Following the coveted awards ceremony, Carpenter joined several A-listers at the VMAs Afterparty and the singer made sure to stand out. She wore a bold, halter-style bodysuit adorned with vibrant strips of pink, black, and teal fabric, each accented with metallic grommets for a rocker-chic edge.

The design featured dramatic thigh-high slits created by the cascading panels, giving the outfit movement and a daring, skin-baring effect. She paired the statement piece with metallic platform heels, while her voluminous blonde curls and glowing makeup amplified the look's playful, disco-inspired energy.

The bodysuit was originally made by couturier designer Bob Mackie for Cher in 1975 for her performance of "Shame Shame Shame" alongside Tina Turner, who wore a shorter variation of the same design.

It was sold by Julien's Auctions for $6,400 back in 2018, while Turner's version fetched $8,960. As of now, however, Carpenter's glam team has yet to confirm where they sourced hers. In the meantime, check out the singer’s Britney Spears-inspired costume for her VMAs performance.
