5) Bailey
The “Do It” singer brought the corset trend to the VMAs red carpet in a futuristic gown by Zigman. The design highlighted the musician’s hourglass shape and was finalized with a sultry high slit.
4) Graham
The 34-year old supermodel, who welcomed twins in January with Justin Ervin, looked stunning in a Houghton cutout dress. The sexy look hugged the A New Model author’s curves in all the right places.
3) Swift
Fans were stunned when the 32-year-old hitmaker walked on the red carpet in a high neck, silver mini dress by Oscar de la Renta paired with matching glittery sandals. The jeweled frock was a trendy selection as it perfectly fell under the “naked” dress aesthetic due to the look’s sheer finish.
2) Anitta
Anitta was a shining example of realness in Schiaparelli. The “Envolver” singer, 29, wowed in the corset design that featured an asymmetrical construction that covered the left side of her upper body with an intricate net. The musician looked racy but elegant with her soft glam, pulled back hairdo and soft glam.
1) Lizzo
Coming it at #1 on our best-dressed list is the “About Damn Time” singer, who stunned in a balloon-like gown from Jean Paul Gaultier Couture spring/summer 2022. The “Truth Hurts” crooner, 34, complemented the eye-catching look, which featured a strapless construction, with sheer gloves and dangling earrings.
