Rouge hues have taken off this year after scarlet shades took the runways of Valentino, Carolina Herrera and Emilia Wickstead by storm during the fall 2023 season. Stars including Selena Gomez, Florence Pugh and Kylie Jenner have brought the trend into 2024, incorporating red at events such as the Golden Globes and Paris Couture Week.

At the MTV Video Music Awards on Monday in Elmont, New York, the fiery fad was embraced by singers like Halsey and Halle Bailey. Below, see the best red looks at the ceremony.
