Kacey’s Musgraves’ 2021 VMAs dress worked hard, but her hat worked wayyyyy harder. Fresh off the release of her new album star-crossed, Musgraves walked the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards red carpet dressed to stop traffic. With a form-fitting purple dress; extra-long, red leather gloves; and an enormous feathered purple hat that’s bigger than she is, Musgraves made it clear she didn’t come to play.

Before we dive into the hat, let’s have a moment for Kacey Musgraves’ 2021 VMAs dress, shall we? The singer’s short, royal purple number is sweet and simple.

Cinched at the waist, the purple design boasts some strategic draping along the skirt. Musgraves’ stylist paired the look with stand-out red leather gloves that sit at her upper arms, as well as some simple, PVC-strap heels.

Now, let’s chat this hat. Musgraves’ VMAs hat, with lengthy royal purple feathers that matched her dress to a T, could easily be compared to Mary Poppins’ iconic bag.

As big as it is, Musgraves’ hat doesn’t necessarily take away from the overall look. It adds the fun, playful touch to her otherwise simple look that Musgraves is known for.

Musgraves’ 2021 VMAs dress was only complemented by her makeup, which played off the look beautifully, without going overboard.

Peeking through her hat’s feathers, Musgraves’ iridescent purple eyeshadow reflected in the light, serving as the standout beauty element alongside her soft blush and pinky-nude lips.
