Chloe Bailey’s Ultra-Sheer VMA Dress Leaves Almost Nothing to the Peacock Theater
At the 2026 MTV VMAs, Chloe Bailey hit the red carpet in a translucent mirrored gown with side cutouts and a cleavage window — then spun so the cameras caught barely-there underwear underneath.
Chloe Bailey did not come to the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards to play it safe — she came in an ultra-sheer mirrored gown that basically filed a transparency report with the Peacock Theater red carpet.
On Sunday, September 27, the 28-year-old — who blew up with sister Halle as Chloe x Halle — stole arrivals in a peekaboo translucent number with splashy mirror work over see-through fabric. Side cutouts showed off a chiseled midriff. A higher cutout did overtime on the cleavage. Backless. Barely-there underwear underneath. When she wheeled around for the cameras, the rear view made Daily Mail’s timeline forget how to breathe. Soft Scoop raunch only — Facebook-safe, still illegal for your auntie’s group chat.
She finished the look with an elegant 1960s-style updo and a smattering of glittering rings — glam on top, chaos underneath. Daily Mail clocked the derriere flash as one of the night’s most forwarded carpet moments, while the rest of the VMAs leaned hard into sheer (looking at you, Charli XCX’s mesh crop and Teyana Taylor’s plunging feathered Zuhair Murad).
Inside, Taylor Swift scooped three awards including the inaugural Artist Director Honors, Video of the Year for The Fate of Ophelia, and Best Direction for Opalite. Madonna stacked seven. Chloe’s job on the carpet was simpler: make every group chat open the same photo.
Creator Watch note: Scoop’s usual Gold Coast Creator Watch lane (@ava_starz / @emma_heart05) had no fresh usable Instagram post today — Emma’s teal scrubs already ran Thursday, Ava’s Castaway exclusive ran last week — so the desk swapped in Chloe’s VMA sheer as the Tuesday morning opener. Real-world influencer rules still locked for Ava/Emma whenever they drop next.
Scoop’s verdict? Mirror work: locked. Underwear: noted. Chloe Bailey just made the 2026 VMAs carpet look like a press release.
