MTV VMAs 2022: The Best Looks from the Red Carpet

Discover your favorite fashion celebrities on the MTV VMAs 2022 black carpet.

The MTV VMA 2022 took place on August 28 and the stars arrived early to show off their wildest styles. Held at the Prudential Center in Newark, and hosted by Nicki Minaj, LL Cool J and Jack Harlow, the big night of music and the MTV VMAs 2022 featured some stellar acts and fashion moments.

The key was not following the ‘less is more’ rule. Slits took center stage in the cuts, whether it was at the navel for Tate McRae and Ashley Graham or at the chest like Anitta. The fabrics have gone up in tone to fill the red carpet with light, with precious stones as in the case of Sabrina Carpenter. And the volumes have multiplied. Lizzo takes the palm with this dark blue cloud dress that has occupied the entire ‘photocall’. The black color has taken the prize for the most used. The men were also present, of course! Most of them bared their torsos and sported gender-fluid fashions, bringing a certain softness to the menswear ensembles, with Conan Gray, Harris Reed Ethan Torchio.

There’s no doubt that the MTV Video Music Awards had some iconic moments. From Nicki Minaj’s emotional speech to Taylor Swift’s surprise album announcement, some of our favorite celebrities were ready to entertain and grace the red carpet in the most incredible outfits.
