Did YOU watch the 2020 VMAs?
For the first time ever, MTV had a fan-less and socially distanced ceremony hosted outdoors by KeKe Palmer. “The gag is”, the show was originally slated to be held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn but was moved outside amid the coronavirus pandemic. Still despite that Keke, the first Black woman to host the VMAs, tried to keep spirits high while rocking a series of stunning looks.
She first started with an Area cocktail dress and some WAP-styled hair, before changing into a feathery Ralph and Russo dress.
Another fashion standout was pretty and pretty problematic Doja Cat who took home the Push Best New Artist VMA while rocking a Versace mini-dress before hitting 8-counts on the VMAs stage.
DaBaby popped up alongside his masked homies/America’s Best Dance Crew winners Jabbawockeez. The group later joined DaBaby for a performance that ended with the Charlotte rapper performing on top of a police car.
Lady Gaga took home five VMAS including Best Collaboration and Song Of The Year for “Rain on Me” featuring Ariana Grande and rocked five different looks each with a different mask.

Also Parkwood pretties Chloe x Halle looked cyborg stunning in Whitney Houston’s The Bodyguard-style silver looks. The singing sisters who were up for Best R&B and Best Quarantine Performance VMAs and performed their track “Ungodly Hour”, the title track of their latest LP.
