Tate McRae’s third VMAs look was sheer chaos—in the best way—melding performance art with post-party provocation, and a strip of fabric that did the most.
If the VMAs are fashion’s playground, Tate McRae came to swing. After two already-talked-about looks and a high-octane performance, McRae closed the night with a third outfit that felt like a sartorial mic drop. On the red carpet, she posed with two Moon Person trophies in hand, dressed in a sheer black catsuit that blurred the line between costume and couture.
The catsuit—entirely sheer and stitched with visible seams—was a study in minimal coverage, maximal impact. A strip of black fabric wrapped across her chest in a criss-cross bandeau, tied at the waist like a deconstructed sash. Beneath, black underwear provided the only opaque contrast, anchoring the look in just enough modesty. The silhouette was body-hugging but not restrictive, allowing McRae to move with ease and confidence. It was a look that dared the viewer to blink.
