Benson Boone lights up the charts – and the fashion blogs – all year long with his breakthrough hit, “Beautiful Things” and his unique taste. That's why it came as no surprise that the mustachioed crown prince from Washington, whose penchant for sleeveless denim vests and hook-and-eye shirts inspired powerful “What to Wear to Benson Boone” TikTok and Pinterest pages brought eyes to 2024 MTV VMAs on Wednesday (Sept. 11).
Sitting at a black grand piano for a soulful rendition of his breakthrough hit No. Fireworks & Rollerbladeswith passion—and fashion—reminiscent of Elton John's 1970s peak. When he got up to cross the stage, Boone revealed that he was wearing a shiny blue belted top, cut to the navel, enhancing both low-key and flamboyant his style.
Sporting matching Adidas shoes with blue glitter, Boone — who was nominated for four awards at this year's VMAs — climbed into a riser as his band rocked the song and did a perfect forward stomp without missing a beat to screams of delight from fans whose outstretched hands he slapped as he worked the stage.
Building to a rafter-swinging crescendo that had Sabrina Carpenter screaming out of her seat, Boone jumped on his piano and hit his falsetto with the stirring “Please stay/ I want you, I need you, oh God/ Don't you get / These beautiful things I have” chorus as sparks rained down around him. Not content with all that glitz and gold, Boone performed yet another perfect gymnastics beat from the piano and hit another high note while touting the perfect lyrical tagline, “I need… the VMAs!!!
