At the Disco” typically presents himself as a performer with a flamboyant style reminiscent of Las Vegas entertainers. He adorns himself in stage costumes adorned with sequins and captivates audiences with his powerful singing.His attire for the VMAs, consisting of a black T-shirt and a suit adorned with subtle pinstripes, was somewhat disappointing.DJ Khaled opted for a grey Prada ensemble for his red-carpet debut, which bore a striking resemblance to a professional uniform.DJ Khaled 2022 MTV VMAsDJ Khaled is present at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards held at Prudential Centre on August 28th.

Arturo Holmes/FilmMagic Gravy complemented his dark suit with a paisley-print shirt, which was crafted from a lilac fabric that perfectly matched the colour of Easterling’s long-sleeved minidress. The two ensembles were arguably satisfactory individually. However, when placed next to one other, it was challenging to regard the 26-year-old rapper and Addison Rae’s mother with seriousness.Joe Gorga and Melissa Gorga opted for divergent ensembles that were excessively informal.Joe Gorga and Melissa Gorga 2022 MTV VMAsJoe Gorga and Melissa Gorga were present at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards held at Prudential Centre on August 28.

In contrast, her spouse donned a white Dior shirt, complemented by brand trainers and denim trousers.The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” stars appeared aesthetically pleasing, yet, their attire did not leave a lasting impression on the red carpet.Vocalist Ava Max chose a lime-green ensemble that would have been ideal for a nightclub.Ava Max 2022 MTV VMAsAva Max is present at the 2022 MTV VMAs held at Prudential Centre on August 28th.

The photograph was taken by Arturo Holmes for FilmMagic.The teal ensemble, crafted by Niné, evoked reminiscences of Jane from “Tarzan.” Given McRae’s role as MTV’s red-carpet celebrity correspondent, it would have been preferable for her to don attire that exuded a greater sense of theatricality. Nev Schulman, the star of the television show “Catfish,” and his wife Laura Perlongo appeared to be out of harmony on the red carpet.Nev Schulman and Laura Perlongo 2022 MTV VMAsNev Schulman and Laura Perlongo are present at the 2022 MTV VMAs, held at the Prudential Centre on August 28. The photograph was taken by Arturo Holmes for FilmMagic.Schulman appeared prepared for a vacation in Mykonos, with white pants and a tank top, complemented by an unfastened shirt adorned with green peace signs. Conversely, Perlongo opted for a complete ensemble crafted entirely from PVC plastic. Although the translucent panels on her pants were fashionable, the desired outcome might have been more successfully achieved using an alternative fabric. Furthermore, the combination of the silver shoes and the turquoise bralette created a discordant visual effect. On the whole, it appeared that Schulman and Perlongo were attending two quite distinct gatherings.Avril Lavigne’s all-black attire was lacking the edginess typically associated with punk, resulting in a rather uninteresting appearance.Avril Lavigne 2022 MTV VMAsAvril Lavigne attends the MTV VMAs at Prudential Centre on August 28. The image is credited to Gotham/WireImage.Lavigne certainly kept things simple on the VMAs red carpet. She seemed to have exerted little effort in her outfit choice, selecting a long-sleeved black blouse and black trousers that could easily be found at popular retail stores like PacSun or Hot Topic. While we appreciate a monochrome aesthetic, we were hoping that Lavigne would have managed to astonish us in some manner. Punk and emo have been prominent influencers in the fashion business for many years, however, Lavigne’s performance on Sunday fell short of expectations.
