The 2020 MTV Video Music Awards definitely looked different from previous years. Due to the ongoing pandemic, the award show wasn’t really live. Most of the performances, interviews and acceptance speeches were actually taped ahead of time.
Regardless, this year’s “ceremony” clearly belonged to Lady Gaga. Between performing and collecting all her awards, including the first-ever Tricon Award, the superstar was able to treat us to many looks and many masks. She kicked things off with a flashy Area number topped off by a clear headpiece by Conrad Muscarella. But it was her onstage ensembles that really stole the show. From Iris van Herpen to Christopher John Rogers to Valentino haute couture, Gaga went all out.
She wasn’t the only one. Miley Cyrus rocked a sheer Mugler dress, Joey King stood out in Versace and Sofia Carson sported a dramatic Giambattista Valli haute couture gown.
