Lil Nas X to shake up a red carpet! The artist brought his A-game to the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday. The 23-year-old turned heads — and had to balance his — as he walked the black carpet in a stunning feathered ensemble by Harris Reed. The «Scoop» rapper paired his chiseled abs with sleek leather pants that were accented with black feathers. The real star of the show was Nas' head piece that extended inches around his head.
