Red Carpet Round Up: VMAs

Now I know the VMA's red carpet isn't known for show stoppers but I have to say I am a little disappointed that I only have THREE looks that I liked. I saw too much shiny cheap asymmetrical dresses gone bad on the red carpet. These are the looks I thought we worth mentioning.

Ashley Greene in Giambattista Valli
I thought this was sexy and appropriate for this type of show. I love the contrast of the white and black.

Ciara in Givenchy
I would say it is almost too "dressed up" for the VMAS but the slit and shoes makes it work.


Katy Perry in Marchesa
Hate the hair, hate the nails, hate the shoes but am proud of her for attempting to be classy in Marchesa. Again love the contrasting.

What to Wear: VMAS


Tonight is the outrageous MTV Video Music Awards. For all of us non reality show, singer, rapper, model stars we will be tuning in tonight dreaming of being surrounded by the kooky crowd that shows up on the red carpet. If I were going this kook fest this is what I would wear:

Tibi One Shoulder Dress
Steve Madden Caryssa Pump in Blush
Jasper Cocktail Ring
Scrimshaw Warrior Skull Clutch Alexander McQueen
Mini Pyramid Rose Gold Stud
Lady in Black Nail Laquer OPI

With even more opportunities to take risks with your ensemble the VMA's is the perfect place to show your personality and rocker edge without having to worry about being accused of going too far. There will always be someone with a pasty and nothing else on next to you. Watch the VMA's (and Drake perform!) tonight at 9pm ET with the red carpet starting at 8pm ET! Check back tomorrow for my red carpet round up!

Red Carpet Round Up: The ESPYS

The ESPYS are like the Grammys when it comes to the rules of red carpet dressing. You have a little more free range, it's sports! Here are my three favorite looks from the Red Carpet.
These gals are killing it. Marisa is my favorite…stunning in Alexander Wang of course.

Emanuelle Chriqui is in BCBG and can't find the designer of the amazing one shoulder on Erin Andrews but she looks stunning!

Redcarpet Roundup: MTV Movie Awards

The MTV Movie Awards isn't known for a haute couture red carpet but it is still worth mentioning. This is the show to have some fun and take risks with your ensemble. I had a handful of favorites.

We know that I am a City girl so applause to Whitney Port finding a balance between having fun and still looking gorgeous. Love this nude and neon yellow Yigal Azrouel mini dress complete with nude glittery Serigo Rossi shoes.


Nikki Hilton usually flies under the radar for my taste but I love this Missoni mini. Perfect for summer time. Stephanie Pratt isn't my favorite person in the world but I love this highlighter neon black little number by Leila Shams.

The winner for me was the gracious Sandra Bullock. The backless glitter black number looked amazing on her with simple hair pulled back and a red lip complete with sky high nude pumps. Can she do wrong in anyone's book?

Classin' it up in Cannes

Everybody who is anybody was partying up this past week in Cannes. Someone who has stood out in my mind as a style master is beautiful Kate Beckinsdale.

Red Carpet Round Up: Teen Choice Awards

Loving the looks popping up into my blog roll this week from Nickelodeon's Kids Choice Awards. Here is my red carpet round up of favorites:

Zoe Saldana: A great Spring look! Keeping this in mind for my own ensemble inspiration
Selena Gomez: If I were a teen I'd want to be her-love the side braid.
Victoria Justice: The jewel tone green and those black booties stunning
Rihanna: Loving this toned down look for her but still a bit of edge with the shoulders and on trend with nude.

Oscar Ensemble Break Down

So the Oscar red carpet last night was filled with ups and downs. I have to admit I was expecting to be blown away but my best dressed list was pretty easy.

Hands down I thought Zoe Saldana was best dressed in Givenchy. From the minute I saw her get out of her limo I couldn't take my eyes off the dress. I know a lot of people didn't understand her dress but THIS is how you dress for the Oscars. Her movie was nominated, she's young this is how you're supposed to dress. Her outfit pushed the limit but not to far and it the colors looked amazing on her.

Coming a close second to Zoe I thought Meryl Streep was breath taking. She was dressed age appropriate and looked like a Hollywood goddess in Chris March (Project Runway Alum!). Also loving Carey Mulligan. It is not easy to pull off pleats and jewels, created a nice silhouette for her. Rachel McAdams' dress is absolutely beautiful and not too over the top. Penelope is always a gem in my eyes, her earrings gave this outfit the little touch of glam it needed.

Now for my least favorites.
Ok honestly, I have a bone to pick with Jennifer Lopez aka J.Lo aka Jenny from the Block whatever it is she is calling herself these days. I am so sick of her face popping up everywhere like a desperate Debbie at all media events. Honey face it you're done. This dress while hitting the voluminous trend looks like it is made out of bubble wrap and looks like a Barbie tent.
I am upset with these ladies who aren't NOMINATED wearing these over the top dresses...(ahem Miley Cyrus). Even if you're presenting I don't think its appropriate to be over the top. If you're not nominated or your movie isn't then you don't get the option of wearing an "extravagant look at me" dress.
As for SJP loving the hair not loving the Chanel and same goes for Diane Kruger. Sorry Karl.

My favorite look of the night was Nicole Richie. I am loving the hair, the make up, the dress, the back. If I was going to the Oscars this is what I would wear. Loving it!

What were your Oscar hits and misses?
