Our Favourite VMA RED CARPET Outfits

Ariana Grande

This year Ariana Grande was styled by Law Roach, who dressed her in a long polka dot Fendi dress, inspired by the 1980s. It was exciting to see her step away from the Glinda look and try something new on the red carpet.

FKA twigs

This year, FKA twigs turned heads on the red carpet in a burgundy two-piece set styled by Matthew Josephs, who completed the look with platform heels and a shawl. Her bold hairstyle was created by Louis Souvestre, who crafted the braids to resemble a pair of wired headphones.

Chloe & JOe's Top Picks

Chloe's Favourite - Zara Larsson

Zara stunned everyone with a custom floral dress designed by Irish designer Sorcha O'Raghallaigh. The look was a collaboration between O'Raghallaigh and stylist Caterina Ospina, who paired it with orange heels and a matching floral headpiece. This playful and unique look was Chloe's top choice for the night!
