The MTV Video Music Awards is one of our favourite award’s shows because its all about pushing the envelope and breaking the rules - be it in fashion, performances, and red carpet decorum.
It’s truly a place where anything goes and celebrities have free reign to express themselves without restriction. From Lady Gaga’s meat dress to Lil Kim’s purple pastie moment, there’s no shortage of iconic VMA’s outfits on which to reminisce.
This year, the stars brought their risque styles to the ceremony with the help of some of the biggest high fashion designers and stylists.
Here’s a run-down of the most head-turning looks at the VMA’s 2022:
