Chloe Bailey debuts bold new look at 2026 MTV VMAs

Singer Chloe Bailey made a significant fashion statement at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. Wearing a shimmering, silver-bejeweled gown with mesh fabric and cutouts, Bailey opted for a bolder look than her previous red carpet appearances. The ensemble was paired with champagne-colored Flor de Maria Berta platform sandals and a new aesthetic featuring bleached eyebrows.

During the red carpet event, Bailey experienced a brief wardrobe malfunction, but continued her appearance. Beyond the fashion, the singer used the platform to discuss a new phase in her career, which she described as her ‘resurrection era.’ She noted that she is embracing a mindset of self-belief and taking creative risks to move past previous insecurities and the shadow of her former duo, Chloe x Halle.

Bailey’s appearance coincided with a broader star-studded event featuring performances and appearances by artists such as Madonna, Taylor Swift, and Lisa of BLACKPINK.
