Monica Gets Edgy in Plunging Leather Dress & Slick Boots at CMT Awards 2022
Monica brought grunge to the red carpet while arriving at the 2022 CMT Awards tonight in Nashville.
The “Boy Is Mine” singer posed in a black leather dress from Rick Owens’ Spring 2022 collection, which featured a strapless silhouette with a draped slim-fitting skirt. Giving the piece extra edge was a slick bodice featuring a vertical neckline and triangular front cutouts, layered under a broad-shouldered black bolero to create a bandeau top effect. Monica’s look was finished with oversized sunglasses for a sleek finish.

Monica stuck to her all-black palette with a matching pair of boots. The “Miss Thang” musician appeared to be wearing a thigh-high or over-the-knee style crafted from black suede, featuring sharp pointed toes. Though her heels weren’t visible, Monica’s footwear likely featured 3-4-inch heels in a stiletto or block silhouette. The shoes completed her look with a head-to-toe monochrome appearance.
