The 2021 MTV Video Music Awards were eventful, to say the least, bringing Olivia Rodrigo’s VMAs debut, a steamy Lil Nas X performance and a solid amount of wins for the both of them – not to mention celebrity beef happening in real time on the red carpet. As for the 2022 VMAs, hopefully the most drama on the red carpet comes from the looks. Please give us something that can’t be found on SHEIN. Below, nominated musicians and performers like Lil Nas X, Lizzo, and Blackpink stomp the red carpet at the Prudential Center, along with the show’s anchors/hosts Nicki Minaj, Jack Harlow, and LL Cool J. Now, who’s got the best look!
