Yungblud Sends the VMAs into Meltdown as His Vintage Iggy Pop Leather Pants Nearly Slip Off on the Red Carpet—Pansexual Punk Prince Stuns with Shirtless Tattoos, Smoky Eyes, and Slick Hair Before Blowing the Roof Off with a Fiery Ozzy Osbourne Tribute Alongside Rock Legends Steven Tyler and Joe Perry
The VMAs are known for jaw-dropping red carpet moments, but this year, Yungblud turned shock into art. The 28-year-old pansexual British rocker made his entrance in a pair of dangerously low-slung vintage leather pants once owned by Iggy Pop—and nothing else. No shirt, no jacket, just skin, ink, and pure punk attitude.
Fans lost it instantly. With his torso tattoos on full display, smoky eyeliner framing his intense gaze, and slicked-back hair falling into rebellious strands, Yungblud embodied every ounce of rock ‘n’ roll chaos. Cameras couldn’t get enough, and social media exploded with memes, gasps, and plenty of feral commentary about just how low those pants were riding.
But Yungblud proved he wasn’t only there for the spectacle. Later in the night, he delivered a show-stopping performance during the Ozzy Osbourne tribute, sharing the stage with none other than Steven Tyler and Joe Perry. Together, they tore through heavy metal classics like “Crazy Train” and “Changes,” igniting the crowd with a mix of nostalgia and raw energy. Yungblud’s gravelly yet emotional vocals honored Ozzy while still carrying his own unique edge, cementing his place among rock’s rising icons.
For those still catching up, Yungblud has built his career on boldness—openly embracing fluidity in both style and identity. He’s spoken often about wearing skirts since the age of six and refusing to be boxed in by labels. At the VMAs, that ethos wasn’t just spoken—it was lived.
From barely-there pants to powerhouse vocals, Yungblud gave the VMAs everything: shock, style, and soul. And if the crowd’s reaction was any sign, the world isn’t just watching—it’s obsessed.
