Sabrina Carpenter’s 2025 MTV VMAs Dress Was So Lacy & Sheer

Sabrina Carpenter is no stranger to naked dressing, particularly on stage. Between her Short n’ Sweet Tour concert looks and Man’s Best Friend music videos, she practically exclusively dresses in lingerie. Carpenter brought her signature spicy sensibilities to the 2025 MTV VMAs, where she debuted her nakedest red carpet look yet — in Valentino, no less.

Sabrina’s Red-Hot Lace Dress

At the 2024 VMAs, Carpenter made headlines when she took the stage and made out with a blue-skinned alien mid-song. This year, she didn’t need to lock lips with an extraterrestrial being to make jaws drop — her gown did it for her.

Boldly matching the red carpet, Carpenter’s ruby gown featured a high neck, long sleeves, and a floor-length hem — but the look wasn’t as conservative as it sounds. Save for the intricate lace embroidery and a smattering of sequins, the piece was utterly see-through, putting her skin-matching bodysuit on display.

For an air of Old Hollywood glamour, she threw on a fur stole in a more muted lavender hue.

She Wore Over 10 Carats Of Bling

Sequins weren’t the only glitzy details in Carpenter’s outfit. Frosted in Tiffany & Co. bling, the “Tears” singer wore dangling earrings with teardrop-shaped sparklers and a ring featuring more than 10 carats of diamonds.

A Moment For Her Frosted Makeup

As for her glam, the “Espresso” hitmaker kept to her signature curls and styled them in tousled, voluminous waves. Meanwhile, she switched up her makeup from her usual pink cheeks, which spurred TikTok’s “blush blindness” trend. Instead, she mostly kept the rosy pigment on her lips and opted for frosted white eye makeup for a “doe-eyed” effect.

If there’s one thing everyone knows about Carpenter, it’s that she never passes up the opportunity to be a little cheeky. So, despite this sophisticated red carpet glam, stay tuned for her performance. That should be a lingerie dream.
