Lil Nas X Overcame His Newfound Fear of Pants For This Iridescent Suit With an '80s Fit

Published on May 28, 2021 at 8:28 PM

Despite claiming he will "never trust pants again" following a mid-performance wardrobe malfunction on Saturday Night Live, Lil Nas X pushed through his mistrust to deliver yet another incredible red carpet look — and, well, it was certainly worth it.

At the 2021 iHeartRadio Music Awards in Los Angeles on Thursday, the rapper wore an iridescent suit with wide lapels and an oversize silhouette reminiscent of '80s tailoring. Foregoing a shirt, the famously daring dresser paired the outfit with silver earrings, white platform heels, and a teeny Telfar bag, also in white.
