The 2023 VMA will be livestreamed Tuesday night at the Prudential Center in New Jersey, and Thewrap will announce the arrival of the stars as they step onto the red carpet**.
* Home is always the biggest adventurer on the red carpet. Who can forget Lil Kim's purple pie or Lady Gaga's flesh-colored dress? For men, Lil Nas X has been changing the way they dress in recent years.
Take a look back at the most bizarre fashions from past MTV VMAs and learn about the looks for 2023 here.
Gwen Stephanie (1998 VMA).
There's no doubt that "Gwen Stefani's style is outstanding, but judging by her blue fur bikini, matching hair, and platform flip-flops, the look is too much." Today, she is likely to be accused of cultural appropriation of her face jewelry and henna tattoos.
Lil King (1999 VMA).
The rapper lets it all hang outside, her boobs barely covered in glittering purple pies.
Jennifer Lopez (2000 VMA).
Macy Gray (VMA 2001).
Macy Gray took self-promotion to new heights, wearing this gorgeous gown to the 2001 VMA Awards ceremony.
lady gaga (2010 vma)
Who can forget Lady Gaga's infamous flesh-colored dress and boots, which were tied together with butcher's twine? After the incident, it was dehydrated into jerky and is now in the museum.
Cher (2010 VMA).
Gaga was no one else receiving the Luna Award for none other than the living legend Cher (CHER), who wore a mesh jumpsuit similar to the one she wore in the If I Could Turn Back Time** video more than 20 years ago.
Nikki Minaj (2011 VMA).
Before we all wore masks during the pandemic, Nicki Minaj wore them as part of this Harajuku-style outfit.
Katy Perry (2014 VMA).
Katy Perry wore this all-denim dress, perhaps as a nod to the denim outfits that Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake wore at the 2001 American** Awards.
Amber Rose (2014 VMA).
Back in 1998, Rose McGowan first brought the trend to VMA, but her barely non-existent "chain" dress was too snappy for us to post in this gallery. Amber Rose wore this more discreet and shimmering version in 2014.
Blac Chyna and Amber Rose (2015 VMA).
The following year, Ross issued a statement — literally — wearing a **tights painted with derogatory terms for women. She and Blac Chyna tried to raise awareness about "SL-T shaming."
Miley Cyrus (2015 VMA).
Former child star Miley Cyrus attracted attention with this revealing look, and her chest was covered with only a silver suspender.
Miley Cyrus (2015 VMA).
Cyrus changes into this inflatable pink dress with a pig's nose bow to accept her moon man.
Kim Kardashian (2016 VMA).
Kim Kardashian has mimicked this "wet" look on the carpet several times, but the reality star stands out in this sheer vintage Galliano dress that hangs over her shoulders.
Cady B (2017 VMA).
The most outrageous thing about this ivory corset and pants set is how conservative it is for Cardi!
Lil Nas X (2021 VMA).
From lavender to off-the-shoulder silhouettes, the Lil Nas X broke many fashion norms in 2021.
Lil NAS X (MTV VMA 2022).
The following year, the artist returned in an oversized feather dress and matching headdress.
