Taylor Swift is channeling her Reputation era in stunning black dress at 2023 MTV VMAs
Taylor Swift showed up for the 2023 MTV VMAs decked out in a stunning black gown with a thigh-high slit. On Tuesday 12 September, Swift, who is nominated for multiple awards, arrived on the pink carpet at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, for the awards ceremony. For the occasion, she opted for a black, floor-length Versace dress with ruching and gold button details. She paired the look with multiple necklaces and a low updo. Fans were excited by Swift’s all-black ensemble, saying that it was Reputation inspired. One fan wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: “DJ please play dress by Taylor Swift (Reputation Taylor‘s version).” Someone else commented: “NO THOUGHTS JUST TAYLOR SWIFT IN A BLACK DRESS WITH A SLIT.” Tonight, the pop star is leading the 2023 VMA nominations with 11 noms, including three in social categories. Swift is up for Artist of the Year, Video of the Year for “Anti-Hero,” Song of the Year for “Anti-Hero,” Best Pop for “Anti-Hero,” Best Direction for “Anti-Hero,” Best Cinematography for “Anti-Hero,” Best Editing for “Anti-Hero,” and Best Visual Effects for “Anti-Hero.” At the 2022 VMAs, Taylor Swift showed up dripping in diamonds. That night, she notably took home the most awards at the VMAs. She won the Video of the Year, Best Long-Form Video, and Best Direction for “All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version).” Swift also made history that night as the first artist to win Video of the Year three times, a huge record to hold. Her other winning videos include “Bad Blood” and “You Need to Calm Down”.

Saweetie’s ‘caveman’ inspired VMAs dress unsurprisingly sparks comparisons to The Flintstones
It appears that Saweetie has taken her latest fashion inspiration from the Stone Age. On 12 September, the “Best Friend” rapper attended the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) in a pink, sequin gown featuring a halter neck and her hair pulled back into a sleek pony. However, it was the two oversized bones attached to the dress that seemed to capture everyone’s attention. As she posed for photos on the “pink” carpet outside the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, one bone appeared to be tied to her collar, while the other was tied at the waist. The unique dress first debuted in Area’s Fall Winter 2023 collection, which contained several designs full of bones, fur, and animal patterns. While hosting the MTV VMAs pre-show, Saweetie - whose real name is Diamonté Quiava Valentin Harper - explained the reasoning behind her eye-catching look. “The inspiration behind this is fashion when it first started: Cavemen,” she said. Saweetie also appeared to be having fun on the red carpet with her caveman-inspired dress, even kissing the bone in one photo. However, it wasn’t just the “ICY GRL” singer who joined in on the fun. In fact, many people took to X - formally known as Twitter - where they cracked jokes about Saweetie’s VMAs look. Unsurprisingly, a number of awards show viewers compared the rapper’s outfit of choice to something from The Flintstones. “Saweetie looks like a Flintstone,” joked one person on X. “Is she wearing the Fred Flintstone collection?” said someone else. “Are the VMAs being held in Bedrock?” a third user wrote. Despite some critics, many fans still complimented Saweetie’s caveman-inspired outfit. “Saweetie look like a Icy Flintstone,” said one user. “I loveeeee her #VMA”. “Saweetie looks soo cute I love her makeup,” another fan wrote. In addition to Saweetie, there were many other memorable fashion moments at this year’s MTV VMAs. Doja Cat wore a barely-there, white Apocene dress that closely resembled spider webs. Her look featured sparse, white fabric draped across her body, with a pair of nude underwear hidden underneath the ensemble. Meanwhile, VMAs host Nicki Minaj took wedding fashion to a whole new level when she arrived in a pink, corset bodysuit with a sheer, lace skirt and a dramatic vail. Taylor Swift leads this year’s nominees with eight nods, followed closely by “Kill Bill” singer SZA, who holds six nominations. Doja Cat, Kim Petras, Miley Cyrus, Nicki Minaj, Olivia Rodrigo and Sam Smith are tied at five nominations, and BLACKPINK, Diddy and Shakira each received four.
