The Worst Dressed Celebrities at the 2026 VMAs — From Lisa Rinna to Troye Sivan and More: Photos

Not every look at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards landed.

Held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on September 27, the MTV VMAs had no shortage of daring fashion choices, with plenty of celebrities making headlines for their jaw-dropping red carpet moments. Still, not every fashion gamble paid off, as several stars stepped out in looks that ultimately fell flat at the event.

Scroll down to see which celebrities landed on the worst-dressed list at the 2026 MTV VMAs.

Bebe Rexha brought drama to the 2026 MTV VMAs with her sheer corseted look and lace boots, but the mix of textures and cutouts made the ensemble feel a bit busy overall.

A lot was going on with singer-songwriter Haiden Henderson's look, from the structured jacket worn over a bare chest and a loose white shirt to the contrasting textures and a dramatic red drape.

Podcaster Harry Jowsey looked dapper in the sleek suit — until the eyes traveled down to the trousers, where the fabric bunched heavily at the ankles instead of creating a clean break over his black shoes.

For the 2026 MTV VMAs, Keltie Knight made a bold statement in a leopard-print mini dress, which was overpowered even more by the floral appliqués and studded thigh-high boots.

After Kendall Jenner's eyebrow-raising faux nip slip at the 2026 Met Gala, Lisa Rinna appeared to channel a similar provocative look at the 2026 MTV VMAs. She paired the monochrome ensemble with a short, spiky blonde wig.

British singer-songwriter Meek arrived at the ceremony looking as though she was floating in the clouds in a voluminous white tulle mini that swallowed her silhouette.

PinkPantheress could have easily landed on the best-dressed list, but the overall styling kept the look from fully coming together.

Savannah Demers' look could have turned heads on its own, but the styling of her blush-toned dress lacked the impact needed to make it a true red carpet standout.

For the event, Teddy Swims kept things simple in an all-black look that felt a little too casual for the VMAs red carpet.

The upper half of Troye Sivan's 2026 MTV VMAs look worked well, with the sharp black tailoring and high white collar creating a polished look. But from the waist down, the draped fabric and oversized feathered accents disrupted the suit's otherwise clean lines.
