From Taylor Swift to Chappell Roan, check out the boldest looks from the 2024 VMAs.

The <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/music/most-memorable-outfits-vma-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">VMAs red carpet</a> is always a platform for bold, out-of-the-box fashion experimentation, and this year was no exception.
Some of the boldest looks came from pop icons like <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/fashion/taylor-swift-sheer-clothing-trend" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Taylor Swift</a>, who tried out a daring ensemble from <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/fashion/christian-dior-iconic-styles-bags-shoes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christian Dior</a>&rsquo;s Resort 2025 collection. A departure from her typically softer red carpet style, the outfit sparked speculation among fans that it hinted at a forthcoming Reputation (Taylor&rsquo;s Version)&mdash;but no such luck for the Swifties. Swift completed the edgy look with black leather lace-up gloves and sleek thigh-high leather boots.
Other standouts of the night came from rising pop star and ex-TikToker, <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/fashion/addison-rae-best-style-moments-tiktok" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Addison Rae</a>, who stepped out in custom Miss Claire Sullivan. With a feather-adorned white bra paired with matching panties, topped off with a voluminous tulle skirt embellished with even more feathers, Rae shared that she was inspired by<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;"> <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/music/young-photos-madonna-80s-birthday" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Madonna</a> when deciding her look for the night. Just like Madonna often was, Rae was the talk of the night on the red carpet.&nbsp;
As the night progressed, a surprising theme emerged, blending gothic Renaissance elements with subtle religious undertones. One standout accessory from the red carpet? Veils. Spotted on stars like <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/sabrina-carpenter-camilla-cabello-shawn-mendes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Camila Cabello</a>, K-pop sensation Lisa, influencer Jazzelle Zanaughtti, and Brazilian singer Anitta, each of their looks exuded a regal, ethereal quality.
<a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/chappell-roan-tour-outfits-most-over-the-top-inspiration-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chappell Roan</a> fully embraced this <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/men/celine-hommes-fall-winter-2021-collection-teenage-knight-poem" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gothic Renaissance</a> aesthetic, channeling Joan of Arc with two looks in one night. She first appeared on the carpet in Y/Project&rsquo;s Fall/Winter 2024 collection, accessorized with armor-inspired details, a large cross necklace, and an even larger sword. Roan then switched into a Rabanne <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/luar-spring-summer-2025-nyfw-looks-runway-madonna" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spring/Summer </a>2024 look that radiated medieval flair. Should we anticipate seeing more of these religious-inspired looks in the next year?
