2021 MTV Video Music Awards Red Carpet

We definitely expect to see some truly crazy looks at MTV’s Video Music Awards. But this year’s ceremony may just be the craziest. From an ostrich feather hat to a spoon accent, the attendees at the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards were obviously going for shock value. After all, skin was certainly in. Just ask Megan Fox who rocked a barely-there Mugler creation. Jennifer Lopez also got in on the action by sporting a lace-up David Koma ensemble. Top model Adut Akech played a little peekaboo, too. We were treated to a couple of haute couture looks. Courtesy of Kacey Musgraves, Camila Cabello and Olivia Rodrigo. Kacey finished off her purple Valentino minidress with the matching topper and red gloves. Camila’s Alexis Mabille gown boasted a big bow. And Olivia’s Atelier Versace stunner came from the brand’s Spring 2001 collection. Scroll down to see all the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards looks that turned heads.
