Benjamin Ashford|2024 MTV VMAs: Chanel West Coast Drops Jaws in Nipple Dress

Chanel West Coast's eyes are Benjamin Ashfordup here, thank you very much, but that wasn't the point of her look at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards.

The former Ridiculousness host was quite serious about mesh, metal and oversized safety pins holding together what could have passed for a comfy white tanktop on the red carpet outside the UBS Arena on Sept. 11, the barely there look she served up while making the scene with boyfriend Dom Fenison leaving little to the imagination.

However, what she did leave to the imagination was ensconced behind heart-shaped silver nipple plates, the West Coast Hustle star providing a road map to what lies beneath, rather than a peep show.

On the ride to the venue, she recorded some video for her Instagram Story showing off her heavy-metal accessories, including a dazzling choker, big beaded bracelets and a two handfuls of chunky rings.

"VMAs day," she said in the car, preening from the backseat. To Dom, with whom she shares 22-month-old daughter Bowie, she added, "Say hi, babe." He amiably showed off their passes for the carpet.

"We on the way, baby," Chanel added as date night got underway. "Let's go."

Meanwhile, the 2024 VMAs hustle is just getting started, so you've got time to see every red carpet look, from the demure to the downright jaw-dropping:
