2025 MTV VMAs Red Carpet Looks: Sabrina Carpenter, Ariana Grande, Ricky Martin and more [LIVE]

The 2025 MTV Video Music Awards have officially kicked off, and with them comes a red carpet filled with fashion moments, bold beauty statements, and major star power.

Held at New York’s UBS Arena, this year’s ceremony is already shaping up to be one for the books. With LL Cool J hosting and an incredible lineup of performers, including Ricky Martin, Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter, Doja Cat, Post Malone, Tate McRae, and Sombr, the VMAs are once again proving their cultural relevance in both music and fashion.

The VMAs red carpet is never just about fashion. It's about making a statement. Over the years, it’s given us unforgettable pop culture moments, including Lady Gaga’s meat dress, Lil’ Kim’s iconic lilac pastie, Pamela Anderson’s fuzzy hat, and countless others.

And in 2025, the stars are just as bold. Celebrities have the freedom to take risks, starting with Doja Cat’s avant-garde glam and Sabrina Carpenter's red semi-sheer gown.
