It's that time of year again, the highly anticipated night of music videos and star-studded glamour. As the A-listers make their way down the red carpet, I find myself in awe, struggling to pick my jaw up off the floor. And to kick off the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards, none other than the incomparable pop sensation, Doja Cat, takes the stage.
With five nominations, including Best Video and Artist of the Year, Doja Cat is set to deliver a show-stopping performance later tonight in New Jersey. But it's her grand entrance that truly leaves everyone surprised, or perhaps just me. Doja Cat redefines the concept of a “naked dress” as she graces the stage in a mesmerizingly sheer gown intricately adorned with white spiderweb-like netting. Embracing a daring fashion choice, she goes braless, opting for a nude thong underneath, and completes the look with transparent pointed-toe pumps.
Adding an extra touch of spookiness, Doja Cat accessorizes with diamond-encrusted spider ear cuffs, dazzling drop earrings, an array of sparkling diamond rings, and two coordinating wrap bracelets.
In terms of beauty, she pairs her platinum blonde buzzcut with ultra-thin eyebrows, a hint of white eyeshadow, feathery lashes, and a brown lip liner with a glossy finish.
This year's revealing ensemble is not a departure from Doja Cat's signature style. In 2021, as a four-time VMAs winner and host of the award show, she graced the event in a series of eye-catching and campy looks. One notable outfit was a plunging black corset with dark purple draping, complemented by cherry red thigh-high patent tights designed by Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood. To complete the ensemble, she opted for towering platform crisscross sandals and adorned herself with a statement necklace and coordinating drop earrings.
Stay tuned for more unforgettable fashion moments and incredible performances as the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards continue to unfold.
