How Gabby Windey Got Her Blowout to Last All Night at the 2025 MTV VMAs

Gabby Windey delivered hair goals on arrival when she hit the red carpet at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards.

Windey, 34, stunned in a barely-there naked dress by Ema Savahl Design at the star-studded soiree, which took place at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, on Sunday, September 7. She teamed the semi-sheer cutout look with mesmerizing glam, including a bouncy blowout courtesy of Frankie Calire.

To ensure that her hairdo lasted all night, Calire told Us Weekly that he used Goddess Maintenance Co.’s BioTech Blowout Leave-In Restorative Mask.

“To achieve Gabby’s bombshell blowout, I prepped her hair with Goddess Maintenance Co.’s BioTech Blowout Leave-In Restorative Mask,” he explained. “A strengthening, heat-protective treatment that gave her strands fullness, shine, and long-lasting body without compromising hair health.”

The leave-in mask doesn’t only protect against heat, but it also locks in shape for over eight hours, making certain that Windey’s blowout carried her from the red carpet to afterparties.

The rest of Windey’s look included smokey eyeshadow, mascara, blushed cheeks and lined, glossy lips. She made her outfit even sexier with her G-string straps peeking out of her dress.

Following the show, Windey, who hosted the red carpet, took to Instagram to show off her sizzling fashion moment. Her celebrity friends and fans went wild for her look in the comments section.

“OBSESSED🔥🔥🔥,” Chrishell Stause wrote, while her Bachelorette cohost Rachel Recchia added, “IM DEAD.” Nikki Garcia also commented, “You look amazing!!! 🔥🔥🔥.”

Windey has no shortage of sultry ensembles. Last month, she left little to the imagination while crawling on towels in a mismatched bikini. She teamed a navy blue triangle halter top with gold bottoms, finished with red straps complete with red bows tied on her hips. She dramatically gazed into the camera while accessorizing with black sunglasses.
