The Must-See Looks From the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards

And the crowd goes wild! Or not… Things looked a little different in 2020, but that year’s MTV Video Music Awards were still memorable in their own way. The socially distanced show featured lots of green screens, masks, and a (slightly creepy) fake audience. Our fav part? The fab looks the hottest stars served, despite the missing audience!

Key Takeaways

  • The 2020 VMAs were a socially distanced show with green screens, masks and a virtual audience.
  • Standout looks came from Ariana Grande, Chloe x Halle, Keke Palmer, Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus and more.
  • Lady Gaga won five awards that night, including the first-ever MTV Tricon Award.
  • Gaga also made headlines for changing her outfit (and matching mask) nine times.

MTV Video Music Awards: A Night to Remember

Some highlights from the evening include:

  1. Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande teamed up to perform “Rain on Me” as part of Gaga’s show-stopping medley.
  2. Gaga took home a total of five awards, which included the inaugural MTV Tricon Award.
  3. Gaga changed her outfit (with masks to match) NINE TIMES. Yes, you read that right!

We may be a little biased, but who can resist what an icon she is?
