Anitta arrives at the 2024 MTV VMAs.
The 31-year-old Brazilian singer made a welcome appearance at the event on Wednesday, September 11, wearing a head-to-toe white look that screamed bride.
Her corset-style mini dress featured string woven over sheer panels and a tulle skirt that matched her hooded robe. She also wore thigh-high stockings and strappy high-heeled silver sandals.
“[I’m] manifest to the world and see if something happens,” she said of her bridal-inspired look during MTV’s pre-show red carpet. “It’s just a joke, but maybe. maybe yes, maybe no?”
