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," 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
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
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
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
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
TRISTAN WILDS! I have missed you.
G-Eazy
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.
