Why Fans Think Chlöe Wore A Spoon To The VMAs
It sparked a ton of questions.
Following the release of her debut single “Have Mercy,” fans waited in anticipation for Chlöe to arrive at the 2021 Video Music Awards. And her outfit certainly sparked a conversation and a myriad of questions to follow.
Chlöe walked the red carpet alongside sister and former duet partner Halle Bailey. As the wind blew on the red carpet, the eldest sister posed in a flowy metallic dress paired with matching black and silver platforms. It was tin foil hat meets red carpet elegance, a walking Moon person trophy in action.
What fans had real questions about, however, was what hung around Chlöe’s neck: some sort of antique spoon. Yes, seriously. Needless to say, the ensemble raised a few eyebrows and sparked plenty of tweets. Did it have a deeper meaning? Was it a family heirloom? Was it simply for a reaction?
It’s tough to say. Chlöe’s dress is from Marni’s Fall/Winter 2021 collection — and yes, the spoon was intentional as a “a pandemic-era reminder of the simple pleasure of breaking bread with friends,” according to Glamour. And, TBH, that’s a message the world can relate to.
Many thought the spoon was representative of the way Chlöe was about to eat the stage with her debut VMA performance — and honestly, seeing as how great that went, that theory tracks. She ate ’em up, just as expected.
