Here Are This Year’s Best Dressed at the MTV VMAs

The 2022 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) kicked off at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey on August 28, 2022. The VMAs highlight the “best music videos of the past year and features unforgettable performances, tributes, and appearances from the biggest stars in the industry.” Aside from the incredible musical performances and awards, many come out making bold, risk-taking fashion statements. Here are this year’s best dressed:

1. Lizzo

Lizzo proves that she is 100% that b*tch with her stunning gown. The “Truth Hurts” hitmaker opted for a midnight-blue Jean Paul Gaultier piece. She elevates the look with slicked-back hair, dangly gold earrings, and a matching blue lip.

2. Sabrina Carpenter

The “Fast Times” singer stunned in a floral Moschino dress. Her floor-length black dress is adorned with rainbow flower sequins and features jaw-dropping cutouts lining her hips and sternum. She wore dark eye makeup and a black Jennifer Bohr headband to accessorize the look.

3. Lil Nas X

The “Call Me By Your Name” hitmaker outdid himself at this year’s VMAs. He teamed up with Harris Reed to wear a black feathered overskirt with a matching headpiece. The look is the same piece Iman wore to the 2021 Met Gala. Instead of wearing the matching jumpsuit as Iman did, Lil Nas X opted to go shirtless, proving to be a daring move.

4. Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift looked like a glowing mirrorball at the awards show. She stunned in a glittery Oscar de la Renta mini dress with matching silver heels. Swift went for a signature bold red lip to elevate her look.

5. Becky G

Becky G turned heads in her Zuhair Murad gown. Her dress is tarot-inspired and is adorned with various colorful crystal embellishments. The dress also features vertical cutouts. The singer’s makeup is equally beautiful, as she chose to wear a bold red lip and black eyeliner.

6. Conan Gray

The “Astronomy” singer looked ethereal making his VMA debut in his Harris Reed-designed fashion piece. Gray wore a white blazer jacket with sheer lace cutouts. He also wore black high-waisted trousers and completed the look with black lace gloves and a large black neckpiece from Dries Van Noten. He elevated the look with 8-inch white platform boots.
