Updated: 06:16 EDT, 28 September 2026 Since its debut in 1984, the red carpet fashion at the MTV Video Music Awards has always been more daring than demure. Think Lady Gaga's meat dress, The Weeknd's faux bloodied and bruised face and Pamela Anderson's pink feathery hat.This year's celebrities didn't disappoint, continuing the unofficial dress code of taking risks. But while every outfit stood out, some were decidedly more weird than wonderful.American singer Adam Lambert, 44, opted for a gothic ensemble in an oversized black cloak and statement headpiece, teamed with dark eye make-up and black painted nails.Real Housewives star Lisa Rinna, 63, also sported an unconventional outfit, which consisted of a plunging molded breastplate and flowing skirt with a risqué thigh-high split.Dakota Johnson appeared equally racy as she went braless under a nude sequined gown. Accentuated with a simple diamond necklace, the frock was perfectly fitted to accentuate her enviably svelte physique.Taylor Swift, meanwhile, commanded the red carpet in a figure-hugging Tamara Ralph Couture look which boasted a halterneck black top with a show-stopping sheer back, paired with a shimmering silver skirt.So, who do you think deserves to take home the crown for best – or worst – dressed at this year's VMAs?
