The VMAs always make for a memorable evening, and that includes the fashion choices. Attendees never fail to go all out for the VMAs, and the more carefree feel of the night lends itself to fun, campy ensembles—this is, after all, the same awards show where Lady Gaga sported a meat dress, and where Madonna wore her iconic “Like a Virgin” outfit.

The 40th annual MTV VMAs on Tuesday, September 12, 2023 are sure to bring plenty more unforgettable stylish moments. Below, see all the best red carpet fashion from all your favorite celebrities.
