As LL Cool J was wrapping up his opening monologue, a pre-recorded video of Doja Cat appeared on the jumbotron, cheekily interrupting the host. She playfully apologized for the "rude" interruption and introduced her performance of "Jealous Type" alongside saxophonist Kenny G. The crowd erupted in applause as Doja's bold move set the tone for the evening.
But the drama didn’t end there. On the red carpet, Doja Cat made headlines by eating her icnic red lipstick. Turns out, she's not that crazy - the lipstick in question was a chocolate replica created by renowned pâtissier Amaury Guichon—perfectly blending fashion, fun, and audacity. The stunt also marked her official role as global ambassador for MAC Cosmetics, a partnership she called her “paint, armor, and way of creating characters.”
Her fashion choices were equally unforgettable. Doja donned a bedazzled Balmain dress paired with towering Pleasers, turning heads and sparking conversations across social media.
While Lady Gaga’s multiple wins were a highlight, Doja Cat’s unpredictable antics—interrupting LL Cool J, eating her lipstick, and delivering a show-stopping performance—added layers of excitement and unpredictability, making the 2025 VMAs a night fans won’t soon forget.
