Lizzo Brings Back Madonna's Iconic Cone Bra Moment at the MTV VMAs

Lizzo energized the 2022 VMAs stage on Aug, 28, when she stepped up to accept the best video for good award from Bebe Rexha for her "About Damn Time" song. Dressed in her third look of the evening, a sheer corset dress from Jean Paul Gaultier's Fall/Winter 2022 Couture collection, the "2 Be Loved (Am I Ready)" singer thanked her fans for their devotion and support. She also took a moment to address recent comments from body-shaming trolls. "And now, to the b*tches that got something to say to me in the press," she said. "You know what, I'm not gonna say nothing. They be like, 'Lizzo, why don't you clap back?' 'Cause b*tch, I'm winning, hoe! Big b*tches winning, hoe! Best revenge is your paper!"

Taking inspiration from Madonna's iconic cone bra debut in 1990, Lizzo flawlessly pulled off the Glenn Martens creation, which featured a U-shaped middle leg slit and a plunging cone bra bustier. Her stylist, Brett Alan Nelson, paired the look with silver hoop earrings, a chain-link nose ring, and strappy black pumps.

During the Chiba, Japan stop on her "Blond Ambition" tour, Madonna made fashion history when she appeared onstage in a pink conical corset bra designed by Jean Paul Gaultier. The structured, BDSM-inspired garment was the "Material Girl" singer's response to media controversy and criticism over her "Like a Prayer" album. Tailored to embody both masculine and feminine fashion of the time, Madonna's cone bra was a celebration of sexuality without shame and a rebellion against traditional beauty standards placed on women.

Lizzo's decision to wear a cone bra dress by the same designer adds depth to an already meaningful occasion. She may not have articulated it, but her fashion statement was a subtle reminder that women of all shapes and sizes can, and should, feel free to express their sexuality and love their bodies.

Take a closer look at Lizzo's acceptance speech outfit from the MTV VMAs ahead.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...

Katy Perry Takes Inspiration From "Kill Bill" in Yellow Moto Jacket and Low-Rise Jeans

Katy Perry is making the press rounds ahead of the upcoming season of "American Idol." On March 28, the competition judge and singer was spotted leaving "Good Morning America" in casual, off-duty street style that turned heads. She wore distressed, low-rise R13 Denim jeans that sat at her hips, as well as a white baby tee under a cropped leather Balenciaga jacket . With its thick black stripes running down the sleeves, the yellow race jacket was reminiscent of Uma Thurman 's iconic tracksuit in "Kill Bill." Wearing an assortment of rings on each of her left fingers, Perry also carried a yellow coffee cup with her other hand to match her jacket. As for the rest of her cool outfit, which was curated by stylist Tatiana Waterford , pointed black heels peeked out from the floor-length denim and sporty cat-eye sunglasses shielded the singer's eyes. The edgy ensemble was one of three outfits she wore on Tuesday. Perry arrived on the morning-show set ...
