[music](https://parade.com/1239349/michelleparkerton/music-quotes/) buffs, they absolutely were—the 2022 VMAs was the first time many heard of Måneskin. This isn't because they're incapable of performing, but rather because TV networks often won't spend the money or extend the manpower necessary for things like sound checks, rehearsals, or techs—and don't want to deal with the headache or backlash if anything goes wrong (think a messed up amp, broken guitar string, etc.) on live TV. Måneskin won first place in Eurovision with a total of 524 points. Måneskin shot to global fame thanks to winning the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest, as well as their second-place finish in Italian X Factor in 2017—just two years after they formed.

Måneskin's bassist Victoria De Angelis is half Danish, and her heritage and language inspired the band's lovely lunar moniker.

People tuning into the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards were confused when the camera abruptly cut to a shot of the crowd during Måneskin's performance.

Of course, award shows are no stranger to the occasional nip-slip. However, some of the band's fans felt that doing so was a disservice to their performance. With all the movement, the other shoulder of De Angelis' dress slipped down, causing her breast to be exposed.

Afterward, fans saw David and his ass-less pants. This made the fabric that had been covering her right shoulder fall off and collect at her elbow, exposing her. De Angelis is regularly playing her bass while donning loose clothing (shirts or jackets) over bare skin and nipple guards—she wore as much during the band’s 2022 Lollapalooza set, recently.

Bassist Victoria De Angelis' top fell off during Måneskin's 2022 VMAs performance of "Supermodel," leading MTV to awkwardly censor the set.

She began the set with her left shoulder and chest exposed except for a pasty, and according to [Page Six](https://pagesix.com/2022/08/28/maneskin-vmas-performance-censored-after-wardrobe-malfunction/), the wardrobe malfunction occurred as she joined a group of dancers at the front of the stage, causing the fabric that had been covering her right shoulder to fall off and pool around the elbow. Afterwards, the camera stayed tight on vocalist Damiano David and his (more child-friendly?) ass-less chaps.

Bassist Victoria De Angelis rocked out so hard on stage that her top fell off — but she just kept playing while MTV cut away to an empty room.

Right after the band won Eurovision in 2021, the music group went viral when a clip of them drinking at their table showed David bend his head over the table. The Eurovision-winning band coordinated their black and silver looks for their night out, with David wearing a sheer black cape over his black pants. Prior to hitting the stage, De Angelis walked MTV's black carpet — alongside bandmates David, Ethan Torchio and Thomas Raggi — with her outfit fully intact. Amid the flashy performance of "Supermodel," lead singer Damiano David and his backless chaps kept the audience at Newark, New Jersey's Prudential Center distracted while De Angelis' top fell.

In some ways, it’s like every other event of its kind: It’s clickbait — something that people can read about online and then goes away. Cable channels are regulated by the FCC, which means the television, since its inception, has had to behave as a guest within the home. It sort of allows MTV to have that image of, “We’re being racy, we’re being edgy,” but at the same time not doing anything that’s going to cause an advertiser boycott. But this idea of a complete interdiction on seeing nipples is very much an American [reaction]. I think the question of MTV as part of a conglomerate-owned enterprise that was fined and punished for its role in the wardrobe malfunction with Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake. You can’t show a nipple, but you can have Miley Cyrus doing her thing with the [
