Justine Skye<\/a> lit up the 2025 MTV VMAs red carpet over the weekend.<\/p>\n On Sunday, Sept. 7, the R&B star attended the award show in Elmont, N.Y., where she sparkled in a silver dress by Dsquared2, just days after she performed her song “Oh Lala” at the MTV Live: Push to the VMAs with Bacard\u00ed pre-party.<\/p>\n The “Bitch in Ibiza” singer gave PEOPLE a behind-the-scenes look at how she got ready for the big day.<\/p>\n “I actually styled myself for the performance. I wanted something that was comfortable to move in and very chill but still chic,” Skye, 30, tells PEOPLE. “My friend Von Ford styled me for the VMAs in a Dsquared2 dress with Maison Spoiled jewelry. This era for me is about feeling sexy, chic and free, and that\u2019s what those looks felt like to me.”<\/p>\n The Bacard\u00ed event marked Skye’s live debut of “Oh Lala,” on which she collaborated with choreographer Dont\u00e9 Colley.<\/p>\n “I\u2019ve been a fan of Dont\u00e9\u2019s work for a while so it was great to finally work together and add another dimension to the track,” she says.<\/p>\n While Skye says she was most looking forward to seeing Lady Gaga’s performance this year, she adds that her favorite VMAs moment was Beyonc\u00e9’s Lemonade medley at the 2016 show.<\/p>\n “[That] was so inspiring to me,” Skye says. “The whole project was such a powerful piece of narrative art, and then seeing it come alive on stage with all the creative choices she made was just unforgettable.”<\/p>\n
