Tate McRae Stuns in Sheer Catsuit With Bold Strip of Fabric for Third VMAs Look

Tate McRae wasn’t content with just one standout red carpet moment at the 2025 MTV VMAs — she delivered three.

The 22-year-old star made her entrance in a white Ludovic de Saint Sernin ensemble, featuring a structured bra top that held up a diaphanous layer of sheer fabric doubling as a flowing skirt. On the carpet, McRae revealed the look was a tribute to the “scorned woman,” inspired by Medusa “turning [boys] into stone.” The edgy-meets-ethereal concept set the tone for the night.

Later, the “Sports Car” hitmaker took the stage to perform the track in a sparkling performance look — an embellished white bandeau bra paired with matching short shorts that shimmered under the lights, combining athletic edge with pop star glamour.

But McRae saved her boldest look for last. For her third appearance, she stunned in a sheer catsuit with only a strip of fabric running down the front, a daring finale that pushed VMAs fashion to its limits. Styled with strappy metallic heels, tousled blonde waves, and glowy makeup, the look sealed her status as one of the night’s ultimate style risk-takers.

There were plenty of other major fashion moments at the ceremony, too. Ariana Grande made her return to the VMAs with not one but four dramatic dark Glinda looks, courtesy of stylist Law Roach. Meanwhile, Sabrina Carpenter gave a rainy sartorial tribute to Britney Spears during her performance of “Tears.”

From a Medusa-inspired carpet entrance to a sparkling stage set and a barely-there catsuit, Tate McRae turned the VMAs into her personal runway — while sharing the spotlight with some equally unforgettable fashion moments.
