VMAs? More like VM-Tays.
Taylor Swift went full punk on the VMAs 2024 red carpet on Wednesday, wearing a plaid corseted dress fresh off of Dior’s 2025 resort collection runway.
She added even more edginess to the look with velvet shorts, strappy leather gloves and a matching choker.

And in addition to drawing the cat eye sharp, she topped off her signature winged liner with smoky eyeshadow, though she swapped her signature red lipstick for a more neutral shade.
Swift leads this year’s VMA nominations with a total of 12 nods. She’s up for video of the year, song of the year, best collaboration, best direction, best cinematography, best editing, best visual effects, best art direction and song of the summer — all for “Fortnight,” which features Post Malone — plus most iconic performance (for her 2009 staging of “You Belong With Me”), artist of the year and best pop.
She’s already the video of the year category’s most awarded artist, having won four times — for “Bad Blood” in 2015, “You Need to Calm Down” in 2019, “All Too Well: The Short Film” in 2022 and “Anti-Hero” in 2023.
And she never fails to top the best-dressed list with her looks for MTV’s annual awards show; in 2022, she showed up in a dazzling crystal-draped minidress by Oscar de la Renta, while last year she wowed in a “Reputation”-coded black Atelier Versace gown.
Her sartorial selections for this year’s ceremony around feature several hallmarks of her “Reputation” era, which saw the “Midnights” singer embrace plaid oversized flannels and thigh-high heels.
