Avril Lavigne arrives at 2022 MTV VMAs at Prudential Center on August 28, 2022, in Newark, New Jersey. Gotham/WireImage The 2022 MTV Video Music Awards were held on Sunday in Newark, New Jersey. While stars like Taylor Swift and Lizzo looked great on the red carpet, others missed the mark.
Avril Lavigne, Yung Gravy, and Tate McRae all wore looks that were more disappointing than memorable. Chris Olsen wore a colorful Paul Smith ensemble that was a bit outdated. Chris Olsen attends the 2022 MTV VMAs at Prudential Center on August 28.

So overall, his outfit felt like a missed opportunity to make a fashion-forward statement on the red carpet with something that’s more trendy today, like a sheer top or printed suit. Olsen’s bleach-blonde hair, however, looked striking and added a fun element to his look.
Brendon Urie arrived in an all-black look that was too understated for the “Viva Las Vengeance” singer. Brendon Urie attends the 2022 MTV VMAs at Prudential Center on August 28. Cindy Ord/WireImageThe “Panic! At the Disco” frontman usually showcases himself as a Vegas showman.
He dresses in sequin-covered stage outfits and captivates crowds with his soaring vocals. So his VMAs outfit — a black T-shirt and matching suit with barely-there pinstripes — was a bit of a letdown. DJ Khaled chose a gray Prada outfit for his red-carpet appearance, but it almost looked more like a work uniform.

Though his neon-green Nike sneakers were fun, the musician’s muted outfit was too plain overall for an awards ceremony as animated as the VMAs.
Yung Gravy and Sheri Nicole Easterling made their red-carpet debut in matching lilac outfits that seemed like a better fit for a junior prom.

Arturo Holmes/FilmMagicGravy paired his dark suit with a paisley-print shirt, the latter of which was made from a lilac fabric that matched the color of Easterling’s long-sleeved minidress.
The two outfits were arguably fine on their own. But when side by side, it was tough to take the 26-year-old rapper and Addison Rae’s mom seriously. Joe Gorga and Melissa Gorga chose contrasting outfits that were a bit too casual.

Her husband, on the other hand, wore a white Dior shirt, matching designer sneakers, and jeans.
The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” stars looked good, but their outfits weren’t the most memorable on the red carpet. Singer Ava Max opted for a lime-green set that would’ve been perfect for the club. Ava Max attends the 2022 MTV VMAs at Prudential Center on August 28.
Cindy Ord/WireImageThe bright hue of Max’s ensemble — designed by Coperni — made her stand out, but the lycra-esque material wasn’t elevated enough for a red-carpet event. And the set just wasn’t very new or surprising — you’d see hundreds of girls in a version of this outfit in Tulum or Las Vegas. “Saturday Night Live” star Chloe Fineman’s holographic vinyl dress felt like a gimmick.

It was a fun concept, but Fineman’s actual dress just reminded us of a comforter you’d buy for a kid who loves space.
Tate McRae’s suede crop top and matching skirt looked more like a costume. Tate McRae attends the 2022 MTV VMAs at Prudential Center on August 28. Arturo Holmes/FilmMagicThe teal outfit, which was designed by Niné, reminded us of Jane from “Tarzan.
” Since McRae was serving as MTV’s red-carpet celebrity correspondent for the night, we would’ve loved to see her wear something that had a bit more drama. “Catfish” star Nev Schulman and his wife Laura Perlongo looked out of sync on the red carpet.

Arturo Holmes/FilmMagicSchulman looked ready for a vacation in Mykonos with his white jeans and tank, which he paired with an unbuttoned shirt covered in green peace signs. Perlongo, on the other hand, went with a head-to-toe outfit made of PVC plastic. While the transparent panels on her jeans were cool, the effect would’ve been better executed in a different material.
Plus, the silver shoes with the turquoise bralette just clashed. Overall, it looked like Schulman and Perlongo were going to two completely different parties. Avril Lavigne was more snooze than punk with this all-black outfit.

She appeared to put minimal effort into her ensemble, opting for a long black-sleeved shirt and black pants you could probably find at any PacSun or Hot Topic.
We don’t mind a monochrome look, but we wish Lavigne had found some way to surprise us. Punk and emo have been major players in the fashion industry for decades — but Lavigne just didn’t bring it on Sunday. Read the original article on Insider.
