Becky G opted for sequins and symbolism for the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards held on Sunday at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
The 25-year-old recording artist wore a Zuhair Murad fall 2022 couture dress pulled by her stylist Morgan Pinney. Becky G’s floor-length gown detailed various tarot card interpretations that included the sun, ace of swords, the lovers, the chariot and justice.

Each panel was elaborately illustrated in gemstone-colored sequins against a mostly light gold-silver sequin background. The front and back of the column gown were held together by thin horizontal straps of fabric with a rope design in dark gold and black sequins, creating the appearance of parallel rectangular cutouts. The vocalist’s dress had a straight neckline and tank-style straps. For footwear, she chose Jimmy Choo’s Max platform sandals.
The musician went with an understated blowout and soft waves, wearing her long raven mane parted in the middle. Becky G completed the look with long red stiletto nails that matched her red lipstick. Her makeup artist Deanna Paley gave the musician bronzy eye shadow topped with a long winged liner. Paley primarily used products from Becky G’s line Treslúce Beauty.
