The 2022 MTV VMAs were held on Sunday, August 28, and after Maneskin member Victoria De Angelis showed off her Lil Kim-inspired ensemble from the 1999 VMAs on the red carpet, it was Damiano David’s chance to make a scene during their electrifying performance of “Supermodel.”
David had no qualms with flaunting his bare chest while sporting chaps that showed off his posterior. While an unfazed David partied with a group of dressed dancers next to him, MTV repeatedly zoomed out on the group’s performance for viewers at home.
Despite the camera techniques, Maneskin’s hit energized the audience and maintained the feelings. After “Supermodel” peaked at No. 1, the rock group’s second No. 1 on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay list came in July.
Maneskin recorded their first Moon Person earlier that evening after winning best alternative video for “I Wanna Be Your Slave” earlier in the evening. The trio, who were the first Italian group to win a VMA, acknowledged their historic triumph in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
