fashion history. Lady Gaga shocked viewers in 2010 when she wore a dress made out of actual raw meat. Katy Perry paid tribute to another iconic red carpet moment in 2014 when she wore matching denim ensembles with Riff Raff, inspired by outfits worn by Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake.

And actor Rose McGowan turned heads in 1994 by wearing a sheer, black beaded knee-length gown with a black thong on full display.

The MTV VMAs have become synonymous with crazy fashion. And while still glamorous, this year’s red carpet fashion seemed to be more scaled back than the bold looks we’ve come to know and love (even the red carpet was black).

The 2022 MTV VMAs was full of dark and moody tones, cut-out silhouettes, and halter necklines. Lizzo kicked things off. The “About Damn Time” singer was one of the first celebrities to arrive at the ceremony, wearing a blue-black gown from Jean Paul Gaultier’s spring 2022 couture collection, designed by Glenn Martens.
