VMAs 2025- Stars Styles, Best Dressed and Surprises from the Big Night
The 2025 MTV Video Music Awards held at New York’s UBS Arena was a night full of memorable performances from artists such as Tate McRae who first took the stage and opened the show by performing her hit “Revolving Door,” which is nominated for Best Editing, Mariah Carey earned the Vanguard Award and also Sabrina Carpenter took home best Album of the Year. Many musicians were handed various awards for different categories from Video of the year to Artist of the year and many more. Of course we can’t miss Ariana Grande, the star of the night who was the biggest winner, winning three awards including the Video of the Year Award.
But before we continue to dive deeper into the night, let’s take a look at what the red carpet offered. It was full of bold fashion choices, like Olandria Carthen’s heart-shaped red corset dress with the fabric following gently behind her to the dramatic moments of Doja Cat’s chewing on her lipstick after applying it on the red carpet or Tyler who embraced the no-pants rule rocking a Vintage Chanel. This is the VMAs we’re looking at here, what do you expect? It delivered plenty of unpredictable moments. Ahead are our top best dressed of the night.
Tyla’s Revamped Vintage Chanel

After being nominated for two awards, Tyla walked down the red carpet wearing a 1993 vintage Chanel top as a dress. The 23-year old SouthAfrican Afro-beat singer wore the designer piece swapping pants for black briefs underneath, and Chanel logo for a thin chain on her waist that dropped with a gold medallion. The beige corset top had a black embroidery with the perfect tailoring. She outdid herself by reworking the piece originally worn as a top by the supermodel Claudia Schiffer during the Spring/Summer 1993 runway.
Aside from the length of the dress, another detail that drew attention was her accessories, she stacked up gold Pandora pieces. From her neckline to her wrist, the singer layered several sizes of jewelries.
She also wore a gold anklet that complemented her black pointed heels. Her full outfit was designed with stylist Ron Hartleben.

The star who is nominated for eight awards, including Best Pop Artist and Video of the Year swapped her signature short corseted minidress to a floor-length fitted red gown designed by Valentino and diamond Tiffany & Co. jewelry. The customized lace gown was adorned with sequins placed in floral embellishments.
She carried a pink maribu-feathered boa, wore her hair in her usual blonde waves gently falling on her shoulders and kept her makeup neatly glammed, giving her a classic Hollywood-inspired look.
Doja Cat in Balmain

Whenever Doja steps into a red carpet, we expect nothing less than drama. She arrived in a blue and yellow Balmain mini dress with a plunged neckline, slightly off-shoulder that had pink crystal embellishments.
She accessorized with sapphire and diamond bold earrings from Chopard, yellow platform heels that stole the spotlight and a $5,995 Judith Leiber Couture lipstick clutch from which she pulled out a red lipstick and reapplied it on the red carpet.
The 29-year old singer was nominated this year for Song of the Summer for “Jealous Type,” and won the best K-pop for “Born Again,” her collaboration with Lisa and Raye.

Our most iconic winner of the night first stepped onto the red carpet wearing a strapless Black and white polka-dot Fendi gown, with voluminous pale pink peplum styled by Law Roach. It was inspired by a dress worn by Silvia Venturini in the 1980s.
She wore her hair in her signature ponytail, adorned with a bow made from the same fabric as her dress.
Later that evening, Grande changed into three other dresses for the occasion.
Ciara in Schiaparelli

Seems like almost everyone has a touch of red, Ciara stepped into the red carpet looking hot in a red oversized bomber jacket minidress, by Schiaparelli. The hybrid set had large silver zippers matching her jewelry, and an excess fabric that fell at one side giving the outfit a less daring finish.
Her hair was tied back neatly in a sleek bun and her makeup was nothing short of glamorous. She completed the look with an invisible looking pointy toe heels.
Summer Walker in a Bermuda capris

Walker paid homage to one of the most iconic red carpet moments with a look inspired by Pamela Anderson’s 1999 VMAs look.
She arrived in a white corset paired with body-hugging crystal-embellished Bermuda capris, trading Anderson’s original pink ensemble to a fluffy blue hat. Accessorized with a diamond necklace and an open-toe heels that tied the look together.
Sombr in a black ensemble

How can we finish off this list without mentioning Sombr. The singer and songwriter was nominated for The Best New Artist and won Best Alternative. He wore a black Valentino suit that had intricate floral patterns on the sleeves and above the mid-section tailored to perfection. A silk scarf wrapped around his waist and black shoes which had silver embroidery. The overall look was sharp and put together.

