Recap of MTV VMA Fashion — The Best And Worst From MTV’s Big Night

The best part of any award show is always the fashion. And the MTV VMA fashion is no different. This year the award show opted for a “black carpet” instead of a red one, and many of the artists arrived dressed to complete that. But who was on point with the fit and who could use work? Find out more below!

The Best and Worst from MTV VMA Fashion

The MTV VMAs always bring the fun fashion, since attendees tend to let loose and show their personalities more for the less formal event. There’s usually fun and experimental outfits instead of gowns and tuxedos. For instance, who can forget Gaga’s meat dress? Or Lil Kim’s purple jumpsuit, complete with seashell pastie? Or who can forget J.Lo’s all-white ensemble that showed off her impressive abs? And this year was no different, but there are always artists who think their look will work, and they just don’t pull it off. See if you agree with what we have to say below!

Taylor Swift was one artist who absolutely SLAYED the assignment. Dressed in an Oscar de la Renta, Gatsby-inspired dress, she was a sight. The silver fringe and sparkle walked the thin line perfectly behind leaving something for the imagination and showing off what she has! Paired with her blonde hair swept back and signature red lip, this look was everything.

Singer Conan Gray wore an outfit that missed the mark. He wore a Harris Reed look featuring a white lace-trimmed train and blaze, accompanied by black bellbottom pants and white platform heels. But the look was just too much, and it honestly wasn’t that appealing on him.

Someone whom we can always depend on to give a look no matter what the event is Ashley Graham. The model came out last night in a skin-tight black Houghton NYC dress that showed off glimpses of her midsection. And by the way, as a reminder, this woman had twin boys seven months ago! Graham definitely is all about self-esteem and confidence and last night she embodied all that!

Bob the Drag Queen was just all over the place last night with his attire! It was like a mix of Scottish tartan and MC Hammer pants. The outfit had no shape whatsoever. And it was way too heavy for New Jersey in August. His accessories were on point though. The thick gold chain and gold pins on the jacket would look fantastic on another fit. Let’s just hope this was something thrown together last minute. We can expect more from him next time, because usually he delivers.

Lil Nas X is a force to be reckoned with, plus we love an artist who doesn’t care about what other people think or say. And last night he showed up with an outfit that made everyone stop in their tracks. His Harris Reed look featured an outrageous feather headdress and matching skirt. But he made sure to leave his toned arms and stomach on full display. And this look is exactly what MTV VMA fashion is all about!

Chloe Fineman definitely won the experimental award for the night by wearing a custom-made thressASFOUR gown created by the designer and Instacart. Yes, you read that correctly — Instacart. And to top it off, the actress decided to hand out candy as well. Her quilted gown is part of Instacart’s “World Is Your Cart” campaign. The floor-length gown had a futuristic vibe, since it was made from holographic vinyl and polyurethane (PU) leather, silver nylon, metallic organza and duchess satin. And it even featured edible accessories. The look was meant to look like snack packaging, and although it did, this look was a little too out there. Even for the VMAs.
