The MTV Video Music Awards has always brought with it some of the best fashion moments the music world has to offer. The VMAs also act as a platform for spectacle. I mean, who can forget Lady Gaga’s iconic performance of “Paparazzi” at the 2009 VMAs or Britney Spears’ captivating anaconda dance for “I’m A Slave 4 U” in 2001? This year ushers in new possibilities with boundary innovators such as Lil Nas X in attendance, and who knows what they’ll bring?<\/p>\n

Join GRAZIA live as we unpack some of the best fashion moments this year’s VMAs has to offer. Let’s see what shocks, what captivates and what inspires this year, shall we?<\/p>\n
