Kacey Musgraves in Valentino

I love how theatrical she is. She looks like she's at Royal Ascot and had to agree to wash dishes to make up for the sheer number of tablecloths on which she vomited. But weirdly, that's a compliment.

We have seen a version of this on Lady Gaga already -- a different outfit from the same runway show -- and I totally understand why they went with the nude-look shoe. The rest is SO busy. But in practice... doesn't it also make it seem super top-heavy and feel a bit like a thunk? I don't know that there IS a perfect solution. Maybe this is the best one.

This is the part where wearing a sea anemone on your head starts to look like a challenging decision. it's heavy, it's hard to balance, and sometimes, you just eat the hat.

But then you get the photo you want and all the feathers in your mouth were worth it.

Camila Cabello in Alexis Mabille

I only accept it if those are snack bags. But amusingly, it feels like she realized this pose makes her arms disappear and so she struggled to figure out what else to do with them.

Camilla Cabello in Alexis Mabille

"How about here? SHIT, wait, that's the universal red carpet code for My Baby Joy. That's not gonna work."

"I'll just give myself carpal tunnel instead."

Olivia Rodrigo in Versace

I find myself wishing either the whole THING were wrapped in tulle, or... maybe an ombre thing? This just looks like she got caught in someone's backyard fashion trap and managed to free herself. I also saw a LOT of photos where the top looked crooked...

... but I think in the end it just was REALLY affected by however she was standing.

Usually the tulle is shooting out of the wearer's bum, so this is at least a small mercy.

Lil Nas X in Versace

I saw Little Richard with a dash of Prince; others saw Rick James. I suspect all of them were in the mix.

Iann Dior

That is a good-looking suit. LOTS of people were feeling The Purple One, I guess.

Avril Lavigne in Area

Well that is a take on a blazer that I did not expect: a FRONTLESS one.

with Mod Sun

She is dating Bella Thorne's ex, Mod Sun, and between this and the dude from Nickelback, I feel like Avril's taste in guys might need a little work.

Lance Bass, Nick Lachey, AJ McLean

I assume each one was there to represent his boy band -- NSYNC, 98 Degrees, Backstreet Boys -- but I also like the idea that they'll ALSO form a supergroup that ends up mixing together their hits.

Saint Jhn

I think he capitalizes some of his name differently, but I am too old to keep up with capitalization trends and I always assume they'll get sick of having to correct people eventually. I am kind of into his take on tweedy Chanel and pearls, more so than I usually am when women do it.

G-Eazy

I hope the Internet leapt on using this like a green-screen.

Shay Mitchell

Welcome back, Shay! That's pretty good.

Kim Petras in Richard Quinn

Whereas this is terrifying. I've decided the dress, which reminds me so much of D&G imagery, is supposed to be him poking fun at them. Because surely someone should be.

Conor McGregor and Dee Devlin

Conor has always seemed like a tool, to put it very politely, but I like his jacket.

Nick Cannon

I don't even KNOW what madness this is. I'm not going to Google it, Nick. I'm just not.

Ashanti! BE CAREFUL. This man is very fertile.

Kacey Musgraves's Hat is a True VMAs Legend

Plus more things big and bright from the big, bright night.
