Doja Cat Applies Red Lipstick on 2025 VMAs Red Carpet — And Eats It

The "Paint the Town Red" rapper made the bold move upon her arrival at the awards ceremony, sparking buzz and excitement among fans. See the video below.

Doja Cat has taken the internet by storm once again. The singer attended MTV's 2025 Video Music Awards on Sunday evening, September 7, and delivered yet another jaw-dropping moment on the red carpet.

She dazzled in a bold mini dress patterned in pastel yellow and lavender diamonds, accented with a plunging neckline lined in sparkling pink embellishments. The fitted silhouette was paired with towering pale-yellow platform heels adding a dramatic height to the playful look.

Doja completed the ensemble with voluminous, retro-inspired curls, statement earrings, and a glittering clutch, while her bold red lipstick tied the glam together. In a video circulating online, she can be seen walking the red carpet ahead of the ceremony and posing for pictures.

As the cameras click and flash, the artist pulls out a red lipstick and begins applying it — and then she takes a bite. The moment went viral and reactions from fans poured in.

"It was probably candy or icing I hope. Lol," one viewer playfully speculated. "If that was real red lipstick, her teeth would've been Hella red after 😂," another observed.

"Always doing the most lol," a third remarked. "Finally bringing some character back to the VMAS🔥🔥❤️," another approving netizen added.

When later asked how the red lipstick tasted, Doja quipped, "Oh, it was delicious." Whether the beauty item was real or a sweet treat, however, remains a mystery.
