Addison Rae embraces showgirl style at 2024 VMAs in underwear and feathers

Just call it soda pop meets the Queen of Pop.

Addison Rae hit the red carpet at the 2024 VMAs on Wednesday, turning heads in a padded feather-adorned bra, sheer panties and a matching tulle skirt she told MTV was inspired by “a little bit of Diet Pepsi,” referencing her song named after the soda, and “a little bit of Madonna.”

The show-stopping set is custom made by Claire Sullivan, who’s created similarly sheer designs for the likes of Kylie Jenner, Dua Lipa and Camila Cabello.

It’s far from the first time Rae’s paid homage to the Queen of Pop; she made like Madge in a Jean Paul Gaultier x Lotta Volkova cone bra at a Variety event earlier this summer, before sporting similarly skin-baring sets and pointy pieces in her “Diet Pepsi” music video.

For the VMAs, the TikTok phenom completed her outfit by styling her auburn hair in bouncy waves and matching her pearl barrette to her navel ring.

Rae’s no stranger to stealing the show at MTV’s buzzy award show, as she walked the red carpet in a different barely-there bra top in 2021 — joining the ranks of some of the most daring VMAs looks of all time.

She wasn’t the only star borrowing style inspiration from Madonna this time around, as Sabrina Carpenter — who’s set to perform at tonight’s show — wore the same shimmering Bob Mackie gown the chart-topper memorably wore to sing at the 1991 Oscars.

Paying homage to the ’90s has been a major theme on tonight’s red carpet, as Halsey stepped out in a Versace design first worn by Elizabeth Hurley in 1991.

With stars like Megan Thee Stallion, Camila Cabello and Karol G set to take the stage at tonight’s show, it’s safe to say more music history could soon be in the making.
