Lil Nas X bares his chiseled chest in a show-stopping feathered hoop dress and matching headpiece at the MTV Video Music Awards in New Jersey
Lil Nas X made quite the impression while attending the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards at Prudential Center in New Jersey on Sunday.
The 23-year-old performer stood out from the event's other attendees as he wore an outfit that had been designed by Harris Reed for his most recent London Fashion Week presentation, which took place in February.
The hitmaker later switched out into a much more form-hugging outfit after he received the award for Best Collaboration for his work on the video for Industry Baby.

Lil Nas X initially intended for Nicki Minaj to appear on the song, but she did not respond to his offer.
The music video for the track was preceded by the release of a prelude video, which parodied the court case regarding his Satan Shoes, which were released last year.
The official video for Industry Baby was released on July 23 of last year and saw the rapper and his collaborator taking part in a prison escape.
Another video for the track, which was described as 'uncensored,' made its debut five days later.
