VMA Fashion 2013

Tonight was the long awaited award show (and personally one of my favorites) the MTV Video Music Awards! This is where all the hottest singers get together under one roof to... Blow. Your. Mind! 

But before we get into the award winners lets talk about the red carpet appearances. 

As in every award show there is a graceful red carpet walkway that the celebrities can walk on and are photographed by hundreds of hungry photographers. 

Here are my favorite looks of the night and some not so favorite.

The Ladies:

Lady Gaga:
The one and only Gaga and she was flawless of course. Now I have to admit she looked very vampy tonight with long black hair and a sexy black gown. But something about it seemed much more toned down than usual. Is it because she recently got hip surgery and has been reovering for the past few months? Either way I love her new style. Looking gorgeous as ever Gaga!

Ariana Grande:

She stayed true to herself and her style in this

adorable floral, silk dress with puffy sleeves was perfect for her style. 

I bet you anything her dress was made by one of her favorite designer, Kenley Collins. 

She paired it with these super chic pointy white heels that were of an appropriate hieght for a young girl like her. I love her as a fashion inspiration for all the younger girls as she is very sweet and girly. 

Her hair was left in her signature half-up/half-down style. Pretty, makeup with a cat eye and nude lips. 

Competely adore this one!

Ellie Goulding:

Wow, she is so gorgeous and I love her music! Her dress was so amazing!! It was a pale, nudish color that was covered from head-to-toe with spikes!!! It was crazy cool and somehow so chic! It was not over-bearing at all or too over the top. It was a perfect combination of edginess and chic.

Nervo:
 This is the first time I ever hear about these two gorgeous DJs. OMG! Their dresses were my all time favorite as they walked down the red carpet and possed for the paps. Wow. That's the word that describes it. Both wore black gowns with edgy twists to it. Incredible style. I will be keeping my eye on these girls!

Selena Gomez:

In love with the subtle sexiness of her dark, navy blue longlseeve gown. It was embellished by beads down her torso and she wore a lace corset underneath. Love the sleek, straight hair and minimal makeup. Looking good flying solo girl!

Rita Ora:
Wow she was a drop dead beauty in her glitzy glam, sparkling gown with a sexy slit on the side. Her style as grown in the last year or so and she continues to evolve and become even more beautiful every time I see her on the big screen. She even wore her signature red lips!

The Gents:

Robin Thicke:
Looking quite dapper in his black suit with leather lapels. Not to mention his beautiful wife beside him, Paula Patton. I'm not a huge fan of his song, Blurred Lines, and I was disgusted by his performance with Miley. But because this is just about fashion I have to admit he's got style. Both of them do.

One Direction:

There aren't any words to describe how amazing these five boys are. Each one has their own impeccable style and yet they all retain a perfect, cohesiveness. They won "Best Song of the Summer" for Best Song Ever (which was a new category btw)! They totally deserve it and everyone that booed was jealous! BSE really is the perfect song for summer! Let's all take a moment to praise their good looks and well... just let the photo speak for its self. 

30 Seconds To Mars:
This three men are my favorite men in the whole entire world! Not only do I support there music (for years I have adored them) but I love their style. Now, I'm not a big fan of Jared's long locks but I know he likes to change his look alot so I don't expect it to stay too long.
As for Shane, why must you always wear glasses!! I want to see your beautiful face!
Tomo, now you have cleaned up soooo nicely! I remember when you had that long hair. Now you're ultra sexy in the clean cut do and the scruffy beard. Keep it please!
Plus, they won Best Rock Video Award!! Congrats!!!

The Nots:

Becky G:
Sorry, but who is this cause I have no idea. I didn't really like the outfit for the VMA's red carpet. It's a little too casual for me. What do you guys think?

Katy Perry:

Wore a cheetah print, turtle neck, longsleeve dress embellished with gold butterflies enbellished on it?
And what is up with wearing these grills, no. 

Miley Cyrus:
She's not one of my favorite singers but I can't get "We Can't Stop" out of my head. Plus her outfit was a little bit more toned down and less rocker chic than usual. Last time she was on my blog she was on the worst dressed list and unfortunetly she is on my worst dressed list again. Sorry Miles.  (Her performance didn't help either. There's a difference between being an artist and trash).

