Suki Waterhouse impresses at the 2024 MTV VMAs in a fur jacket and a little black dress with cut-outs

Waterhouse is one of tonight’s honorees, alongside other celebrities including Halle Bailey, Tinashe, Paris Hilton, Addison Rae and Big Sean. Tonight also marks her first appearance at the annual ceremony.

This Friday, Waterhouse will release a new double album, Memoirs of a Sparkle Muffin. In a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar“My last album was very much about this kind of sadistic relationship that I was trying to overcome for a long time,” she recalled. “And I think this album is like my head is above water… I’m in this new phase of my life that feels really exhilarating.”

Of the startling title, which is inspired by a colorful species of spider, Waterhouse explained: “It’s one of those things where I think: if you get it, you get it. I wanted something that leaned toward the ridiculous and felt a little bit weird and a little bit fabulous. … The world is kind of violent and you can be disemboweled and eaten at any moment, and we’re in this, kind of beautiful and also, kind of devastating dance together.”

As deputy editor at HarpersBAZAAR.com, Chelsey stays on top of celebrity news. She also writes about social movements and connects with activists fighting for workers’ rights, climate justice, and more. Offline, she’s probably spending too much time on TikTok, rewatching Emma (the 2020 version, of course), or buying another corset.
