Camila Cabello Embraces Gothic Inspiration in Intricate Lace Tony Ward Dress With Veil for MTV VMAs 2024 Red Carpet

Camila Cabello embraced a bevy of ornate detailing in her strapless dress for the 2024 MTV VMAs red carpet in New York City on Wednesday. The “I Luv It” singer paired a black veil with intricate lace details to her dress for the music industry awards show.

Cabello opted for a look courtesy of Tony Ward’s fall 2024 couture collection. The strapless dress included a fitted silhouette for a defined waist and slim skirt. All over the dress were intricate beads and patterning that gave the gown an illusion effect atop nude fabric.

Along with the dress, Cabello wore a black veil with lace detailing on the trim that cascaded past her arms. The L’Oréal Paris spokesperson accessorized her look with layers of necklaces, which featured a cross motif. Although Cabello spent the summer rocking blond tresses, her hair was a raven black hue.

Cabello’s look was curated by stylist Katie Qian, who also worked with singer Tyla on her viral 2024 Met Gala look.

Lebanese-Italian fashion designer Ward’s pieces have been worn by other A-list stars over the course of the past year. Janelle Monáe styled one of the designer’s looks for the NFL Honors in Las Vegas last February.

Cabello is nominated for two 2024 MTV VMAs. The singer received nominations for Best Trending Video for her song “I Luv It” featuring Playboi Carti and she’s nominated for Best Pop artist.
