The celebrities made an appearance on the MTV VMAs red carpet taking on the timely trends including cutouts galore and Barbiecore. From Nicki Minaj’s Barbie-queen look to Sabrina Carpenter to Kamie Crawford, celebrities were not afraid to experiment with their dresses and looks. 

Apart from pink, black was the colour of the night. Lili Reinhart’s black lace to Lil Nax’s tiered overskirt and matching feathered headpiece, each vied for a spot in the VMAs most memorable look. 

Here is the list of best-dressed stars at the 2022 MTV VMAs. 

1. Taylor Swift 

Taylor Swift wore a glittering jewelled Oscar de la Renta mini dress. The look complimented Swift’s swept-aside bangs. Her dress was paired with sparkling Christian Louboutin heels and Lorraine Schwartz jewels. The dark lip shade and sparkly winged eyes completed her personality even more.

2. Lizzo 

Lizzo donned a voluminous midnight-blue Jean Paul Gaultier gown. A matching blue lip shade, wet hair and stacks of gold hoops elevated her look to one of the best ones of the evening. Some Twitter users maligned the look as ‘huge’. 

3. Sabrina Carpenter

The sensual cut-outs on the florals made her look bold. Smoky makeup and a blowout accented with a Jennifer Behr headband saved Sabrina Carpenter’s Moschino look from being labelled as immature. The look married the elegance of black with the gentleness of flowers. 

4. Lil Nas X 

The VMAs black carpet matched Lil Nas X’s Reed headdress. The headdress coordinated with his feathered skirt. He opted to go entirely shirtless.

5. Blackpink

Blackpink members matched while keeping their individual styles distinct. Each girl was in a signature Celine, Dior, Chanel, or Saint Laurent. Chanel ambassador Jennie Kim of Blackpink looked unbelievable in her exquisite tailored two-piece set. Her black halter crop top was studded with silver stars and a pleated v-line maxi skirt.
