Taylor Swift arrived on the red carpet for the 2023 MTV VMAs in Newark, New Jersey on Tuesday, taking an elevated approach to wearing an all-black look.

In honor of this year’s MTV VMAs, the pop star wore a black Versace dress with an asymmetrical line of the brand’s signature gold buttons and shoulder straps. The dress had a thigh-high list exposing Swift’s legs and showcasing her strappy black stiletto pumps by Jimmy Choo. She accessorized the look with a series of necklaces by Joseph Saidian and Sons, and an Anita Ko diamond earcuff.

To create her look for the evening, Swift worked with her go-to stylist Joseph Cassell, who has been the force behind her Eras Tour looks.

Swift dominates this year’s awards with 11 nominations across categories including Pop Video, Video of the Year, Song of the Summer, Best Visual Effects, Best Cinematography, Best Direction, Best Editing, Song of the Year, Artist of the Year, Album of the Year and Show of the Summer.

Swift currently holds 14 Moon Person trophies, just behind Beyoncé, who has 16, and Madonna, who has 20.

The singer’s multiple nominations come from her album “Midnights” was released last year. It was the 10th studio album from the pop star, and marked her first new body of work since her 2020 albums “Evermore” and “Folklore.”

Since 1984, MTV’s Video Music Awards have celebrated the biggest artists of the year. The 40th VMAs, held at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, are hosted by Nicki Minaj and feature a brand new category: Show of the Summer. Shakira will receive the coveted Video Vanguard Award, while P Diddy is being honored with the Global Icon Award.
