The MTV Video Music Awards have come and gone for another year, but social media users will continue to talk about the evening's performances and antics for weeks (or possibly even years) to come.
For the 2022 red carpet, artists from across a wide range of genres stepped out in designers like Moschino, Prada, Fendi, and Harris Reed, strutting their stuff before taking in the incredible show inside.
One of the most buzzworthy moments on this year's walk of fame came when 26-year-old rapper Yung Gravy showed up (and packed on the PDA with) Addison Rae's 42-year-old mother, though both Lil Nas X and Lizzo's larger than life outfits have also caused something of a stir.