Austin Mahone:

What in the world was he thinking wearing all pleather/latex whatever the heck that was? It was a very Justin Beiber kind of performance which makes me very sad because I believe Austin had potential...

He first appeared very charming till he changed into his jumpsuit. 

There are many many more celebrities that walked down the runway like Crystal Reed, Holland Roden, Shailene Woodley, Macklemore, Pharrel, Bruno Mars, and many many more! 

Here's a link for all the winners of the 2013 Video Music Awards!

The Met Gala 2013: Beauties and Not

The creme de la creme of Art Galas happened on Sunday night in the Metropolitan Museum, New York City. The theme for this event was punk and all the attendees dressed to the occasion with metals, spikes and leather! All the beautiful celebrities were there and here's an inside look of my favorite outfits of the night! Enjoy!

Who Wore It Best!
Rooney Mara and Riccardo Tisci:
Wow, Rooney looks so glamorous in this white gown and the fancy back (open back) is my favorite part of it all. The shoulders, I have to say, are amazing as well. She has really grown in her sense of style through out these events of the past few years. So proud! She wore a white Givenchy Haute Couture lace dress by Riccarco Tisci (creative director of Givency) Riccardo looked just as handsome, I'm sure he was dressed in Givency, and they looked so beautiful together.

Anne Hathaway:

Looking gorgeous in her new blonde hair, she wore a black vintage Valentino dress from 1992. She looks stunning and looks so modern! Her dress is vintage yet it looks like it was made especially for her. The details on this dress are impeccable! I am so blown away! (BTW this is how you do punk hair). Look how Gerard Butler looks at her <3 He looks gorgeous as well in that suit and bow tie, I must say.

Sarah Jessica Parker:
I love her and think she looks gorgeous, though I could have done without the headpiece. Her dress is absolutely stunning on her.
Headpiece is by Philip Treacy and Gilles dress.

Rosie Huntington-Whitely:
She looked so fierce in her metal dress by Gucci. It was a stunning black and gold gown!

Emmy Rossum:
All I can say is wow!! She looks absolutely gorgeous!! My favorite part of this dress is he back and the tail. Bravo Emmy! Her dress is a one-of-a-kind Donna Karen Atelier platinum embroidered lace gown and Giuseppe Zanotti shoes.

Who Didn't Make The Cut:

Nicole Richie:
Okay, first thing that threw me off was the bleached white/blue hair, what?? I have no idea what she was thinking and maybe the color is the reason why I don't think she can pull off the pixie cut. I guess she took the theme "punk" to a wholenother level.
The dress is by topshop.

Dakota Fanning:
Dressed in a black and cream silk charmeuse Rodarte gown complete with wings on the back and cut outs. Sweety, what are you thinking? You're 20 years old and it looks like you don't have a stylist!
What you needed was a black short, skater style dress/gown, embroidered if you like and deff with cut outs to add that rebellious touch. Add some metals on your arms and fingers, pull up the hair and line those eyes. Sorry girl, this one just didn't make the cut.

Jessica Biel:
She literally layered every lace Giambattista Valli Haute Couture piece she could find to pull this off. Sad part: she didn't pull this off. I am not feeling those leggings, the shape of the dress, the cut, the style, nothing. It doesn't help that her face is so neutral. High and low dresses are meant to show off your legs, if you don't want that then don't chose it. Opt for a long gown with a slit if you want just a little showy. Better luck next time!

Sophia Coppola and Marc Jacobs:
Okay, I understand Jacobs dilemma of "standing out" and maybe this looks good in person. But right now, he looks extremely short (which I think he is) next to Coppola and the dots are not helping. Full on suit with dots is a no.
As for Coppola, what are you doing?? Go home and get out of your satin pajamas. (by Marc Jacobs go figure). Just because they look comfortable and you "didn't want to wear a gown" doesn't mean you should!! Stylist! Where was your head when you dressed this woman?
You're a celebrity for godsakes! Dress the part and enjoy it!

Miley Cyrus:
Um... what can I say but what?? The dress is blah, the hair is AH, the face is plain, and overall the look is not working. Maybe with a slicked back due it would have worked but this is taking it to a distasteful level. She's been going downhill ever since she dyed and cut her hair.
