In her first public appearance as a mum at the MTV Video Music Awards, Cardi B slew on the pink carpet in a low-cut body-hugger of a dress by Nicolas Jebran as performers, presenters and nominees arrived for the big night.
The draped velvet-fuchsia number worn by the Bodak Yellow rapper had a high slit to go with its down-to-there neck. It had one long sleeve and draped detailing at the shoulder on the other side.
Minimalistic fashion was the call of the night, with Amber Rose turning up in a red patent leather body suit, channelling Madonna’s infamous conical bustier. Nicki Minaj and Rita Ora went for the look, dressed in Off-White, Jean Paul Gaultier while Jennfier Lopez kept it classy in a shimmery silver Versace gown, with a daring slit.
If there was ever any doubt Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson were a couple, the pink carpet PDA cleared up all doubts.
A Sinple Favor star Blake Lively channelled Diane Keaton’s suited white look in her flowy Ralph & Russo, while Kylie Jenner went for a shorter trench coat style, acing it in her Tom Ford.
The pink carpet also saw a mini cast reunion of The Hills cast, with MTV announcing a new docuseries called The Hills: New Beginnings. MTV said in a statement that it’s slated to premiere next year. It will follow the personal and professional lives of original cast members alongside their children and friends in Los Angeles.
A slew of original cast members reunited on the carpet including Justin Brescia, Stephanie Pratt, Frankie Delgado, Ashley Wahler, Audrina Patridge, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt.
Most of the top nominees, including Drake, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Mars and Gambino, didn’t attend the VMAs. — With AP inputs
