From a [Canadian tuxedo with Air Force 1 x Timberland boots](https://www.teenvogue.com/story/lil-nas-x-air-force-1-timberland-hybrid-shoes) to that over-the-top feathered red carpet 'fit, there's truly nothing he doesn't look great in. Lil Nas X styled the dress with a pair of black boots and an oversized black blazer over the top. The dress was perfectly tailored for Lil Nas, revealing hints of his chest, arms, and legs as he moved. The long-sleeved black dress nearly reached the floor and was completely covered in cut-outs and accented with chain detailing for an edgy vibe. The look features elements of '90s-esque punk and grunge with more modern details like the cut-outs and chain.

That was some look. Lil Nas X wore a stunning creation by designer Harris Reed to the New Jersey awards ceremony.

Lil Nas X wasn’t the only artist to show off some flesh last night. Lil Nas and Jack Harlow, who scored a huge hit last year with ‘Industry Baby’, both had the most nominations: seven each. [August 29, 2022] “This is heavy and it is Harris Reed,” Lil Nas X said to reporters. [August 28, 2022] The see-through look also showed off the rapper and singer’s muscular physique.
