 data-start="1301" data-end="1320"><strong>Ariana Grande</strong></h4>
<p data-start="1321" data-end="1611">In a playful twist on vintage glamour, Ariana appeared in a custom <strong>Fendi</strong> polka-dot gown dusted with <strong>Swarovski</strong> crystals. Styled by <strong>Law Roach</strong>, the look balanced lighthearted nostalgia with sculptural polish, punctuated by a matching bow. Whimsy, but with the confidence of a pop powerhouse.</p>

<h4 data-start="1618" data-end="1631"><strong>KATSEYE</strong></h4>
<p data-start="1632" data-end="1907">The global girl group proved the power of coordination in <strong>Dolce &amp; Gabbana</strong> mini dresses. Each member exuded individuality&mdash;lace, corsetry, bold hues&mdash;yet together, they created a symphony of style. It was cohesion without uniformity, a visual echo of their artistry as a group.</p>

<h4 data-start="1914" data-end="1925"><strong>Ciara</strong></h4>
<p data-start="1926" data-end="2227">Ciara offered one of the night&rsquo;s most intriguing looks: a red hot quarter-zip knit mini by <strong>Schiaparelli</strong>, elevated with an asymmetrical train. Part sporty, part haute couture, it was proof that comfort and drama don&rsquo;t have to be opposites.&nbsp;</p>

<h4 data-start="2234" data-end="2252"><strong>Ricky Martin</strong></h4>
<p data-start="2253" data-end="2577">Two decades since his last VMAs, Ricky Martin returned in laid-back elegance: a flowy light-gray shirt that bore his chest, paired with matching trousers and layered charm necklaces. With his Latin Icon Award in hand, the ensemble exuded timeless charisma, a reminder that sometimes style is about aura as much as fabric.</p>

<h4 data-start="2584" data-end="2600"><strong>Conan Gray</strong></h4>
<p data-start="2601" data-end="2829">A vision of whimsy and edge, Conan Gray stepped out in a nautical-themed <strong>Erik Charlotte</strong> ensemble paired with towering platform boots. It was theatrical, eccentric, and unapologetically his own.</p>

<h4 data-start="2836" data-end="2847"><strong>Sombr</strong></h4>
<p data-start="2848" data-end="3097">In an embroidered Valentino suit, Sombr delivered quirky luxury with a modern heartbeat. The textures and details spoke volumes, balancing couture craftsmanship with understated cool. It was a look that asked for no spectacle, yet left a lasting impression.</p>
