This year, the stars came out to play in statement-making looks that are bound to be unforgettable.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1757296993762Screenshot 2025-09-08 092321.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Lady Gaga in Marc Jacobs at the MTV VMAs | Photo from Just Jared</span></span></span></div><p><strong>Lady Gaga</strong> accepted the Artist of the Year award in a larger-than-life, off-the-runway dress from Marc Jacobs’ Fall/Winter 2025 collection.
