Lisa Rinna's VMAs fashion statement and tribute to Madonna

Rinna wore a custom white sculptural gown by New York-based label Seks at the 2026 VMAs, according to Parade. The outfit featured a sculpted breastplate and a flowing draped skirt with a thigh-high slit. The actress paired the gown with her short hair dyed platinum blonde, creating a look that Parade described as reminiscent of a Greek goddess and Madonna.

Rinna explained to E! News that Madonna was the main reason she attended the ceremony. Describing herself as a "huge devotee of the queen," she said,

"There's one reason I'm here: Madonna."

She recalled watching Madonna perform Like a Virgin at the inaugural MTV Video Music Awards in 1984, wearing her famous Boy Toy belt. Rinna said the performance had a lasting impact on her.

"That Boy Toy belt and rolling around on the floor like that, we'd never seen any woman so free."

Rinna added that watching Madonna had changed her life and helped her feel liberated.

Madonna returned to the VMAs stage for her first performance at the ceremony in 23 years, according to E! News' September 27 report. The singer also led the nominations with 13, followed by Taylor Swift with 11, Sabrina Carpenter with nine, Ariana Grande with eight, and Bruno Mars with seven.
