See the Craziest Looks From the VMAs

by Denette Wilford

August 28, 2017

Throw your hands up in the air, and wave ’em like you just don’t care. That was the mantra going through these stars’ heads as they walked the red carpet of the Video Music Awards.

Nicki Minaj (2018)

It's official: wearing nothing but a bodysuit with a sheer tulle overlay is still a thing. Fine, but can we talk about the choker on Nicki Minaj's nude bodysuit? No, just no.

Blac Chyna (2018)

Blac Chyna left little to the imagination in this pink chain number. Sometimes, more is more, don't you think?

Tiffany Haddish (2018)

Tiffany Haddish's Naeem Khan gown didn't excite everyone on last night's red carpet. One viewer tweeted that it "looks like an arm sling."

We'll just leave you with that image.

Blake Lively (2018)

Though Blake Lively can usually do no wrong, we can't get behind this all-white pantsuit that the head of an all-girls academy might don. The slender actress is practically swimming in the pant legs! Can she even walk?!

This black, fully see-through lace gown had us shaking our heads. Rita Ora, please explain what you were thinking with the thick black undies underneath.

Are topiaries the new inspo for cocktail dresses? Because that needs to stop RIGHT NOW.

Jared Leto (2017)

Distressed jeans? Check. Shiny shoes? Check. Wacky printed top? Check? Sequined bathrobe that may or may not have stolen from Pavarotti's walk-in. Checkity check check check.

Nicki Minaj (2017)

Latex and Nicki go together like a fine wine but even we have to draw the line at this Pepto-hued, camel toe-y monstrosity.

Paris Jackson (2017)

The beige boxer briefs underneath patterned, sheer tulle simply wash her out, not to mention, NO. A red lip would've gone a long way but it still wouldn't be enough to save her.

Cardi B (2017)

Sorry, honey, but only Madonna can pull this off.

Rory Kramer (2017)

Tell me what's worse on the YouTube star — the suit or the different shoes. Oh, they're equally awful? Got it.

Demi Lovato (2017)

The shimmery harem pants are a bust, sorry, not sorry.

Jasmine Sanders

Jasmine Sanders (2017)

It started out as a pretty good dress but then a trigger-happy person wielding shears got too close and then it was too late.

Hailey Baldwin (2017)

We've seen this time and time again from her and I'm bored. GET A NEW LOOK.

Farrah Abraham (2017)

If the Teen Mom's legs were Caramilk bars, this might have made more sense.

CP Images

Bebe Rexha (2017)

This might be the best she's ever looked. That being said, based on her track record, that doesn't mean it's good.

Sophie Beem (2017)

When did people start thinking wearing a bra and pajama bottoms to events is OK?

CP Images

Jeremy Scott (2017)

I can't tell, do you think Jer likes gold?

Jeremy Scott (2017)

He also traded in his cowboy boots for Uggs and now I don't know if I hate him more or less.

Kesha (2017)

So many tiers of tulle, and are those ... dress suspenders?

Arielle Vandenberg

Just adding more soreness to sore eyes.

Lizzo (2017)

She was clearly trying to make a point with the words "truth hurts" on her bridal style gown but I didn't get it.

Cole Whittle (2017)

The little drummer boy from DNCE is the repeat offender who keeps on offending.

CP Images

Olivia Munn (2017)

This is uncomfortably, awkwardly too short, right? Like, how did she sit down in this?

CP Images

25 / 26

Mel B (2017)

She's trying to send a message but it's all getting lost in translation.

Mel B (2017)

Gah! Even scarier from the back.

(See what I did there? I'll show myself out.)
