The closer you get to Lil Nas X’s lavender MTV VMAs look, the more detailed and beautiful it gets. The bodice mimics an off-the-shoulder suit, while the bottom features tailored pants and a billowing skirt trailing from the waistline.

The lengthy train on the back of this look just adds to the rapper’s royal status. Not to mention, the peek of his shoulder adds a sensual touch to this otherwise fairy-tale look.

Lil Nas X needs to drop his skin care routine ASAP, because he looks beyond radiant. Although the rapper likes to play around with makeup, for the 2021 VMAs, he went for a natural beauty look. The dropped-shoulder style gives fans even more space to take in his luminescence.

It’s hard to believe that this pantsuit and cape outfit wasn’t sewn onto Lil Nas X’s body; it fit him so perfectly. The belted, diagonal silhouette of the train shows how immaculately tailored this look is. Only the best for the king of music.
