The MTV Video Music Awards 2024 have begun, and Chappell Roan’s behaviour has already got the internet talking.

Chappell, 26, was among the first stars to walk the VMAs carpet, donning a risqué Joan of Arc-esque outfit.

Draped in sheer fabric and also serving Florence Welch realness, the Good Luck, Babe! hitmaker left little to the imagination with a plunging neckline and material that exposed her breasts.

Accessorising by carrying a rather intimidating sword, the pop sensation, who is performing tonight, kept a stern face for cameras before unintentionally creating a viral moment.

Having seemingly been told to ‘shut the f**k up’ by one of the paparazzi clan, the Red Wine Supernova singer then turned around with an angry expression, pointing her finger and yelling: ‘You shut the f**k up!’

Stepping forward and continuing to point, she stated: ‘No, not me.’

The crowd started jeering as an assistant fixed Chappell’s dress on the unconventional black carpet before she composed herself to pose for pics.

Her appearance at the VMAs comes after she cancelled her European tour dates in order to rehearse for the coveted ceremony, where the likes of Sabrina Carpenter will also perform.

Chappell released a statement saying she was ‘heartbroken’ by the decision before fans turned on her and branded her ‘disrespectful’ for having skewed priorities.

Following Chappell’s red carpet episode, fellow performer Sabrina, 25, rocked up in a look that will be familiar to long-time award show viewers.

In a strapless silver gown embellished with sequins and with a low-cut neckline, the Espresso hitmaker wore the same Bob Mackie gown that Madonna wore to the 1991 Academy Awards, where she performed the night’s best song winner, Sooner or Later.

Sabrina injected colour into the look with a glossy red lip, accessorising with a similar silver necklace, and wearing her blonde locks in a bouncy blowout.

Other stars strutting their stuff on the carpet included Halsey, whose red animal print ensemble caught everyone’s eye, followed by Shawn Mendes’ classic black suit.

Lenny Kravitz went for his signature material – leather, going shirtless underneath and merely covering his torso with an oversized leather tie.

Megan Thee Stallion will host live tonight from the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York.

With 12 nominations, Taylor Swift is up for the most awards tonight.

Post Malone follows with nine nominations while Ariana Grande, Eminem, and Sabrina Carpenter have six each.

Katy Perry is also set to receive the prestigious Video Vanguard Award and will perform a medley of her hits.

Other performers include Camila Cabello, GloRilla, and Rauw Alejandro.
