Celebrities Who Wore Black to the 2022 MTV VMAs
Lizzo, Lil Nas X, and 20 Other Stars Who Wore Black to the VMAs
At the 2022 MTV VMAs on Aug. 28, a notable number of celebrities matched their looks to the black carpet. Lizzo in black Jean Paul Gaultier. Lil Nas X in black Harris Reed. Ashley Graham in black Houghton by Katharine Polk. The colour had a dominating presence as stars embraced a dark palette in a series of edgy, fashion-forward, and elegant ensembles. Among the best dressed guests, Lizzo arguably took first place. The "About Damn Time" singer floated down the carpet in a voluminous silk taffeta masterpiece designed by Glenn Martens for Jean Paul Gaultier. The 34-year-old star recommitted to the theme later in the evening, taking the stage to accept the video for good award in another black ensemble by the designer. She donned a corset gown with sheer detailing along the front, sleeves, and skirt.
Meanwhile, Lil Nas X also received the black memo, making a boundary-pushing appearance in an intricate Harris Reed creation. He forewent a shirt in favour of a high-waist feather-trimmed tiered skirt and a heavy matching headpiece. Later, he took the stage in a black maxi dress with eye-popping, metal-trimmed cutouts throughout the bodice. Other stars on the same page included Graham, who proudly showed off her stretch marks in a black halter-neck cutout midi dress; Sofia Carson, who slipped into a stately Carolina Herrera gown with a voluminous cape; Lili Reinhart, who made an entrance in a lacy Fendi dress with sheer sleeves; and Mae Muller, who embraced a Matrix-inspired aesthetic in a strapless black Rick Owens leather dress.
Ahead, take a closer look at their outfits, and check out all the other stars who dressed in black.
