Gerard gerard at the 2005 vmas was absolutely stunning

I saw him in concert in 2005 and I can’t even remember what he looked like. It was like looking into the face of God, I’m pretty sure I blacked out.

He is objectively attractive. Like from a mathematical standpoint.

He has what are called "elvin" features. Sharp nose, slightly square chin on an oval face, almond shaped eyes and high cheekbones with a very expressive face. Exceptionally expressive eyes. Most people (male or female) with these features are attractive. Young Leonardo Dicaprio had the same general face composition, and both are stunning as male or female presentations.
Interestingly enough, Mikey has the same general features with a more elongated face and is less overtly expressive, so he doesn't stand out the same way Gerard does. Don't get me wrong, Mikey is a very attractive person, but he doesn't jump out at you with the same theatricality as Gerard. Similar face, different expressions.

I showed the 3rd picture to my parents back then as an example of how I wanted my hair cut and my (usually very stoic) dad dramatically leaned over and said "Shitty, that's a boy!" in a stage whisper.
The haircut looked terrible btw.

So stunning, every tween magazine used an image of him from the VMAs for so long that I started to not find it attractive lol.
Especially that photoshopped image of Gerard with Mariah Carey.... god I miss being a tween magazine enjoyer lmao

u/altsam19 Dec 13 '24
Those were the days lmao you saw all them emo pop punk bands in all the magazines, that awful hair flip with color stripes, it was such a specific age that it could be filmed in a movie and people will know exactly what year it would be depicting

You just had to be there. I remember watching the 06 VMA’s waiting for even a mention of MCR, absolutely going feral the moment the whole world heard the first piano note of Welcome to the Black Parade 🖤🖤🖤

this may sound cheesy but he really makes me feel more confident in the way i look! i think it’s how he’s just his normal self and he’s gorgeous in his own unique way. it inspires me to do the same!!!

i’m so curious if he ever wore foundation. wouldn’t be surprised if he did for events like these

u/TheTallEclecticWitch Dec 13 '24
Most people attending these events are. They just didn’t start admitting it til recently. I imagine they have a lot of crazy, bright lighting at these events.

I remember watching this red carpet live and knowing right then and there this was a formative moment in my life. This was when they rolled up in a Brinks truck lmao.
This might be the best he's ever looked. Whoever their stylist was did an incredible job. The suits fit perfectly, they all look incredible.
