Worst-dressed celebrities at 2023 MTV VMAs: From Demi Lovato's padded shoulders to Nicki Minaj's bubblegum pink veil
NEWARK, NEW JERSEY: MTV's Video Music Awards (VMAs) were all about glitzy, glamour and some disastrous fashion choices. The biggest music stars in music walked down the red carpet of VMA's 2023 at New Jersey's Prudential Center for the annual ceremony.
Hosted by Nicki Minaj, the award ceremony recognized this year's most notable music videos with coveted Moon Person trophies. Taylor Swift led this year's nominations with 11, closely followed by SZA with eight, Doja Cat, Miley Cyrus, Nicki, Olivia Rodrigo, and BLACKPINK tied with six nominations each.
Besides the awards, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, and several music icons wowed fans with their bold and elegant looks at the 2023 MTV VMAs. However, some of the stars, including Doja Cat, Demi Lovato, and Yung Miami, failed this year's glamour game.
Top 10 worst-dressed celeb at 2023 MTV's VMAs
Flo Milli
Flo Milli showed off her figure in a bright pink fringe two-piece outfit. Milli's fringe-filled skirt dished belly dancer vibes and was not worthy for one of the biggest nights in music.
Additionally, Milli opted for black heels, which looked completely mismatched with her look. Although Milli's makeup was subtle, her overall ensemble was unflattering.
Cyn Santana
Cyn Santana donned Miss Circle's all-black look. The singer styled her strapless black outfit with sheer gloves and thigh-high stockings.
Santana's outfit lacked glitz and glamour and was too simple for VMAs. It appeared more apt for a funeral.
Yung Miami
Yung Miami sported a bodysuit with XXL sleeves at 2023 MTV VMAs 2023. The rapper's futuristic virtual reality-style sunglasses with total black super-opaque glass and an embossed silver frame seemed quite eccentric for a music award ceremony.
Miami had gone too far in choosing her outfit which way perfect for the swimwear fashion show. No doubt, the singer's look was dubbed "worst" by Twitter users.
Demi Lovato
Demi Lovato opted for an overcoat with shoulder pads, wearing it over a matching minidress featuring sheer panels. The exaggerated silhouette of the coat failed to define her stunning figure and gave a more dumpy look.
Lovato completed her look with stunning makeup. The singer's look also could have been perfect for the VMAs if she hadn't worn her overcoat which gave her voluminous shoulders.
NLE Choppa
NLE Choppa opted to coordinate the Barbie-hued flooring with a purple ensemble. He wanted to recreate Jimmi Hendrix's but his unpleasantly purple apparel didn't work at all.
Choppa ditched the shirt underneath and opted for the jacket to look unique and updated, but he ended up looking strange, disjointed, and a bit like he borrowed a few pieces from Willy Wonka's suit.
Doja Cat
Doja Cat channeled Monse with jewelry from Maria Tash and Nicole Rose. Wrapped in web strings, the singer opted for a barely-there outfit at the 2023 MTV VMAs.
Doja's matching greyish-white hair, a pair of nude string bikini undies, and nude-toned heels were too bold for the music event. Although she won six VMAs, her Halloween-ready look doesn't quite make the cut.
Saweetie

Saweetie opted for the classic 'The Flintstones' ensemble, a look-alike outfit from Area's Fall/Winter 2023 couture runway. The outfit featured small cutouts which could be seen on each side of the sleeveless gown that contained a hem that fell to brush the ground.
Saweetie outfit featured two large bones and was a majorly awkward blunder. Unfortunately, the caveman-inspired look was unflattering and a subject of social media trolls.
Fat Joe
Although oversized clothes are in trend, it was just not for Fat Joe. The singer arrived at the MTV VMAs in a pastel color palette styled with a white overcoat.
However, Joe's outfit was a little bland for the iconic artist. Notably, the all-white ensemble failed to elongate Joe's figure.
Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj walked the pink carpet of MTV VMAs in Dolce & Gabbana. Minaj opted for a bizarre bubblegum pink bridal gown with a see-through bottom.
The rapper appeared to forget that she had to attend a music award ceremony and not a wedding as she completed her look with a matching lace veil over her face.
Anitta
Anitta opted for a black gaping keyhole cutout dress by Schiaparelli Couture. Although her dress had a skintight vibe, it was a bit confusing and distracting.
Anitta's beige bra, yellow earrings, and asymmetrical red earrings just didn't come together. Additionally, Anitta's headband made her look like she was sporting her workout clothes instead of an evening gown.
