2021, Normani

Who needs pants anyway? Certainly not Normani, as she confidently proved at the 2021 VMAs. The singer decided to make pants an entirely optional accessory for the awards show, opting instead for a striking ensemble that consisted of nothing more than a cropped long-sleeve jacket and, well, not much else.

Now, take a moment to admire those colossal oversized cuffs – cufflinks for those would surely be a mystery to find! But beyond the playful exaggeration of her top, Normani’s lower half was a minimalist masterpiece, with just a few swaths of fabric extending gracefully below her stomach.
