Jennifer Lopez, Riley Keough and Sofia Carson were among the stars who brought high-wattage style to the 2022 MTV Movie & TV Awards, which took place Sunday night at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica. The night was hosted by Vanessa Hudgens, who wore a parade of looks including a stunning blue dress from Vera Wang Haute on the red carpet.
Spider-Man: No Way Home took home the golden popcorn trophy for best movie, while the event’s 26 gender-neutral categories included House of Gucci’s Lady Gaga, Spider-Man: No Way Home’s Tom Holland (the winner) and Dune’s Timothée Chalamet up against each other for best performance in a movie. Scarlett Johansson won for best hero for Black Widow. Among the television categories, Euphoria was the night’s winner for best show, with Zendaya accepting her trophy remotely for best performance in a show. Jennifer Lopez attended the event to accept the night’s Generation Award and was surprised to learn she also won the award for best song, from 2022’s Marry Me.

Here’s a look at some of the night’s most talked-about fashion moments.
Olivia Rodrigo in Jean Paul Gaultier
The winner for best music documentary for driving home 2 u wore a sleek Jean Paul Gaultier corset dress with Outhouse Jewellery’s Oh Celeste Nova spiked earrings.
Leave it to Lopez — who accepted the night’s Generation Award (and also won a trophy for best song, for “On My Way” from Marry Me) — to wear one of the most talked-about labels on current red carpets: Her leather vest with plunging neckline and long skirt were from Monot’s Fall/Winter 2022 collection. Lopez paired the look with jewelry by Candy Ice, a bag by Jimmy Choo and shoes from her collab with DSW.
On hand to introduce a clip from Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis, the King’s granddaughter wore a look that debuted in November on Hollywood Boulevard as part of Gucci’s Love Parade collection.
Sydney Sweeney in Miu Miu
Accepting golden-popcorn trophies for both best fight and best show for her work on Euphoria, Sweeney wore a cropped shirt and crystal-beaded miniskirt with buckles by Miu Miu, paired with jewelry by Candy Ice and Le Vian.
Vanessa Hudgens in Vera Wang Haute
As the night’s host, Hudgens wore a plethora of looks onstage from labels that included Versace and Valentino, but she kicked off the evening in a custom high-low dress in cobalt silk chiffon by Vera Wang Haute.
Sophia Di Martino in Any Old Iron
The British-born Loki star reached out to Andrew Clancey, designer for Nashville-based Any Old Iron, because she fell in love with the red suit with beaded jacket he had created for a previous collection; the choice also was motivated by the fact that the MTV Movie & TV Awards coincided with Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee weekend. “The jacket includes a tribute to the Queen’s crown, as well as some ornate pieces of mirror,” Clancey, who’s also a Brit, explains. “We shipped the suit over to Sophia while she was still in London, and luckily it fit her like a glove, we didn’t have to adjust it at all.”
The winner for most frightened performance for her role in Scream, Ortega paired a sculpted minidress by Valentino with diamond jewelry by Tiffany & Co.

The Descendants actress and singer loves a haute-couture moment, and that extended to Sunday night’s event, when Carson chose to wear a pleated gown with voluminous sleeves from Iris van Herpen’s Fall 2017 haute-couture collection, paired with tanzanite and diamond jewelry by Marli New York.
