Worst dressed celebrities at 2024 MTV VMAs revealed
Despite its reputation for glitz and glamour, the star-studded 2024 MTV VMAs red carpet this year has been marked by several fashion missteps.
Addison Rae, 23, was among the stars who opted for head-scratching ensembles, as she turned up to the red carpet in a deconstructed ballerina look.
The Diet Pepsi hitmaker flashed the flesh in a pair of white high-waited underwear and a matching sculpted silk bra with boa feathers. The TikTok influencer teamed the revealing look with a tulle tutu that only covered her backside.
Anitta, 31, also failed to impress on the fashion front, wearing a bizarre bridal outfit consisting of a bustier-style mini dress with a tulle skirt and a white veil.
Thalia, 53, made a bold statement in a head-to-toe shiny gold look. The Mexican singer wore a mini dress with a matching train that was almost blinding.

Reality star Chanel West Coast, 36, was among the early arrivals at the event who topped the list of fashion fails.
The rapper donned a bizarre mini dress with a silver and white safety pin top, and an asymmetrical silver mesh skirt.
She paired the outfit with white mesh stockings and glittering silver heels.
The star further accessorized with a number of silver jewelry.
Tom Hanks‘ son Chet Hanks, 34, also sported an eye-popping look, wearing a red, black and white motorcycle jacket and matching pants.
He completed the outfit with chunky boots featuring white platform soles and laces.
Lil Nas X, 25, wore a Power Rangers inspired look. The rapper opted for a cropped pink and white motorcycle jacket with matching pants and a helmet.
Jersey Shore star Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi, 36, also had a fashion miss, rocking an outdated cheetah sequin dress paired with chunky wooden platform heels. She teamed the look with a sheer black cover-up
