Not only did Lizzo deliver on the red carpet, sis gave a banging performance and won the Video for Good award where she took the opportunity to speak directly to her haters.
According to People Lizzo 34, served a head-turning red carpet look, hot “off the runway” as she arrived Sunday at the 2022 MTV VMAs in Newark, New Jersey.
The superstar rocked a voluminous, black Jean Paul Gaultier Couture spring/summer 2022 gown, accessorized with matching black lipstick, a gold lip ring, layers of gold hoop earrings and a slicked-back hairstyle.
And of course, she made a grand entrance as she shared the dress in motion on her Instagram.

According to BET in her acceptance speech, the artist thanked everyone who voted for her and said she didn’t know exactly what a video for good means. But she was sure that it has something to do with “making change in the country.” She urged everyone to cast a vote this year in the midterm elections “to change some of these laws that are oppressive.”
She quickly shifted gears to answer those who had something negative to say about her in the press.
After a dramatic pause, Lizzo said, “I’m not going to say anything,” adding that her fans have wanted her to “clap back” at her media critics.
Lizzo then lifted her trophy and explained that she doesn’t need to respond “because I’m winning.”
