The VMAs After-Party Outfits That Rivaled the Red Carpet

The red carpet at tonight's MTV Video Music Awards was nothing short of spectacular. Taylor Swift stunned in a sultry Versace number while BFF Selena Gomez went with a custom Oscar de la Renta dress in fire-engine red. Olivia Rodrigo shimmered thanks to thousands of Swarovski crystals sewn into her Ludovic de Saint Sernin dress. Oh, and don't get me started on Cardi B's metallic dress by Dilara Findikoglu. Now that was a show-stopper. 

However, the fun doesn't end there. The after-party looks were just as daring, exciting, and fashion-forward as the main red carpet. Keep reading to see what Gomez, Ice Spice, and others wore to the 2023 VMAs after parties.

Associate Director, Fashion News

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 12 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
