Lizzo Just Wore A Cone Bra Dress To The 2022 MTV VMAs

Lizzo is always guaranteed to serve a look on a red carpet — and the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards were no different.

A star of the night, Lizzo rocked not one, not two, but three different outfits: one for the red carpet, one for her opening performance, and one later to accept her Video Music Award. First, she donned a billowing Jean Paul Gaultier one-shoulder gown, followed by a pastel, latex Barbiecore number with custom Steve Madden combat boots, and then a show-stopping high-low dress with the coolest of architectural details.

Her final outfit was one for the history books. Lizzo accepted her Moon Person for Best Video For Good for her song “About Damn Time” wearing a high-fashion dress complete with a pointed cone bra. The fitted gown featured sheer panels, shoulder pads, quilting details, a U-shaped skirt, thick piping along the sleeves, and, of course, said cone bra.

The dramatic cone detailing is one of Jean Paul Gaultier’s trademarks, and the designer created both of Lizzo’s all-black looks. The star complemented the corset-style design with a faux nose piercing that connected to her diamond earrings via a glistening silver chain (a theme of the night, as she also rocked a faux lip ring on the black carpet). The singer definitely channeled a goth aesthetic tonight — and I’m all for it.
