One comment perfectly summed up the consensus: "She has to be the best dressed without any doubt." It's clear Cabello's dramatic but refined outfit was a hit with fans.
Adding to the bold fashion moments was Halle Bailey, whose monochromatic red look lit up the carpet. The trim, strapless bandage dress, paired with matching shoes, featured bold cutouts that added an interesting edge to the sleek design.
Bailey's choice to keep everything in the same striking red tone created a cohesive, eye-catching look that had fans buzzing. Viewers praised her daring fashion choice, with one fan calling her "the best-dressed."

Another one said, "Red is such a beautiful color on her! The cut is interesting, I love it." It's safe to say Bailey's daring approach to fashion paid off, earning her a spot among the evening's standout stars.
While many stars opted for traditional red carpet glam, Chappell Roan chose to debut in something entirely different. She went all out with a medieval-inspired look that certainly made waves. She donned a pistachio velvet robe with gold embroidery and ruched sleeves, giving her the appearance of a warrior queen.
But it wasn't just the robe that caught attention. Roan completed the look with an armored manicure and even carried a sword, cementing her bold and unique fashion statement.

Fans were quick to hail her as one of the night's best-dressed stars. Comments such as "The winner of the night" and "She's incredible" flooded social media, with many praising her originality and creativity.
Closing out the best-dressed list was Lisa, whose cream-colored Mugler gown exuded effortless elegance. The corseted bodice, with a flowing veil-like drape, gave the Blackpink singer an ethereal look that fans couldn’t get enough of. Her silver accessories only added to the refined feel of the ensemble.
Fans were in awe of her look, with some calling her a "fashion icon" and a "rockstar." One particularly enthusiastic fan declared, "She looks stunning! A rockstar and fashion icon," echoing the widespread admiration for her monochromatic, effortlessly chic outfit.

While some stars left fans in awe, others missed the mark entirely. The next set of outfits stirred major reactions, but not for the reasons their wearers might have hoped.
Paris Hilton is no stranger to making bold fashion statements, but this time her choice left fans less than impressed. The multi-hyphenate arrived at the VMAs in a crystal-strewn, ripped silver dress, complete with a matching clutch and shoes.

Her sleek, wet-hair look didn't help elevate the outfit, which many felt missed the mark entirely. Social media wasn't kind to Hilton's look, with fans calling it "horrible" and "tacky."

One viewer wrote, "There are so many better-looking dresses she could have chosen to wear," capturing the general sentiment that this wasn't Hilton's best fashion moment. Her choice was seen as one of the night's biggest misses.
