The 2022 MTV Movie and TV Awards took place on Sunday 5 June at Barker Hanger in California.
Hosted by Vanessa Hudgens, this year’s biggest winners included Euphoria, Spider Man: No Way Home and Loki, which scooped a whopping eight awards in total.
As well as recognising the achievements of those within the entertainment industry, the annual event is also a major red carpet occasion that sees celebrities pulling out all the stops when it comes to their wardrobes.
From Olivia Rodrigo to Jennifer Lopez, we take a look at this year’s best dressed stars.
Olivia Rodrigo
The 19-year-old singer and songwriter wore a vintage black corseted dress by Jean Paul Gaultier for the annual award ceremony.
