Anitta attended the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday in Newark, New Jersey, wearing a bold red Schiaparelli couture gown.
The Brazilian singer, whose international appeal has amassed her more than 63 million followers on Instagram, arrived at the MTV VMAs wearing an asymmetric red corset dress with a heart motif detail. The dress is from Schiaparelli’s fall 2022 couture collection, which took inspiration from creative director Daniel Roseberry’s teenage years, particularly the work of Christian Lacroix.

The dress was also part of a political statement made by Anitta. As the first Brazilian to ever perform at the VMAs, she was wearing the colors of former Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s party, who is leading in the polls against the incumbent Brazilian president, Jair Bolsonaro, in this year’s presidential election. Anitta said she was wearing Brazil’s heart on her dress, manifesting her desire for change.
