As we sat in an Upper East Side apartment five hours ahead of the MTV VMAs, it was clear that 6lack was going to be turning heads on the red carpet with his girlfriend and fellow musician, Quiñ, on his arm. Sure, the two are wildly talented—6lack is nominated for Best R&B with Normani, for their song “Waves”—but as 6lack gets dressed in a Sankuanz crystal-embellished suit and Celine shoes, and Quiñ dazzles in an Utierre number, Cult of Coquette heels, and iced-out jewelry, there is no doubt they are going to be among the best-dressed this evening. Credit that impeccable sartorial tact to stylist Dianne Garcia and that final touch of black polish via the glam team to tie the entire look together. Can you say couple goals?

His getting-ready vibe:
“Honestly, it’s super chill. I’m not an over-the-top person, so it takes me little to no time to get ready. I usually wait until about 30 minutes before I have to leave, unless it’s an award show [laughs].”
