When it comes to the MTV VMAs, Doja Cat never plays it safe — and 2025 was no exception. The 29-year-old star stormed the red carpet in a printed Balmain gown, cut with a daring plunging neckline and off-the-shoulder silhouette that demanded attention.

She paired the dress with sky-high peep-toe platform heels and hot pink statement earrings, but the real showstopper was her accessory of choice: a $5,995 Judith Leiber Couture lipstick clutch, encrusted in crystals. Adding to the drama, Doja casually swiped on red lipstick mid-carpet, blending fashion and performance art in one bold move.

The night isn’t just about her outfit. Doja Cat is nominated for Song of the Summer with “Jealous Type” and Best K-Pop for her collab “Born Again” with Lisa and Raye. She’s also set to debut “Jealous Type” live for the first time on stage during the ceremony.

This look was a stark contrast from her 2023 VMAs appearance, where she leaned into minimalist, web-inspired Monse before flipping into “office siren” chic for her performance. In 2025, she’s back to bold — fearless, fashion-forward, and unforgettable.
