Doja Cat Applies And Eats Her Lipstick On 2025 VMAs Red Carpet

At the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, Doja Cat shocked everyone by eating lipstick on the red carpet. The 29-year-old artist, known for her bold fashion choices, arrived at New York's UBS Arena in a pastel Balmain minidress with a plunging neckline, paired with pastel yellow heels and a lipstick-shaped clutch by Judith Leiber Couture.

Doja Cat, who is also the global ambassador for MAC Cosmetics, applied bright red MAC lipstick in the shade "Lady Danger" for the cameras. In a surprising twist, she then bit off a chunk of the lipstick and chewed it with a smile, and later told Entertainment Tonight that the lipstick was "delicious."

The stunt was not only a fashion statement but also a nod to her partnership with MAC Cosmetics. In a statement to InStyle, Doja Cat said, "Makeup is my paint, my armor, my way of creating characters—and MAC has always stood for that kind of artistry and freedom."

Doja Cat, nominated for Best K-Pop and Song of Summer at the VMAs, has a history of making headlines with her daring fashion choices. From her sparkly Oscar de la Renta gown at the Met Gala to her Schiaparelli outfit with 30,000 Swarovski crystals, she continues to push boundaries in the fashion world.

The 2025 VMAs, hosted by LL Cool J, also featured performances by Sabrina Carpenter, Mariah Carey, and others. Doja Cat is set to release her new album, Vie, later this month, marking another exciting chapter in her career.
