Getting VMAs Ready With Shaboozey

Getting VMAs Ready With Shaboozey

Sep 13, 2024

Shaboozey has had quite the year. With his massive hit “Bar Song (Tipsy)” currently spending its ninth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, the singer has made it clear that he’s here to stay. With his unique blend of rap, country and pop, the Virginia-born artist occupies a distinct modern Americana lane that suits him well. As his Instagram bio reads: “COWBOYS LIVE FOREVER.”

This theme carried on at the 2024 Video Music Awards, where Shaboozey shined in a suave all-Margiela look that made heads turn on the red carpet. A twisted take on the cowboy aesthetic, he wore black Tabi boots with a leather Saint Laurent tie and Western-style button-up.

From the car to the carpet to inside the show, where he and Chappell Roan hugged and gabbed, he carried himself with an effortless style and signaled the makings of a true timeless star.

Check out photos of Shaboozey getting ready for the carpet, below, along with his personalized captions about the look and awards show.

Trust me, this takes longer than you think...
