Anitta made an unforgettable splash at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, delivering two standout moments that perfectly showcased her flair for dramatic fashion and electrifying performances.
Red Carpet Entrance: Gothic Glamour
The Brazilian pop sensation arrived at the VMAs in a gothic-inspired white ensemble that commanded attention from the moment she hit the red carpet. Anitta’s custom Dolce & Gabbana minidress, with its intricate lacing and translucent hood, was a hauntingly beautiful vision of elegance and edge. The dress featured flowing streams of white fabric that trailed behind her, adding a touch of ethereal drama.
To soften the bold bondage-inspired look, Anitta paired the minidress with sheer white thigh-high stockings and open-toed silver stilettos. Her accessories were equally striking, with sculptural silver bracelets, a diamond collar necklace, and dangling diamond earrings catching the light as she moved. A shimmering silver and purple eyeshadow, complemented by mauve lip gloss, enhanced her ethereal appearance.
On-Stage Extravaganza: From Fishnets to Bling
Later in the evening, Anitta took to the VMAs stage for her third consecutive year, and her performance was nothing short of spectacular. She performed a dynamic medley of “Savage Funk” and “Alegría,” and introduced her new track “Paradise,” which featured guest appearances from Fat Joe, DJ Khaled, and Tiago PZK.
For her performance, Anitta switched into a bold fishnet bodysuit that was a striking contrast to her red carpet look. The bodysuit, adorned with rhinestones, was layered with a bedazzled white bra that highlighted a detailed harness design. Completing the ensemble were white joggers covered in sequins and platform sneakers decorated with silver rhinestones, ensuring every inch of her look sparkled under the stage lights.
A Historic Night
This year, Anitta was also up for three VMAs, with nominations including Best Latin for her hit “Mil Veces” and Best Editing. Her collaboration with Peso Pluma on “Bellakeo” earned her another nod in the Best Latin category. She took home the Moon Person for Best Latin for her solo work, marking another milestone in her career.
Anitta’s history-making moment at the VMAs began in 2022, when she became the first Brazilian artist to win a Video Music Award with her viral hit “Envolver.” Reflecting on her success, Anitta shared her gratitude with fans and family: “I really wasn’t expecting that—I think I’m going to cry. I just want to say for whoever doesn’t know this, tonight in history is the first time ever that Brazil … it’s the first time ever that my country has won an award [like this]. I just want to say thank you to my family and to my fans.”
With her stunning fashion choices and electrifying performances, Anitta has once again proven why she’s one of the most captivating artists of our time, leaving an indelible mark on the 2024 VMAs.
