2022 MTV VMAs Menswear Red Carpet Roundup

Colton Haynes Dior Men 2022 MTV VMAs

Here is a roundup of the other gents who attended the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards held at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey on Sunday (August 28).

I was so here for Colton Haynes in this Dior men’s Cactus Jack Dior capsule collection neon green suit for the colour, and the sleek peak lapel oblique jacket which was accented with a gold cactus brooch. 

Then everything came to a screeching halt when I saw the flares.

And it’s not just because they are flares, more that they aren’t that flattering on him. 

Am I alone in feeling that these flares are making his legs appear shorter?

J Balvin in Louis Vuitton 2022 MTV VMAs

J Balvin opted for wide-legged rather than flared trousers when he​ ​wore this crisp white Louis Vuitton suit styled with a Tiffany Hardwear Ball necklace and Tiffany T True Wide ring.

The longer length of his trousers didn’t have a negative effect on this look.

Offset in Louis Vuitton 2022 MTV VMAs

Offset also wore Louis Vuitton, but when you compare the tailoring to J Balvin’s look from the same designer, you can see that there is a wide gap between baggy vs ill-fitted.

Khalid in Versace 2022 MTV VMAs

Khalid’s smile was almost as radiant as his Versace Fall 2022 Barocco silhouette silk shirt and signature La Greca print silk top combo.

Much like John Boyega’s recent Versace outing, the wide legged trousers ensured a smooth finish to his look along with Versace Oddisea sneakers.

Jack Harlow is the third person to wear this HermÚs Fall 2022 shirt following Chiwetel Ejiofor and Ismael Cruz Córdova, but on this occasion we have a chocolate version styled with a chocolate leather suit.

Leather suits are always a bold option, but he looks cool and composed.

Murda Beatz Fendi 2022 VMAs MTV

Canadian record producer, DJ, and songwriter Murda Beatz continued the fall feel on this red carpet wearing a burgundy Fendi Men’s Fall 2022 double-breasted suit, paired with a pair of Fendi O’Lock loafers and the new Fendi baguette soft trunk.

Those shades of burgundy have me enjoying every aspect of this look, even though we’ve seen this suit a few times before on the red carpet via Nicholas Hoult, Glass Animals and JD Pardo.

Danny Ramirez Saint Laurent 2022 MTV VMAs

Danny Ramirez was also oozing Fall vibes with his Saint Laurent Fall 2022 look which featured a lacquered-effect trench coat that has Yahya Abdul-Mateen II’s name written all over it.

Are we ready for velvet flares?  Danny Ramirez seems to think we are.

 Dylan O'Brien Bode 2022 MTV VMAs

There is something about Bode pieces that I really enjoy seeing on the red carpet.

In Dylan O’Brien case it comes down to the easy elegance, and the mix of colours, and the decision to rock the full Pre-Fall 2022 look.

David Yurman jewels provided the finishing touch.

Omar Apollo Valentino 2022 MTV VMAs

Omar Apollo wore a Valentino Fall 2022 Pink PP collection #BlackEdition look with the top half – including the gloves – being the most intriguing.
