Ayra Starr was no doubt one of the most eagerly anticipated stars at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, following the release of her music video for the viral single “hot body.” Fans were on tenterhooks, eager to see what the talented Nigerian singer would wear for this prestigious event.
And she did not disappoint. Known for her daring and dynamic style, the singer chose to showcase one of her signature, Gen Z-inspired ensembles, turning heads as she walked the red carpet. While Starr often graces such occasions in flirty dresses or chic miniskirts paired with towering heels, this year she opted for a striking strappy leather look that perfectly encapsulated her evolving fashion sense.
