The 2022 event was no different, and Wonderwall.com is ready to roundup the best and worst fashion of the night! First up? The one and only Lizzo, who certainly wore an impressive amount of fabric on the big night.

Next up, a look at the other surprising accessories she added…

Lizzo sported rows and rows of cuffs and hoops from Jennifer Fisher to top off her Jean Paul Gaultier gown, a surprising choice for such an elegant selection. Dark lipstick and a dramatic smokey eye completed this eye-catching ensemble.

Taylor Swift made a triumphant return to the VMAs black carpet in this show-stopping shimmery Oscar de la Renta minidress. The superstar’s frock included strategically placed shimmering embellishments roped from neck to thigh, which paired perfectly with her equally stunning Christian Louboutins that were also dripping in jewels. Let’s take a closer look at the intricacies of this dress…

Taylor Swift made a glamorous statement in this Oscar de la Renta design, wtih thousands of shimmering stones covering an otherwise sheet netting. And though the confection included a thick halter style detail, we loved the addition of just one delicate strap handing off both shoulders. Next up? A look at this one from the back…

_

The backside of Taylor Swift’s Oscar de la Renta selection was almost entirely backless, and also featured strategically placed stones and dangling details. Before we move on, we’ve got to take a look at her equally stunning jewels.

_

Taylor Swift certainly didn’t need to add more sparkle to her VMAs getup, but we still couldn’t help but fixate on her Lorraine Schwartz diamond drop earrings… which almost stole the show from her signature red lip.

_

The ladies of BLACKPINK coordinated in all black getups on VMA night, matching the carpet and pulling off a united look despite rocking all different designers! Lisa sported a jumpsuit by Celine, while Jisoo donned a pretty lace spaghetti strapped ankle-length frock from Christian Dior. Jennie’s look was coordinates by Chanel that included a cropped halter top and a low-waisted full skirt and Rosé rounded out the group in a high-neck, long sleeved minidress by Saint Laurent.

_

Obsessed! Sabrina Carpenter scored a fashion hit in this sweet floral Moschino gown. The floor-length selection included a halter-style detail, cutouts down the bodice and at the hips, and was covered in all over multicolored flower designs in a fitted silhouette that made a splash on the black carpet.

_

Sabrina Carpenter topped off her darling Moschino gown with a thick black headband. This angle also gives you a better glimpse at those risky hip cutouts, and the embellishment details on the myriad of flowers.

_

Dove Cameron turned up in a multicolored gown we didn’t quite adore. The singer’s pick from Paco Rabanne was plucked straight from the runway and included a belted detail at the neckline before giving way to a dark floral print from the bodice to the floor. Let’s see this one up close…

_

Dove Cameron accessorized her Paco Rabanne gown with an equally severe thick choker-style necklace. We weren’t fans of the dramatic pick, or the messy braids the star rocked on the carpet.

_

Jack Harlow turned up in a designer we don’t see often on the black carpet: Hermès! The “First Class” rapper lived up to his song title in this chocolate brown leather suit from the fashion house, which he rocked with a satin turtleneck in a similar shade. Black leather loafers and a few other accessories rounded out his look…

_

Jack Harlow added brown sunglasses and diamond stud earrings to complete his dark brown Hermes ensemble.

_

You might not believe it, but Khalid’s bizarre multicolored getup was actually Versace. Yep, the singer’s clashing prints and multiple layers — which included a dark black long-sleeved top with pink and orange print underneath a cheery orange and hot pink collarless button-down — was actually couture. If the top wasn’t bold enough, the pairing with purple pants and boots cemented this look as a miss.. though this is exactly how it was styled down the runway, too!

_

Another Versace look that shocked us? Avril Lavigne’s shapeless look from the fashion house! The rocker arrived in this boring pick, a long-sleeved corseted bodysuit paired with silk trousers. A subtle shimmer was included via the wallet chain and leather belt, but you have to see them closer to see the only interesting detail from her whole ensemble…

_

Yep, upon closer inspection there is a tiny Versace detail via Medusa heads on her wallet chain. But the most interesting part of her VMAs look was actually the orange streaks in her hair.

_

We fell hard for Becky G’s Zuhair Murad perfection on the black carpet — that silhouette! the tarot card elements embellished from head to toe! — but when she turned to the side we weren’t as wild about this pick…

_

This busy Zuhair Murad piece was already stunning and intricate enough, it didn’t need a the barely-there sides to detract from its intricate detailing. But before we move on from this polarizing Becky G pick, we have to give her some praise for her beauty look…

_

Absolutely flawless! Becky G’s eye-catching Zuhair Murad was almost eclipsed by her fabulous beauty look, from a smokey eye to rosy cheeks and a bold red look.

_

J Balvin looked sharp in this all-white Prada ensemble, from his chic oversized suit all the way down to his shoes! Despite the bright white look, he added a little spice and color it a surprising spot… his hairdo!

_

J Balvin sported tiger striped hair! Yep, the singer rocked some black stripes on his bright red buzzcut in a tiger stripe pattern.

_

Bebe Rexha joked about a potential wardrobe malfunction in her Vivienne Westwood ahead of the MTV VMAs, and there was definitely reason to worry! Her elegant black ballgown included an off-the-shoulder detail and dangerously low neckline, which was balanced out by a sky-high slit.

_

Lil Nas X always make a splash at award shows, and the VMAs were no different. The rapper turned up in this creation by Harris Reed that included, well, feathers, feathers and more feathers. Sequined pants held up a hoop skirt trimmed in the detail, and he also rocked a circular headpiece filling with them, as well. And while we didn’t particularly get this look, we did appreciate the intricacy it included. Let’s take a closer peek…

_

Lil Nas X hoop skirt wouldn’t have been complete with a near-matching headpiece comprised of halo after halo of black feathers. He added a little bit of shimmer with some layered diamond bracelets and stud earring to complete his wild look.

