Following his red carpet appearance at last night's VMAs, one Vogue writer makes the case for why LennyKravitz is still a menswear icon.
I love Lenny Kravitz. I love his attitude. I love his look. Ever since he made his debut within 1989, the singer has cultivated the same love-worn, pheromone-soaked and unbuttoned style. And it still looks fresh, too. Last night on the VMAs red carpet, a place crawling with teenage YouTubers and Insta-celebs, Kravitz stood out once again.
And there’s more: On his torso was a delicate golden halter top that appeared as if it was spun by gilded spiders from heaven. His footwear was the ultimate signifier of male confidence: pointy-toe white boots. His hands were laden with kingly Southwestern jewelry that included a massive turquoise ring and a glittering pinky ring so big that it was reminiscent of a miniature pavé disco ball. Around his neck hung an abstract fist-size gold medallion that appeared to be handmade.
Take his “I Belong To You” , specifically the moment when Kravitz biblically emerges from the sea like a ripped, saltwater-drenched Moses, sporting a soaking white shirt and a chain choker with a bone carving dangling from it. He’s also wearing sunglasses. It’s as ridiculous as it is blindingly hot.
Men’s looks in music have always been changing. There are boy bands who shoot to fame, and then the members assume other styles off-stage and as the time goes on. There are standard rock bands with unremarkable wardrobes. But just as Iggy Pop performs shirtless in a pair of jeans threatening to fall off, or Bono is never without his trademark sunglasses, Lenny’s style is iconic and seamless. He wears these looks off-stage and on-stage.