Biggest Snubs and Surprises at the 2026 Actor Awards Nominations
The nominations for the 32nd Annual Actor Awards, formerly known as the Screen Actors Guild Awards, have officially been announced. While some frontrunners strengthened their place in this year’s awards race, several high-profile names were surprisingly left out, making this year’s nominations one of the most debated in recent memory.
Announced on January 7 by Abbott Elementary star Jannelle James and Heated Rivalry actor Connie Storrie, the nominations spotlighted major contenders such as “One Battle After Another”, “Sinners”, “The Pitt”, “The Studio”, and “Adolescence”.
Dwayne Johnson was surprisingly left out, even though his performance in “The Smashing Machine” had received plenty of praise. His co-star Emily Blunt was also overlooked, despite both actors receiving nominations at other major award shows. The absence was especially notable given the strong momentum going into awards season.

Another notable omission was Cynthia Erivo, whose performance in “Wicked: For Good” had positioned her as a strong contender. While Ariana Grande earned a supporting actress nominations for reprising her role as Glinda, Erivo’s absence marked a sharp contrast to the franchise’s awards success during the 2025 awards season.
Television fans were equally shocked by the lack of individual nominations for Kristen Bell in “Nobody Wants This” and Jeremy Allen White, who was overlooked both for “The Bear” and his portrayal of Bruce Springsteen in “Deliver Me from Nowhere.”
Veteran actors George Clooney and Adam Sandler received no recognition for “Jay Kelly,”despite widespread expectations.
International cinema didn’t fare much better, as Joachim Trier’s “Sentimental Value” is widely regarded as an awards-season favorite, failed to secure acting nominations for its ensemble cast, including Elle Fanning and Renate Reinsve.
While some omissions disappointed fans, several unexpected nominations injected excitement into the list, Kate Hudson emerged as one of the surprises, earning a lead actress nomination for “Song Sung Blue,” breaking into one of the most competitive categories of the year.

Miles Caton had two nominations for “Sinners,” coming right after his Critics Choice Award win. At just 20 years old, Caton’s riding success signals a promising future in the industry.
Another pleasant shock was Odessa A’Zion, who earned recognition for “Marty Supreme,” further solidifying the film’s strong showing alongside lead actor Timothée Chalamet. Jesse Plemons also defied expectations with a lead actor nominations for his role in “Bugonia,” emerging as a potential dark-horse contender.
On the television side, “Stranger Things” received rare recognition in the stunt ensemble category for its final season, while Taylor Sheridan’s Landman surprised with nominations for both drama ensemble and stunt performance after being largely ignored elsewhere.
Perhaps the impressive breakthrough came from Chase Infiniti, whose performance in “One Battle After Another” earned widespread recognition. The film earned nominations in almost every acting category, marking Infiniti as one of the season’s most promising new talents.
Awards Season Heats Up
With the Actor Awards ceremony set to stream live on Netflix on March 1, these nominations have set the stage for what promises to be an exciting and closely watched awards season.

Anok Yai Just Won Model of the Year at the Fashion Awards
Anok Yai’s recognition at the Fashion Awards came after a year where her work was everywhere across the global fashion circuit. The event at the Royal Albert Hall brought together the industry’s usual mix of designers, photographers, editors, and public figures, but her category carried particular interest because of the scale of her work over the past year. The award confirmed what has been visible across runways, campaigns and major editorials; she has been one of the most active and consistently booked models in the world.

Over the last two seasons, Yai appeared in campaigns for multiple luxury houses and major beauty brands. This solidified her status as one of fashion’s most relied-upon faces. Her presence across top publications, including repeated appearances in British Vogue, Vogue US, Vogue Italia, Another Magazine, Dazed and others, showed how central she has become to editorial planning. These were not one-off features; she held recurring space in print and digital editions throughout 2024 and 2025, reflecting sustained relevance rather than periodic visibility.

Professionals who have worked with Yai have publicly spoken about her preparation and attention to detail on set. Photographers and stylists have noted in interviews that she arrives ready, understands references and adapts quickly to direction. Designers have highlighted her ability to hold the mood of a show, which is one of the reasons she appears regularly in prominent runway lineups in New York, London, Milan and Paris. This consistent performance across markets has placed her among the most in-demand models of the current era.

Her win therefore aligns with a year defined by high-profile work rather than isolated standout moments. Her runway appearances spanned several major fashion weeks; her editorial output remained steady across multiple continents; and her campaign bookings cut across both fashion and beauty sectors. These are measurable indicators of influence in an industry where longevity and volume across major platforms matter as much as visibility.

Her award reflects a documented body of work that extended across campaigns, runways and publications throughout the year. It marks her as one of the most prominent working models of the moment.
