Addison Rae sure knows how to make an entrance. The “Diet Pepsi” singer arrived to the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards wearing panties, an ultra-padded bra, and some ruffled chiffon layered on her backside. The 21-year-old TikToker turned pop star has been all about blurring the sartorial lines. From her coned bra in her latest single to the whipped cream bathing suit she wore on Instagram, Rae loves a crazy fashion moment no matter what people have to say about it.

While the red carpet look has been met with mixed reviews, the Madonna interpretation is undeniable. Madonna notably wore an all white look during her “Like A Virgin” era that can be viewed as key inspiration for Rae’s look today on the carpet.

Rae finished off her look with white peep toe heels and a deep side part. She kept it quite simple with the makeup, giving us an almost bare-faced moment. Rae shared on the carpet that her look was in fact inspired by Madonna, adding in her own personal Addison Rae pizazz.

Rae is one of the newer pop girlies making waves in the industry, but she also isn't afraid to be different. To be remembered in fashion you have to be unafraid of making a statement — even if its one that not everyone will agree with. While her red carpet look was an absolute moment, some felt it wasn't all that great. Rae, in response to the critiques, posted to Instagram saying: “Don’t like it? Unfollow b😘,” which is the perfect mindset when exploring fashion.

Rae once was just a content creator up and down our “for you page,” and now, she’s sitting amongst a lot of our musical faves and having viral fashion moments, something most TikTokers can only dream about.