_

Get ready to see a lot of neon green! Kicking off the lime green trend was Latto, who arrived in this look from Ludo Bokuchava. Her minidress included a plunging neckline, long sleeves and cutouts down the bodice. The star continued to keep things easy in green with matching sandals in the same neon shade.

_

Ava Max continued the green trend in this strategically draped minidress from Coperni. It was almost identical to Latto’s, but included a bigger cutout from the neckline to waist. Instead of keeping everything green, the singer donned crystal embellished platform heels to complete her standout look.

_

The neon green minidresses were hits in our book, but Lauren Spencer Smith served up a matching look that we didn’t love. The star arrived in this very oversized pantsuit by Christian Wijnants. And though we didn’t appreciate the coordinates, we did love the way she topped it with that matching baseball hat and long side braid.

_

It wasn’t just the ladies in lime green on VMA night! Colton Haynes followed suit in this sharp Dior Men pantsuit, an oversized blazer and bellbottom-style trousers. He sported the suit sans undershirt and added black dress shoes to finish off his cheery pick.

_

Tayshia Adams turned up in a different shade of green on VMA night. The former “Bachelorette” star rocked this strapless Tarik Ediz ballgown, which included a sweetheart neckline, a thigh-high slit and a glamorous train that trailed behind her. Next up? A look at her jewels….

_

Tayshia Adams arrived at the award show in style, adding some diamonds to her gown from jewelry designers Nicole Rose and Nickho Ray jewelry. Her half-up, half-down do wisely allowed her jewels and gown to stay in the spotlight.

_

DJ Khaled dressed way down at the VMAs — opting for this lowkey gray pairing of a Prada blouse and trousers. Despite a darker pick, he jazzed things up with the color of the night: neon green Nikes.

_

We’ve got a lot of questions about comedian Chloe Fineman’s VMA look. Her custom threeASFOUR creation included a sleeveless top and an all-over shimmery silver fabric that gave us strong aluminum foil vibes. But the back of the frock was the oddest part…

_

Is it a snail? A down comforter? Chloe Fineman’s truly strange silver confection left us with more questions than answers, and included an orange beaded border.

_

Chloe Bailey rocked a silver frock we could get behind! The singer’s intricate gown brought a much needed dose of glamour to the black carpet. From the spaghetti straps to the structured bodice and thigh-high slit, the Zigman design marked one of the more memorable fashion moments of the night.

_

We love a surprising gown, and singer Anitta served this up in this sleek fitted red frock from Schiaparelli Couture. The unique dress included a unique ribbed bodice that included a detached detail meant to look like the shape of a human heart held in place by a single thin halter strap. The only aspect of the outfit we didn’t like? Her beauty look…

_

Anitta accessorized her gown with stunning Tiffany & Co. jewels like those statement ear clips in gold with diamonds in platinum, but even those beauties couldn’t distract us from the bizarre hairstyle. The star opted to have a few strands of hair run across her face in a move we hope doesn’t catch on!

_

Rachel Lindsay kept things safe and simple in this feather-trimmed LBD. The former “Bachelorette” star’s Randi Rahm Couture pick included spaghetti straps and fun feathers, and it paired perfectly with those strappy black sandals.

_

Sorry, Kane Brown! Despite rocking Prada on the black carpet, the designer duds still looked super casual thanks to the way the crossover artist styled them. His ill-fitting suit and an unbuttoned green shirt underneath gave off a very messy vibe, finished off by chunky combat boots.

_

That Girl Lay Lay made a statement in this Christian Dior coordinates. We loved the youthful vibe the cropped jacket, top and shorts brought to the black carpet, all of which included dashes of the fashion house’s signature logo print. She finished off her cool ensemble with even more Dior — even down to the socks and combat boots!

_

Though we still have two months to go until Halloween, Sofia Carson turned up in this costume-like Carolina Herrera design. Her gown started out stunning — check out that sweetheart neckline and those billowy sleeves! — but lost us with the addition of a cape detail that was actually attached to the frock. Get a better view next…

_

Though we didn’t love the cape addition on her Carolina Herrera gown, we have to give Sofia Carson credit for those stunning earrings from David Yurman.

_

Mellisa Gorga kept things shimmery in an illusory jumpsuit by Retrofête on VMA night. The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star’s spaghetti-strapped one-piece included subtle all-over shimmer and certainly made her husband’s ensemble look silly…

_

Did Melissa Gorga’s tell her husband Joe Gorga they were heading to an award show? It certainly didn’t seem like it, as Joe turned up in the most casual ensemble ever — a white tee, jeans and sneakers.

_

Yawn! Lili Reinhart’s black drapey Fendi number might have come straight off the runway, but the pick felt much too dreary for such a fun award show. The semi-sheer piece included a high-neck, plenty of lace, sequins and a cutout down the bodice that served as the only element that showed skin on the covered-up confection.

_

Despite the dismal dress, Lili Reinhart stepped things up in the jewelry department. Look at those gorgeous drop diamond earrings!

_

Snoop Dogg kept it classy in a shiny leather tracksuit. The legends olive green coordinates included shimmery long arms for an extra razzle dazzle at the MTV VMAs. The only part we didn’t love? The way he finished it off with those camouflage sneakers.

_

Sheer isn’t just for the ladies! Billy Eichner repped for the boys and showed they can get in on the trend with this black sheer button-down, short-sleeved top, black trousers and shiny dress shoes.

_

LL Cool J kept things super simple on the black carpet. Though he definitely couldn’t dressed up more for the occasion and finished off his leather jacket, t-shirt and leather pants look with a shoe other than a sneaker, we appreciate the way the star always stays true to his individual style.
