Madison Beer raised the bar with her standout look at the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards.

Pictured at the pre-recorded show last night, the “Baby” singer took the stage to help give out an award in the chicest little black dress. The peek-a-boo cutout Mugler number featured a sheer overlay on top of a black bodysuit design with a high collar and paneled sleeves.

The style came complete with a towering set of sandals, courtesy of Stuart Weitzman.

Beer opted for the brand’s Nudist Hollywood platform silhouette in a sleek black satin colorway, continuing the monochromatic appeal of her look. The style is set atop a lifted front toe, teetering at about 2-inches in height, along with an almost 5-inch stiletto heel to round out the design. Though the style is currently sold out, you can find similar lifted designs from the brand for $425 at StuartWeitzman.com.

When she isn’t in bold on-stage looks, it is one special Nike sneaker that has captured the young singer’s heart. The brand’s Air Force 1 ’07 sneaker first hit shelves in the 1980s and has since become a cultural icon and must-have footwear style for Gen-Z; from “Stranger Things” actress Millie Bobby Brown to TikTok star Addison Rae, these affordable and easy-going sneakers can be found in a variety of street-style inspired looks from the younger generation.
