VMAs 2013

So last night was the VMAs but because I am from the UK, I am currently watching the re-run as I type! However, I have spent the last hour looking at the red carpet images and all I can say is I am underwhelmed. I imagine the best-dressed lists will be a rather short read as there were very few celebrities who came out any plaudits. Here are a few looks that caught my eye.


My best-dressed has to be one Ellie Goulding. Now I used to be a HUGE fan of her when she first came onto the music scene but I thought she had second album syndrome. However, I have never really noticed her style until now! If you are a regular reader of my blog, you will know that I love studs more than any other embellishment or pattern so this dress is right up my street! I'm not usually a fan of the polo neck but this just seems to work and the dress fits her like a glove! And I know the side leg split has been done soooooo many times on the red carpet lately but I say if you've got the legs, why not show them off?! Simple jewellery, nude heels and her trademark messy hair finish up this look.


Next up is Naya Rivera. I'm obsessed with Glee anyway and all of the girls in it have amazing style! Naya is definitely the one with the sexiest style and this is no let-down! This dress has such understated sexiness about it with the cut-out sides, my idea of sexy. In fairness, I think she is just an all-round sexy woman, I have such a girl crush on her. Yeah, this look is just perfect and she is perfect in that dress.


Now to one Miss Selena. I'm not ashamed to say I love everything about her. I love how her style has evolved and now she has such a grown-up fashion sense. This might be one of my favourite looks on her. The corset underneath the dress makes the dress look oh-so-sexy but because of the peekaboo aspect, the long sleeves keep it classy. I also love the detail on the seams of the dress and the navy colour! Again, loving the side split and those peeptoes. She just looks so elegant nowadays unlike most young stars out there (ahem, Miley Cyrus, I'm talking about you!)


Next up is Selena's bezzie and apparent date for the night, Taylor Swift. I love how they colour-coordinated with each other in this navy shade, which happens to be one of my favourite colours! Now I am all for this dress; it hugs her body perfectly but I HATE the hair! It makes her look so old! You know I love you Tay but just not the hair in this style!


Miley, Miley, Miley. What on Earth are you doing with your life? Stage costumes and performance aside, this look just looks like she has a pair of basic black leggings on and she's got her little sister to stick some gems on her! Just no, try and be a bit classier Cyrus!


Next up is Allison Williams from Girls, a newcomer to the red carpet scene but boy does she know how to dress her body! I have seen so many of her looks and she gets it so right pretty much every time! This little lace number is such a classic look unlike most of the dresses on display on this carpet! She knows her style and sticks to it and this dress fits her to a tee.


Last but not least is Shailene Woodley. The young actress looks stunning in this two-piece ensemble. I love the plain crop top with the patterned skirt. Because she was only presenting, I like that she went with a quieter look because it was a night for musicians. And look at the legs on her, jealous!
