The Top 10 Worst Dressed Celebrities At the MTV Video Music Awards VMAs 2023 Red Carpet

The MTV Video Music Awards 2023, was another important night for the music business. A-profile celebrities including Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny, Olivia Rodrigo, Doja Cat, Sam Smith, Beyoncé, and many others are included on this year’s list of nominations. Also scheduled to play at the awards ceremony are Fall Out Boy, Stray Kids, Karol G, Maneskin, and others. Of course, the red carpet is where most of the excitement for many VMAs viewers occurs before the show even starts.

Every year, the VMAs feature a plethora of fashion failures and hits, and 2023 is no exception. While some attendees are killing the night, others are falling flat with the audience.

The MTV Video Music Awards arrived at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, just as fashion fatigue was starting to set in on Day Five of New York Fashion Week.
The red carpet at the VMAs is known for being the wildest and most daring, with a few stylish moments sandwiched in amongst all the mayhem.

These included Saweetie and Lil Nas X wearing just-off-the-runway Palomo Spain and Area, respectively; Dove Cameron in a black slinky Coach dress; Shakira in a golden Versace; Annita in a major Schiaparelli; Karol G in Ashi Studio; Selena Gomez in Oscar de la Renta; and Olivia Rodrigo in Ludovic de Saint Sernin.

They can’t all be winners, though, and as is typical with the VMAs, some looks went awry. Chase Stokes wins points for being the dashing number-one fan of his girlfriend Kelsea Ballerini, but his red long suit jacket number left us wanting more. NSYNC showed up looking like various shades of blueberry sherbet in their coordinating suits.
Emily Ratajkowski, Yung Miami, Rita Ora, and Doja Cat also found themselves on the worst-dressed list.

Shakira was the night’s big honoree, taking home the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. Ice Spice won Best New Artist, while it was a big night for her seatmate, Swift, who won Video of the Year, song of the Year, and Best Pop Video, among others, bringing home a total of nine wins. And of course, the reunion of NSYNC was one of the most talked about moments of the night. But best dressed, they were not.

The 2023 VMAs red carpet has arrived to satisfy your urge to critique celebrity clothes, just in case New York Fashion Week wasn’t enough for you.
There isn’t really a better way to spend Fashion Month than sitting in front of your computer browsing through the “lewks,” as this red carpet is infamous for producing some of the best (and, ahem, worst) red carpet looks of the year.

Olivia Rodrigo and Doja Cat were early arrivals to the VMAs red carpet, strutting their stuff over two and a half hours before showtime (we love prompt stars! ), and taking fans by surprise with their outfit selections. Do you consider them winners as well? Make up your own mind by scrolling through every piece of 2023 VMAs apparel.
