Now You Can Watch Maneskin’s Cheeky 2022 MTV VMAs Performance in a ‘Restored,’ Less-CensoredEdit

Bassist Victoria De Angelis was originally wearing a one-armed blouse with a pasty covering an exposed breast, but during the performance, her sleeve slipped down, uncovering her other breast. Ever the rock star, De Angelis kept playing, even going out into the crowd in her newly topless look.

Now, MTV has uploaded a new edit of the performance that shows much more of the Italian rockers than the broadcast did. The new video is touted as a “restored” performance and even “uncensored” in a press release, but De Angelis’ wardrobe malfunction is still blurred out in the clip. Thankfully, we can now see just how much fun the band was having with their dancers and the crowd in the more close-up edit. In Billboard’s ranking of all 13 VMAs performances, “Supermodel” landed at No. 4.

MTV shared the video on Instagram with the caption: “Blessed to share @maneskinofficial’s #VMAs performance in all their glory – the way we couldn’t on TV. … Thanks for being supermodels and superstars, my loves.”

Måneskin’s VMA night began when they won the very first prize during the preshow — best alternative video for “Be My Slave” — and became the first Italian artists to win a Moon Person too. Next up, the band’s North American tour begins on Halloween in Seattle and wraps up Dec. 16 in Las Vegas. Find dates here.
