Jeremy Scott adds a makeover of the MTV Moonman to his list of 2015 achievements

Fresh off last week’s news that Jeremy Scott would be creating some of the costumes for Madonna’s upcoming tour comes word that the designer has given MTV’s iconic Moonman trophy a makeover.

Scott’s redesigned version – which will be handed out to winners of this year’s MTV Video Music Awards – gives the astronaut-like statuette a palette inspired by the color bars of a television test pattern, an outsized peace-sign necklace and winged sneakers that closely resemble the popular kicks Scott designed for Adidas.

Monday’s announcement calls the makeover “part of MTV’s long-standing history of bridging the gap between the world of fashion and music.”

This is the second time the Moonman – which dates to 1984 – has been given a stylish makeover. In 2013, the artist KAWS did the one-off honors, replacing the astronaut helmet with a cartoonish skull-and-crossbones head.

The 2015 MTV Video Music Awards are scheduled to take place at 9 p.m. Aug. 30 Eastern time with FOJ (“Friend of Jeremy) Miley Cyrus set to host.
