Top 25 Best & Worst Dressed at the MTV VMAs 2026 (Taylor Swift, Madonna, Lisa Rinna)

The 2026 MTV Video Music Awards swapped the red carpet for a bright blue one, and that single choice decided who glowed and who faded into the floor. We are counting down the top 25 best and worst dressed celebrities at the VMAs 2026, from the couture gown critics crowned the best of the night to the looks the internet is still arguing about. We break down the full blue carpet with stars like Taylor Swift, Madonna, Lisa Rinna, Paris Hilton, Teyana Taylor, LISA, RAYE and more, including the gown that had to be sewn on just before the carpet, the outfit that fell apart five minutes before the car arrived, and the Dolly Parton tribute that had everyone reaching for tissues.
