Lizzo trailed into the MTV VMAs 2022 red carpet in an eye-popping Jean Paul Gaultier navy blue gown, with dark lipstick and slicked-back hair.
Lil Nas X
Taking inspiration from supermodel Iman’s head-turning Met Gala 2021 look, Lil Nas X went for an all-black outfit. The Call Me by Your Name singer, who often blurs the line between gender-specific fashion, wore an enormous black feathery headpiece with a feathered ball gown skirt frame and statement eyeliner.
Maneskin
2021 Eurovision winners made VMA history as the first Italian group to earn nominations and win the award for the Best Alternative video for their song, I Wanna Be Your Slave. Lead singer Damiano David wore a sheer cape embellished with silver sequins and black pants, while drummer Ethan Torchio went for a sheer corset paired with a big buckled belt and smokey eyeliner. Bassist Victoria De Angelis had a throwback moment with her outfit which was similar to Lil Kim’s iconic 1999 VMAs look. Maneskin’s guitarist Thomas Raggi also went for a sheer look paired with a shiny black-and-white checkered suit and shades.
Anitta
Boys Don’t Cry singer Anitta sizzled the red carpet with her risque and bold look. The 29-year-old wore a red deconstructed Schiaparelli gown with six-inch heels and statement silver accessories to complete the look.
Saucy Santana
Material Girl singer Saucy Santana’s outfit for the 2022 MTV VMAs was an all-black lace catsuit with a leather corset belt, choker, leather boots, yellow reflectors paired with gold accessories and a leather police hat to top it off.
