The MTV Video Music Awards returned to Los Angeles on September 27, 2026, and ten guests on Nylon's red carpet gallery come with a named designer. Those credits are the only ones used below.
Who wore what
| Guest | Designer credited |
|---|---|
| Lisa | Quine Li (coat), The Attico (dress) |
| Charli xcx | Saint Laurent (custom) |
| Troye Sivan | Erdem |
| Teyana Taylor | Zuhair Murad |
| Rei Ami | Hila NYC |
| Sombr | ERL Artisanal |
| Belmont Cameli | Ferragamo |
| Chlöe | Chopard (jewelry) |
| Lisa Rinna | Seks |
| Paris Hilton | Mowalola |
In the gallery, Lisa's entry is the most specific: it names two pieces, a Quine Li coat and a dress from The Attico. Charli xcx's credit reads "custom Saint Laurent", and Chlöe's credit is Chopard jewelry rather than clothing. For the other guests the gallery gives a designer name and nothing more, so the label is the one reliable detail about their looks.
Eleven other guests in the same gallery have no designer credit at all: FLO, Ciara Miller, Slayyyter, Olandria, Raye, Blu DeTiger, Sienna Spiro, Ella Bright, PinkPantheress, Normani and Tyla. Their looks are not covered by this table, and no label should be assumed for them.
What it means for the reader
A note on method: the observation below is drawn from this one gallery and from ten credits, not from a count of the whole red carpet. Within that small list, long-established names such as Saint Laurent, Ferragamo and Zuhair Murad appear next to newer or smaller labels: Hila NYC, ERL Artisanal, Seks, Mowalola and Quine Li. No single house accounts for more than one entry.
Lisa's outfit carries a practical point for anyone shopping a look. The coat and the dress come from two labels, Quine Li and The Attico, so a "get the look" article built on only one of them covers half the outfit. For a reader who wants a specific piece, the designer name is the search term to use.
The Chopard credit for Chlöe works the same way. It points to jewelry, so anyone trying to track down her look should search for the jewelry credit separately from any clothing.
Two cautions follow from the gallery itself. First, a credit such as "custom Saint Laurent" describes a piece made for one guest, so it should not be read as an item that can be found in a store. Second, a label name tells a reader who made the piece, not what it looks like; for cut, color and fabric, the photos in the gallery are the place to look.
