If there’s anyone that can make menswear interesting, it’s Lil Nas X.

Unlike other male celebrities walking the MTV VMAs 2022 red carpet, the singer didn’t come in a standard suit-and-tie (all shade to them!). Instead, Lil Nas shut down the black carpet in an all-black feathered ensemble. The “Industry Baby” singer wore a tiered overskirt and matching headpiece with thousands of feathers, courtesy of British-American designer Harris Reed.

“It is heavy,” he joked with pre-show host Nessa Diab of the look. Supermodel Iman, who wore a gold version Reed’s creation to the “In America”-themed Met Gala in 2021, told People the get-up wasn’t heavy at all….In the words of Oprah Winfrey.. so, what is the truth?
