Addison Rae was spotted emerging from her New York City hotel in her bathrobe ahead of the MTV Video Music Awards on Wednesday.
She released the music video for her single Diet Pepsi last month, but it was ineligible to be nominated as it came out after the June 20, 2024 cutoff date.
However the TikToker and pop act is still being included in the awards show, and has landed a job as a presenter during the evening’s festivities.
This year’s ceremony will be hosted by rapper Megan Thee Stallion and held at the UBS Arena in Long Island on September 11.
When Addison was seen leaving her hotel in Manhattan that afternoon, she was evidently partway through her red carpet glamour routine.
