Some people hide their candy and popcorn in movie theaters. Chloe Fineman wears her food on her sleeve. On Sunday, the hilarious “Saturday Night Live” star arrived at the 2022 MTV VMAs in a dress covered in bubblegum, lentils, rock candy, M&Ms and licorice — not a bad snack for a three-hour awards show. Designed by Instacart and fashion label ThreeASFOUR, Fineman’s floor-length dress featured a futuristic design made up of a puffy chrome fabric — possibly inspired by a stainless steel refrigerator — and embellished with edible decor.
“@instacart is helping me get snacks into the #vmas! Operation Cart Couture . . . let’s go!” she posted a behind-the-scenes video of herself getting ready on Instagram Stories. In true haute couture fashion, the otherworldly gown featured a thigh-high slit and a voluminous train encased in scale-like pouches that could easily double as extra food storage space. The comedian wore the dress under a cropped jacket with matching sleeves that draped over her shoulders in swirls of orange and silver like ice cream.
Fineman styled the look with a glittery handbag and strappy heeled sandals that highlighted her chrome pedicure. During the IGS clip, Fineman also shared a glimpse of her silver manicure, adorned with jewels dangling from carrot nails. Like Gemma Chan before her, Fineman’s award show look was the perfect vessel to dine in between the night’s incredible performances.
Other standout looks at the MTV VMAs included Taylor Swift’s chandelier mini dress, Chloë’s structured chrome ensemble, and Lizzo’s sparkly blue gown that made waves on the red carpet.
Take a closer look at Fineman’s food-filled outfit from all angles ahead.
