MTV VMAs 2024: Racy new trend takes off on the red carpet
Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, Katy Perry, Chappell Roan and more are walking the red carpet at the MTV VMAs in New York.
The MTV VMAs red carpet is known as one of the wildest red carpets of the year, so it comes as no surprise to see stars going all out for the event this year. The awards show is taking place in New York's UBS Arena and stars like Katy Perry and Paris Hilton have surprised fans with the racy wet look this year.
Fans are loving the looks on the red carpet, with many praising Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan in particular. Fans are also watching closely to see if Sabrina will have a run-in with her ex Shawn Mendes and his ex Camila Cabello following the release of her single ‘Taste’, which references Shawn breaking up with her to go back to Camila.
Katy Perry
Katy showed off her fit figure with an asymmetrical bra and matching skirt, which some fans on X described as looking like "toilet paper". And it didn't stop there, the pop star even had a QR code 'tattooed' on her back that takes people to a link allowing them to pre-save her album.
"Katy Perry wearing a fake tattoo of a QR code that takes you to the 143 Pre-save site, she's so unserious," one fan joked.
"Katy has a tattoo of a QR code that takes you to pre-save her album, she’s just so iconic," another quipped.
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift absolutely stunned in her plaid dress, which she wore over black hot pants. It was definitely one of her more daring looks and fans loved it, with one X user writing, "I AM ON THE FLOOR."
Taylor later changed into a sequinned outfit for the show:

Paris Hilton
Paris Hilton also followed the wet-look trend with her ripped silver sequinned gown.
Addison Rae
Addison Rae might not have followed the wet look trend, but she certainly went for a racy look in this number.
Chappell Roan
Chappell Roan appeared to be channelling Edward Scissorhands and Joan of Arc with her VMAs look. The singer revealed that the robe she wore was 300 years old.
The star also hit back at a photographer on the carpet who told her to "shut the f**k up," telling him the same thing:

Sabrina Carpenter
Sabrina Carpenter went for an old-school Hollywood glamour look for the evening, wearing archival Bob Mackie that Madonna wore at the 1991 Oscars.

Camila Cabello
Camila Cabello went for a racy naked dress for the event. No doubt fans will be watching to see if she, her ex, Shawn Mendes, and his ex, Sabrina Carpenter, interact (confusing, I know).
