The post 5 Stars Who Stole the Show at the 2023 MTV VMAs Red Carpet appeared first on LUX & LUSH.
]]>Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift was the ceremony’s biggest winner this year—and she collected her whopping nine awards in the edgy asymmetrical black dress by Versace, featuring gold grommets and a high slit.
Cardi B
We can count on Cardi B to pull all the stops at every award ceremony that she attends. She did it once again at the MTV VMAs, and her custom metallic Dilara Findikoglu was one of the night’s most dazzling looks.
Olivia Rodrigo
Speaking of stars who were shining brighter than ever at the VMAs, Olivia Rodrigo hit the red carpet in a backless Ludovic de Saint Sernin gown, covered in over 150,000 Swarovski crystals!
Selena Gomez
Amazing things happen whenever Selena Gomez decides to wear red. She gave us one of the VMAs’ most memorable looks this year in the hot red Oscar de la Renta gown, which featured strings of florals, a halter neckline, and a high slit.
Shakira
Shakira, who was honored with this year’s Video Vanguard Award, changed several outfits at this year’s VMAs, but none of them compares to this sequined backless gold dress by Versace.

]]>Surprise: Beyoncé
Beyoncé is a welcomed addition to artist of the year category, but it’s quite a shocker to see her score her very first nod in this field in a year when she didn’t even release any new music. This year’s nominations in this field were also notable for including zero male nominees.
Snub: Sam Smith and Kim Petras – “Unholy”
Sam Smith and Kim Petras scored five nods for their hit collaboration “Unholy”, but the fact that the best collaboration isn’t one of them left a bitter taste in our mouths.
Surprise: Karol G and Shakira – “TQG”
Despite the omission of “Unholy” in the best collaboration field, this category delivered some pleasant surprises, starting with the inclusion of “TQG” by Karol G and Shakira.
Snub: Blackpink – “Pink Venom”
MTV VMAs voters didn’t show a lot of love to K-pop acts this year, and seeing Blackpink’s “Pink Venom” miss out on the video of the year nomination was definitely the biggest blow.
Surprise: Genre Nods
Individual genre categories, such as best pop, best rock, and best K-pop also delivered several surprise nominations, from Demi Lovato’s “Swine” to Måneskin’s “The Loneliest”.

]]>Dumbbell Side Bend
Stand with your feet hip-width apart while holding lightweight dumbbells at your sides. Bend sideways to the right, lengthening through your spine. Try keeping your neck as neutral as possible by looking forward, not down. Pull the left ribs down by engaging the obliques on the same side and then return to standing upright. Those movements all count as one rep. Do an equal number on both sides.
(@womenshealththai)Knee-High March With a Twist
For this one, begin by standing with your right foot extended behind you. Your hands should be together, reaching up and to the left at about a 45° angle from your face. Keep your core tight, with your weight on your left foot. Pull your right knee up and toward your chest as you bring your hands down and twist your upper body to the right. Re-extend your hands up and out while you tap your right foot behind you. Do an equal number of reps on each side.
Bicycle Crunch
Lie flat on the floor with your lower back pressed to the ground. Lock your fingers together and place them behind your head or touching the sides of your head. Bring your knees in toward your chest, and lift your shoulder blades off the ground. Straighten your right leg out, keeping it above the ground at a 45° angle, and turn your upper body to the left, bringing your right elbow toward the left knee. Make sure your rib cage is moving as well as your elbows. Switch sides and perform the same motion. Altogether that equals one rep.

Many celebrities walked Balenciaga’s recent couture show in Paris rocking black opera gloves and Dua Lipa did a great job pairing them with this lively yellow gown.
