Karol G showcased her eclectic fashion sense on the 2024 VMAs black carpet in New York on Wednesday night.
The Colombian singer arrived at the UBS arena in a pair of strappy PVC sandals that was the centerpiece of her look. She seemingly wore the Amina Muaddi Lupita PVC wedge mules in a bright yellow hue. Consisting of a slightly square design in the upper, the shoes were characterized by a yellow thick strap in the upper region. While the back of her shoes couldn’t be seen completely due to the longer length of her dress, the silhouette finished by a thick block heel measuring between 3-to-4 inches in height.
Co-hosting the pre-VMAs arrival show alongside fellow singer/songwriter Nessa, the artist wore a sleeveless white dress emphasized by an engulfed flame design. Bracelets and rings were the accessory choices for the evening, with the musician keeping her makeup look dewy and simple with a bold red lip. Her hair was styled in a middle part, which served to accentuate her facial structure and makeup.

Strappy sandals are a footwear style that has been around for decades, dating back to the early 1900s and going through many variations over the years. Strappy sandals can come in many different forms, including peep-toe designs, and have been praised for their versatility and ability to work well with a variety of outfits. Many brands such as Chanel, Stuart Weitzman and Christian Louboutin carry strappy sandals as a part of their footwear lineup, offering the style in many different iterations.
While Karol G typically goes for pumps and boots, sometimes she’ll participate in the sandals trend when she’s in the fashion mood. For the 2024 Billboard Women in Music event in March 2024 at the YouTube Theater, the artist opted for a pair of open-back sandals that featured a glittery design matching her dress, a thick strap in the front that held her feet in place and a curved heel measuring between the 3-to-4 inch range.
The 2024 VMAs are being held at the UBS Arena in Long Island, New York City. The show is being hosted by Megan Thee Stallion, and will honor the best music videos, artists and songs released between June 22, 2023 and June 20, 2024. Taylor Swift has the most nominations of the evening with a total of twelve, and Katy Perry will be honored with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.
