The most stunning outfits from the 2023 VMAs red carpet, from Taylor Swift to Nicki Minaj

The 2023 MTV Video Music Awards gave us, as usual, some amazing moments — NSYNC reunited to present a statue, and among the people who were so pumped was Taylor Swift — and some incredible performances, like Shakira performing her deep catalogue and receiving the Video Vanguard award.

But, like with the Oscars or other awards shows, the VMAs red carpet gave us some stunning outfits worn by some of the biggest names in music and pop culture.

In no particular order, let’s run through some of the incredible photos of those looks from the event at the Prudential Center on Tuesday night:
