Dua Lipa was not at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards.
The 2026 MTV VMAs took place on 27 September at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. Coverage focused on Taylor Swift’s record-breaking wins, Madonna’s opening performance and multiple awards, Lisa’s Best Pop win, and JoJo’s red-carpet return after a decade.
Around the same dates, Dua Lipa was photographed in London wearing a blue string top. That look was unrelated to the VMAs.

The only VMA-related post on this site from that weekend covers JoJo:
