Charli xcx attended the MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles on September 27 wearing Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello.

Styled by Chris Horan, she wore a custom black two-piece inspired by a design from Vaccarello’s Fall 2017 ready-to-wear collection. The velvet crop top featured exaggerated sleeves and a sheer tulle jersey panel across the bust, paired with a long, low-waisted velvet skirt.

Charli xcx’s style mixed gothic romance with the sensuality of clubwear. Smoky eyes and a nude lip reinforced the dark mood, while straight, center-parted hair kept the beauty styling sleek.

She received four nominations at this year’s ceremony, including Best Pop and Best Art Direction for “SS26.”
