Lil Nas X‘s birthday is upon us. and while he’s still young, turning only 23 years old on April 9, he’s already made quite the mark on the music industry.
From his hit songs to his controversies over the past few years, Lil Nas X is a household name. However, aside from his musical accomplishments, he’s also had many fashionable moments.
In honor of Montero’s birthday, let’s look back on some iconic get-ups he’s shown the world.
Starting with his most recent loks, Lil Nas X turned heads earlier this month at the Grammy Awards. He shone on the red carpet by donning a white, pearl-emblazoned jumpsuit and matching platforms.
A few months earlier, the “MONTERO (Call Me by Your Name)” rapper wore a hot pink outfit comprised of a crop top, harness, and metallic skirt. Considering he was in South Florida at the time, his loud look fit the vibe.
The artist channeled timeless, slightly retro vibes this past November with his feathery get-up at the LACMA Art+Film Gala.
Speaking of retro, Lil Nas X served in his off-shoulder suit—which was accompanied by hair that fell below his shoulders—at the 2021 MTV VMAs.
Lil Nas X stole the show on the red carpet at the BET Awards in another flamboyant suit that donned a floral print.
We also have to shout out his performance look from the BET Awards, which channeled vibes that drew inspiration from ancient civilizations.
At the 2021 MET Gala, Lil Nas X served a particularly complex look, which was three different outfits.
Months earlier, at the 2020 Billboard Music Awards, the rapper once again channeled a retro outfit, complete with a sultry snakeskin jacket.
However, back in early 2020, he changed it up for the Spotify Best New Artist 2020 Party. Lil Nas X’s outfit was more on the Hot Topic side.
At the 2019 American Music Awards, Lil Nas X donned a green, zebra-print outfit that more closely aligns with how he dresses today.
Taking it back to his early-fame days, Lil Nas X’s outfit choices were a bit different.
Nonetheless, he still knew how to show out, as evidenced at the 2019 MTV VMAs.
He also showed that he could beautifully merge his “Old Town Road” aesthetic with red carpet-ready looks.
Happy birthday, Lil Nas X!
