Stars bare almost all at MTV VMAs

Stars have hit red carpet outside New York’s UBS Arena ahead of today’s MTV Video Music Awards.

Taylor Swift is this year’s most nominated artist, earning 12 nods for categories including Video, Song and Artist of the Year.

Her Fortnight duet partner Post Malone is following close behind with eleven nominations, while Eminem has eight, and Ariana Grande, Megan Thee Stallion and Sabrina Carpenter all have seven noms each.

Before the awards, though, is the red carpet - here are all the best, worst and wildest outfits.

A wet-look Katy Perry arrived with partner Orlando Bloom:

World’s biggest pop star and proud childless cat lady Taylor Swift looks like she’s left plenty of room in her flowing outfit to store all her awards tonight:

Toast of 2024 Chappell Roan recently warned fans not to approach her to ask for photos - and it looks like she means it, she’s walking the red carpet armed with a sword.

Roan was also caught on video going off at the red carpet photographers, turning on her heels and pointing at one snapper as she screamed: “YOU SHUT THE F**K UP!”

She’s arguably the biggest (non-Swift) pop star in the world at this very second - and Sabrina Carpenter’s paying homage to the greats, wearing the Bob Mackie gown Madonna wore to the 1991 Oscars:

Eminem is expected to open the show this year, while fellow rapper Megan Thee Stallion will serve as host. We’ll be live blogging the highlights from the ceremony here once it kicks off at 10am AEST.

And pop princess Katy Perry – currently in the midst of an underwhelming publicity campaign for her upcoming sixth studio album 143 – will be honoured for her past accomplishments with this year’s Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.

Perry’s nod makes her the seventh female solo artist in a row to receive the award, following Shakira, Nicki Minaj, Missy Elliott, Jennifer Lopez, Pink and Rihanna.

The 2024 MTV Video Music Awards are available to stream here in Australia on Paramount Plus.
