The ’90s and 2000s are back, as evidenced by the naked dress trend. From Ashanti to Hailey Bieber, Megan Fox to Ciara, the totally sheer look was alive and well at the 2021 VMAs.

Megan Fox served major body with this sheer ensemble, just like the ’90s icon she was channeling: Rose McGowan. And that wet hair look? Iconic. Few can pull off such a bare look and still make it look as elegant as Megan can.

It may not be sheer, but it certainly was body! Ashanti’s buckle look was meshing hard and soft into an unforgettable ensemble.
Leslie Grace understood the assignment. Her outfit was bold, beautiful, and shimmery — right on trend for the VMAs. It was 1920s flapper-meets-2021 style, and that’s a whole mood.

Bella Poarch brought the drama for her first VMAs. It gave Wednesday Adams attends the Met Gala vibes, and that’s perfectly on brand with Bella’s aesthetic.

Charli XCX or Amy Winehouse? Everything about this look was very VMAs, paying tribute to those of the past while evoking styles that are popular today.
