MTV VMAs 2026: See Every Celebrity on the Red Carpet

Why Travis Kelce Won't Be Attending the 2026 VMAs With Taylor Swift

Music’s most iconic night is blasting off.

Before host Snoop Dogg kicks off the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards and the coveted Moon Person trophies are bestowed, many of the night’s stars proved their fashion on the red carpet is out of this world.

After all, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Lisa Rinna donned a ceramic plated bodice piece and white skirt by fashion designer SEKS and wore a white wig to match.

For her part, Dancing With the Stars contestant Ciara Miller kept the summer vibes alive in a skin-baring, all leather look complete with a bikini-style top and country western pants.

Meanwhile, MTV royalty Chanel West Coast channeled Shania Twain, sporting a leopard print cowgirl hat and flowing sheer skirt.

Of course, nominees, performers and more lighting up the red carpet is just part of the excitement in store at this year’s VMAs with such an A-list lineup of musicians set to perform.

Indeed, Madonna—who leads the night’s nominees with 11 nominations—is returning the VMAs stage for the first time in 23 years to open the show with a medley of hits from her latest album Confessions II. (Click here to see the full list of the night’s nominees.)
