Sabrina Carpenter just strolled into the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, ready to serve Hollywood glamour on a silver platter. It all went down at the UBS Arena on a wild Wednesday night (September 11) in Elmont, New York—where the stars are bright, but Sabrina? She’s practically a solar flare.
Now, brace yourselves, because this story involves the queen herself: Madonna. Sabrina clearly took a trip through time (or maybe her closet?) and re-emerged rocking the exact same vintage Bob Mackie dress that Madonna once slayed the world in. Yes, THAT Madonna. The one who’s been voguing longer than most of us have been breathing. This dress is so legendary, it practically has its own Walk of Fame star.
Madonna originally wore it to an after-party in 1991, right after the Academy Awards, casually hanging out with none other than Michael Jackson. As one does, you know? No big deal. Sabrina, meanwhile, rolled up to the VMAs ready to perform AND scoop up a mountain of shiny trophies. Coincidence? I think not.
But wait, Sabrina’s night is just getting started. She’s nominated for so many awards, even the envelopes are sweating. We’re talking Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Editing for her banger “Espresso” (which might also be how she stays so energized). Plus, she’s in the running for Song of the Summer, Best Art Direction, Best Direction for her hit “Please Please Please,” and Best Pop. Honestly, at this point, if they create an award for “Most Likely to Be Nominated for Literally Everything,” she’d win that too.
And in case you’re wondering, the 2024 MTV VMAs will be hosted by none other than Megan Thee Stallion, which basically means we’re in for a wild ride. Things kick off at 8pm ET/PT on MTV, so grab your snacks and prepare for some epic performances, dazzling outfits, and at least one “oops” moment caught on camera. Let’s hope Sabrina’s dress has no plans for a wardrobe malfunction because, honey, Madonna’s legacy doesn’t need that kind of plot twist.
