MTV VMAs 2024: Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, and Chappell Roan Lead a Dazzling Red Carpet

As the stars descended upon the UBS Arena in New York for the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, the red carpet transformed into a runway. This year's ceremony, hosted by the inimitable Megan Thee Stallion, promised a night of musical excellence and fashion extravagance—and it certainly delivered.

Leading the pack with 12 nominations, Taylor Swift made a grand entrance in a Dior ensemble that perfectly blended edge and elegance. The pop icon wore a Dior Cruise 2025 printed technical taffeta bustier and skirt, paired with black velvet shorts that added a touch of sophistication to the look. Completing her outfit, she wore Dior gloves and a MY DIOR ear cuff in white gold and diamonds of Dior Joaillerie. Swift embodied the essence of a modern-day punk princess.

Rising star Chappell Roan turned heads in a breathtaking Rabanne creation from the Spring Summer 2024 collection. Designed by Julien Dossena, the silver and gold metallic assemblage top and skirt transformed Roan into a fashion moment. The intricate detailing and bold color combination perfectly captured the essence of the VMAs—daring, innovative, and captivating.

Actor Orlando Bloom graced the black carpet in not one, but two stunning CELINE HOMME looks by Hedi Slimane. His first ensemble featured a classic black suit jacket in gabardine, paired with matching trousers and a fine wool sweater with a rising collar. The look was completed with sleek Drugstore Chelsea boots in shiny calfskin.

For his second appearance, Bloom effortlessly transitioned to a more casual yet equally stylish CELINE HOMME outfit. He donned a Teddy Snapshot Western leather jacket in black, layered over a loose Triomphe jersey cotton T-shirt. The same classic trousers and Chelsea boots tied the look together, showcasing Bloom's versatility and impeccable taste.

Katy Perry stunned in a gown that embraced the "wet look" trend, appearing to drip with liquid silver. Accompanied by her fiancé Orlando Bloom, Perry's red carpet appearance set the stage for her later receipt of the prestigious Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.
