Dove Cameron’s signature punk-inspired style was on full display at the 2022 MTV VMAs. The singer and actress made a sharp entrance in a leather and floral ensemble from Paco Rabanne, designed by Julien Dossena. Looking equal parts sweet and edgy, she essentially styled a belt as a strapless top, the front of it boasting two small cutouts between the buckles. The rest of the dress consisted of an ankle-length skirt imprinted with a floral motif in red, pink and green. Cameron amped up the drama with a leather buckle choker, and added small silver hoops. To finish, her black velvet platform sandals, metallic manicure, braided hair, and sharp eyeliner rounded out the edgy theme.
The multi-hyphenate joined other well-dressed stars at the ceremony in New Jersey, including Lizzo, who stunned in a voluminous Jean Paul Gaultier; Sabrina Carpenter, who bared her midsection in a cutout bedazzled Moschino gown; Anitta, who wore a corseted gown by Schiaparelli.
Cameron has been nominated for “Best New Artist,” and her appearance follows the release of her music video for “Breakfast.” She later delivered a performance in an equally memorable look consisting of a metallic bra top (the pièce de resistance) layered under a white button-down shirt and oversize blazer with padded shoulders, and a maxi skirt. She accessorised with silver jewellery, matching her eyeliner to the theme, and styled her hair into a high ponytail.
Leave it to Cameron to pull off two completely different looks in one night. Scroll on for more angles of her strapless Paco Rabanne dress.
