At the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, Doja Cat left her audience surprised and uncomfortable with an unexpected performance action on the red carpet during the event on Sunday evening.
With an eye-catching 1980s style, the acclaimed Grammy-winning artist, who is 29 years old, certainly drew attention as she entered the glamorous gathering in New York City.
However, the unusual act she performed for the red carpet cameras was what truly sparked an uproar among MTV spectators.
As she playfully smeared red lipstick onto her full lips, Doja surprised photographers by unexpectedly nibbling on the cosmetic item and eating it.
The attractive actress continued to strike poses for photographs, nibbling on a partially consumed lipstick stick.
Supporters of the artist behind “Kiss Me More” rushed to social media to express their reactions to her astonishing performance, leaving numerous individuals utterly stunned after watching a spectacular event unfold live on television.

On platform X, a tweet was read that exclaimed, ‘HOW SHE DEVOURED HER LIPSTICK, OMG!’, as videos of Doja consuming her lipstick gained widespread attention.
Another added: ‘girl why is u eating lipstick [crying emoji]’
It’s not clear whether Doja consumed a real lipstick tube or an eatable prop, but a worried spectator posted on Twitter: ‘Aren’t these actions potentially harmful? Please avoid replicating this at home.’
Nonetheless, numerous dedicated supporters of Doja Cat lavished her with compliments for daring to push boundaries during one of the music industry’s most significant events.
One fan joked, ‘a queen never goes hungry.’
Another referred to Doja’s lipstick chow down as a ‘tasty fashion statement.’
Some considered the moment iconic, while others believed it was Doja Cat subtly hinting at her alleged forthcoming single, “Lipstain,” through teasing.

At the awards event, Doja wore a custom, low-cut Balmain gown with an off-the-shoulder style and a dangerously deep neckline, which placed her among the evening’s high-profile performers.
As a devoted admirer of the 80s aesthetic, I was absolutely smitten by the stunning diamond-print dress that gracefully hugged my idol’s figure during her recent performance. The inner lining, a captivating shade of glitzy pink, served as the perfect frame for showcasing her generous bust, adding an extra touch of allure to an already enchanting outfit.
She rocked a head of voluminous golden blonde curls and stood on tall Pleaser heels.
For added glamour, Doja carried a bedazzled clutch shaped like a tube of red lipstick.
The 2025 MTV Video Music Awards are being held at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York.
There’s no question that everyone’s attention will be focused on Lady Gaga, given she’s coming back to the awards stage for the first time in five years.
Tonight, the music legend who’s 39 years old has been nominated for a record-breaking 12 awards, among which is the prestigious Video of the Year award, shared with Bruno Mars, for their hit duet called “Dying With A Smile.
Gaga currently boasts 18 Video Music Awards (VMAs) and her supporters eagerly await her potentially amassing even more trophies this year.
This year also marks the third time that Gaga led MTV’s list of VMA nominees.
Previously, she led the rankings with 13 nominations in 2010 and matched that feat in 2020 by sharing the top spot with a total of 9 nominations.
In this instance, Lady Gaga, renowned for her hit “Bad Romance,” trails behind her collaborator, Bruno Mars, in terms of Grammy nominations. Bruno Mars boasts an impressive 11 nominations, while Kendrick Lamar follows closely behind with 10 nominations.
Last year, Taylor Swift didn’t put out any new singles or albums, which means she’s only nominated in the Artist of the Year category with fewer chances to win.
As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share that Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, better known as Lady Gaga, revealed her plans to make a comeback on stage for an upcoming performance last week.
She is set to participate alongside an exciting roster that features artists like Doja Cat, Mariah Carey, Jelly Roll, Sabrina Carpenter, Post Malone, Tate McRae, J Balvin, and several others.
Previously, Lady Gaga graced the VMAs stage alongside Ariana Grande in 2020, where they performed their hit dance-pop duet “Rain On Me”.
As a lifestyle expert, let me share with you an exciting lineup of stars who will be gracing our event: I’ll be joined by the dynamic duo Ciara and Ashlee Simpson Ross, the multitalented Drew Barrymore, the fashion-forward Jessica Simpson, the hilarious Nikki Glaser, the iconic Paris Hilton, the energetic Livvy Dunne, and the rising sensation Ice Spice. Get ready for an unforgettable experience with these remarkable individuals!
The well-known rapper and actor, LL Cool J, is set to host an upcoming event that will make its debut on a significant television network – CBS. The event will also be accessible for those with premium accounts on Paramount+, and it will simultaneously air on MTV.
