Ariana Grande and Pete Davison finally made their red carpet debut as a couple tonight at the MTV Video Music Awards. The pair hit the magenta carpet showing plenty of PDA with the pop superstar shining in a silver metallic minidress.

The 25-year-old “Sweetener” starlet wore a strapless design with a mirrored finish and sparkly charcoal thigh-high boots featuring a pointed-toed silhouette. Meanwhile, he sported a white sweatshirt with black track pants and coordinating Off-White sneakers.

Jasmine Sanders, in a smoldering burgundy lip, also reached for Brian Atwood’s silver metallic Lorena stilettos for the occasion, teaming a pointed-toe, ankle-strap style with a shimmery golden minidress boasting puffy shoulders.

Elsewhere, Bebe Rexha showed off an eye-catching silver two-piece ensemble that gave us a glimpse of her toned abs. She paired silver platform sandals with a silver Christian Soriano high-neck dress featuring asymmetrical cutouts at the shoulder and midriff, and a long skirt with a thigh-high slit.
