Yungblud has delighted fans with his scantily clad look while appearing at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards.

The 28-year-old rock star, whose real name is Dominic Richard Harrison, was decked out in his usual black themed gothic look as he attended the award show.

However, the artist also decided to strip his look down and ditched wearing any kind of top or jacket.

Wearing just very low-rise leather trousers that showed off his body and pubic hair, the singer flaunted his figure and showed off his completely nude top half, posing seductively on the red carpet.

With his arms akimbo, he planted his leather boots on the carpet and looked up at the photographers.

The look was reminiscent of Bianca Censori’s daring Grammys look, which saw her wear a completely transparent dress and dare to bare all.

Yungblud was at the awards ceremony in order to honour his late friend and mentor, Ozzy Osbourne, who died in July aged 76.

The singer joined Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, together with Extreme guitarist Nuno Bettencourt, to perform hits including Crazy Train, Changes and Mama, I’m Coming Home.

While perfroming on stage, Yungblud opted for a fur-lined long jacket to wear over his bare torso.

Taking to social media before the VMAs, the 11 Minutes singer shared a black and white photo of himself with Osbourne.

‘They’ve ‘asked me to pay tribute to you at the @vmas on Sunday night. I’ll try my best to do you proud Oz. Tune in from up there. I love you forever,’ he said.
