MTV VMAs 2018: What Cardi B, Shawn Mendes, and More Wore to Radio City Music Hall
The MTV VMAs are always a hotbed for outrageous and over-the-top fashion statements from pop culture icons. Before Destiny’s Child hit the scene in coordinated outfits, TLC showed up with matching all-white looks in 1995, Lil Kim had her purple jumpsuit and nipple pasty look down pat in 1999, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake took the Canadian tuxedo to a whole new level in 2001, and if you fast-forward to the 2010s, Nicki Minaj and Lady Gaga took home the prize for most outrageous red carpet ensembles, with the rapper’s eccentric wigs and the pop diva’s dress made out of literal meat. This year, Cardi B got the red carpet festivities started with red carpet host Winnie Harlow. Then, Shawn Mendes made his color-blocked 2018 VMAs debut. See all of the night’s fabulous looks from the red carpet at Radio City in New York, here.
