Eye-catching gowns seem to be the theme of the 2023 Video Music Awards, which has a female-dominated artist of the year category for the first time in the show’s history.
Taylor Swift, Rita Ora and Olivia Rodrigo were among the artists turning heads as they arrived for the ceremony, which is taking place at New Jersey’s Prudential Centre.
