At the 2025 MTV VMAs afterparties, Love Island USA breakout star Olandria Carthen proved she’s not just a red-carpet favorite but a post-show fashion force to be reckoned with. Photographers captured Carthen swapping her bold VMA red carpet gown for a sultry, rhinestone-studded sheer black mini that shimmered under the lights — complete with black stockings and crystal earrings that kept her look dazzling well into the night. Her standout style moment at the afterparties added another memorable chapter to her rapidly rising profile in celebrity fashion circles.
