The VMAs or MTV Video Music Awards were held in New York at a night filled with surprises both in the wardrobe selection of some of the attendees and also in the final results. It had all the usual drama, fashion, glitz, glamour, music and frenzy that has come to be associated with this yearly event.
The event, which was hosted by rapper Doja Cat, had performances and appearances by some of the biggest names in international music. It was no surprise that Lil Nas X walked away with the most number of awards after his sensational video and song Montero (Call be by your Name). Another big winner was Olivia Rodrigo who not only matched Lil Nas X with 3 awards on the night but also took home the Song of the Year award and Best New Artist for her song Driver’s License.
Justin Bieber had the most number of nominations (9) on the night and took home the coveted Artist of the Year Award. Along with Justin Bieber, another legend who firmly established her mark in the history books was “Queen Bee” Beyonce who collected her 29th award in the history of the awards. Korean Pop or K-Pop sensation BTS also collected 3 awards on the night.
Apart from the awards and the music, another major talking point at these events is the wardrobe or elaborate costumes that the celebrities get decked in for the red carpet. They were often used to spread a message like Cindy Crawford’s black Versace creation that she teamed up with a red ribbon to spread the awareness of AIDS/HIV back in 1992. Most of it was for pure shock value like Lil Kim’s one-shoulder dress with matching nipple pasties in 1999 or Rose McGowen’s sheer dress in 1998.
Other artists have used the red carpet to further their on-screen image like Lady Gaga’s dress made of meat in 2010 or Cher who recreated her iconic look from the ’80s in the same year. Miley Cyrus also turned up the shock value in 2016 with a dress that did not even attempt to do what a dress is supposed to. In 2011 Nikki Minaj appeared on the red carpet in what could not be described as a dress by any stretch of the imagination.
Another well-deserved entrant into the list with another transparent creation this year was Megan Fox. The 35-year-old model/actress and mother of 3, is famous for gracing the covers of almost every major magazine in the world and for her role in the Transformers franchise. She walked the red carpet hand in hand with her boyfriend and rapper Machine Gun Kelly.
The sheer transparent dress left nothing to the imagination and Megan Fox quickly became the toast of the town with the confidence and sheer elegance with which she carried herself in front of the photographers and media. The sparkly thong that she wore along with the dress barely managed to keep the pictures from being too racy to be shared on mainstream media.T
