2024 VMAs red carpet: Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Paris Hilton shine at awards show

Fashion dominated the annual MTV VMAs at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, on Wednesday.

Taylor Swift wore a Christian Dior gown with black shorts and matching black boots at the music festival, where she leads the pack with 10 nominations, with her recent collaborator Post Malone nominated for nine awards. The duo won the first award of the night for best collaboration for their song “Fortnite.”

“Waking up in the morning in New York on September 11, all I was thinking about was what happened 23 years ago, everyone who lost a loved one and everyone we lost,” Swift said while accepting the award. “And that’s the most important thing today and everything that happens tonight is behind it all.”

Taylor Swift, Katy Perry and Paris Hilton stepped out in style for the VMAs.

Katy Perry showed off her abs in a creamy Who Decides War torn top and skirt. She was joined on the black carpet by her fiancé Orlando Bloom.

Paris Hilton wore a custom dress by Celia Kritharioti with an ornate diamond choker necklace that matched her towering pumps.
