## Nick Jonas

I both like this jacket and also would totally wear it myself.

## Future

I legitimately also want this blazer for myself, thank you very much.

## Jaden Smith

I cannot figure out what this technically even IS, and I am now convinced that Jaden has Resting Sinus Infection Face. Having said that, the VMAs are nothing if not a vehicle for me to feel elderly, and never did I feel older than when I thought, "Jaden Smith is growing into such a handsome young man!"

## Kingsley

Somewhere, Pharrell resoundingly approves.

## Lance Bass

I was surprised that this was the only piece of clothing that directly referenced the election. I had some money on someone wearing a bedazzled Hillary tee.

## Lance Bass

I did not bet on ANYONE wearing a tie made of...tiny suspenders chained together? I don't even know what is happening here, Lance.

## Robert Sepulveda Jr

Robert here is the bachelor on [the show everyone is colloquially referring to as "the gay *Bachelor*](https://www.papermag.com/finding-prince-charming-logo-gay-bachelor-1988108852.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)," which Lance is hosting, and which I clearly plan to watch. I LONG for wallpaper made from this material.

## Jay Pharoah

There were a lot of unusual and good blazers at this event. Stylists, well done.

## Diddy

I swear the announcer at the VMAs called Diddy "Puff Daddy" and I have quite sincerely spent the last twelve years of my life not being wholly sure what Sean wants me to call him right now.

## Flo Rida

I think Britney wore those pants back on '08.

## Fat Joe

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/08/GettyImages-597194774.jpg)

You guys, I also kind of want THIS jacket. It's so I'm Smoking Down At The Pool At The Hotel I Own In Miami, and I want it despite never having owned a hotel, *or* been a smoker.

## Desiigner

I hope Cassie and Desiigner ran into each other later at the bar and bonded deeply over the fact that they both ruled against shirts this week.

## Ansel Elgot

Go home, Edward Scissorhands, you're drunk.

## Chance

At least he's comfy?

## 2 Chainz

I always appreciate 2 Chainz's commitment to being well-accessorized.

## DNCE

This photo just makes it look like Joe Jonas got lost coming home from shopping for cute bomber jackets and ended up falling into a remake of *The Warriors*.

## Nick Cannon

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/08/GettyImages-597560992.jpg)

I am glad that I can live out the rest of my life knowing that Nick Cannon has a turban at home that he can wear any time he feels like it.

## Michael Phelps and Nicole Johnson

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/08/GettyImages-597562232.jpg)

Arguably one of my favorite bits from the VMAs was how delighted Phelps was when Jimmy Fallon came out dressed like Ryan Lochte.

## Kal Penn

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/08/GettyImages-597562522.jpg)

I feel like Kal Penn is like, "why did I agree to come to this again? Didn't I work for Obama? Am I supposed to be writing a policy paper right now?"

## Tristan Wilds

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/08/GettyImages-597564330.jpg)

TRISTAN WILDS! I have missed you.

## G-Eazy

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/08/GettyImages-597563816.jpg)

G-Eazy's given name is Gerald -- fun fact! I feel like he counts Axl Rose as style inspo. Truly, don't we all?

## Ricky Bell, Ronnie DeVoe, and Michael Bivins of Bell Biv DeVoe

I was always going to end this slideshow on a lovely striped sweater.

[VMA Fugs and Fabs: The Dudes of the VMAsSome of the dudes at the VMAs last night looked totally snazzy -- I'm trying to bring "snazzy" back -- and some of them took a swing and a miss.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/bf/b9/bfb99790-924d-4e41-a7e6-5e3c6e04fe57/content/images/static-gofugyourself-com/uploads/2016/08/gettyimages-597560832.jpg)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/vma-fugs-and-fabs-the-dudes-of-the-vmas-08-2016/)
