Celebrity Fashion Fix

There was a major red carpet event in the US this week, ladies and gents – the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards were held in Brooklyn, New York. These are the awards that brought us classic moments like Kanye West’s stage-storming, Swift-interrupting “Ima let you finish” tantrum. Like Lady Gaga’s meat-dress wearing red carpet arrival. Like Madonna pashing Britney and Christina. This year’s ceremony had a moment all of its very own. You know who I’m talking about! Here are all the red carpet looks from the VMAs – tell us what you think in the comments section below!

Katy Perry

Katy Perry rocks a “Roar” grill on her teeth while posing on the red carpet at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards held at the Barclays Center this week in Brooklyn, New York.

The 28-year-old entertainer is wearing an Emanuel Ungaro dress.

Those shoes are all kinds of awesome but I have a question. Is it just me or are all her toes the same length?

And no, I’m not enjoying the mouth bling or the dress very much at all. But then I’m not her target market so more power to her.

Jordin Sparks

100 Internet Points to anyone who can think of something nice to say.

Jordin Sparks bares her midriff in white at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards held at the Barclays Center this week in Brooklyn, New York.

Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga is a beauty in black while walking the red carpet at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards held at the Barclays Center this week in Brooklyn, New York.

The 27-year-old entertainer donned a black Prabal Gurung “technical satin” gown with a long train and a bow at the waist.

Well, it’s a bit of a letdown really. No hatching from an egg, no bra top, no see-through pants, no crazy face mask. I mean come on, she wore the infamous meat dress to these awards just three years ago. (Three years! Feels like that happened in like 2006 or something!)

Iggy Azalea

Iggy Azalea stuns in gold at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards held at the Barclays Center this week in Brooklyn, New York.

The 23-year-old Aussie entertainer (oh god, really? She’s one of us? Are we supposed to have heard of her?) wore a silk embroidered halterneck gown from the Spring/Summer 2013 collection of Emilio Pucci.

Yes, you DO look like a synchronised swimmer in the close up.

Zoey Deutsch

Zoey Deutch hit the red carpet on her way into the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards held at the Barclays Center this week in Brooklyn, New York.

The young Vampire Academy actress wore a stunning Jonathan Simkhai dress, Saint Laurent shoes, a Jack Vartanian bracelet and Fallon earrings.

Someone needs to rethink her go-to pose. It’s creating all sorts of unflattering creases and what not.

Holland Roden

Holland Roden almost stops the show in a stunning gown at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards held at the Barclays Center this week in Brooklyn, New York.

The Teen Wolf actress wore a Naeem Khan Resort 2014 dress, with Rupert Sanderson heels, and a H. Stern ring.

I completely adore this….. if that wasn’t pants.

Go ahead, put your finger over the screen to cover up the pants and see how stunning it would look as a gown.

But as it is, it just looks like she was a few months late for the MET Gala.

Lil Kim

Lil Kim attended the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards held at the Barclays Center this week in Brooklyn, New York.

Here are my notes:

Mustard-coloured suede platform booties
ill-fitting ostrich feather-trimmed plastic jumpsuit
WWE championship winner’s belt
Wonderbra from 1994
feral head

Ellie Goulding

Ellie Goulding is a pointy bombshell (bahahhaa!) at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards held at the Barclays Center this week in Brooklyn, New York.

The 26-year-old English songstress dazzled in a silver and nude spike-studded floor-length frock with high neckline and thigh-high split.

I hope this isn’t one of those events where a giant beach ball is tossed about to the great delight of the crowd. Because Ellie would be a real Debbie Downer if that’s the case.

Also, I hope she’s not planning on actually sitting down any time soon.

Sarah Hyland

Sarah Hyland made her way into the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards held at the Barclays Center this week in Brooklyn, New York.

The Modern Family and Vampire Academy starlet wore a Marchesa dress.

I love this girl but WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON HERE??

She’s hoiked it up too far after she got out of the limo, didn’t she?

And those shoes were an appalling choice. She could have done better in the footwear department. She looks stunning though. Go Haley!

Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus twerks it out on the red carpet at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards held at the Barclays Center this week in Brooklyn, New York.

The 20-year-old entertainer wore a vintage Dolce&Gabbana outfit, Giuseppe Zanotti shoes, and Lorraine Schwartz jewels on the red carpet.

Stay classy, Miley.

Edited to add: I wrote this after images of Ms Cyrus on the red carpet hit the wires and BEFORE her now-infamous performance. My “stay classy” comment is now drenched in even MORE irony than before. I should have seen it coming.

And now for the two stand out breathtaking stunners for the night. Take note Miley, this is how it’s done…

Selena Gomez

WOW!!!

Selena Gomez shows off her high slit at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards held at the Barclays Center this week in Brooklyn, New York.

The 21-year-old beauty shone in a skintight Atelier Versace gown that peeled away on one side to reveal a risqué corset top.

This is Halle Berry 10 years ago. This is what Heidi Klum is wanting so badly to achieve but that boat sailed for her long ago. This is so awesome I am fumbling with my words. This could not be pulled off by pretty much anyone else. Selena is sweet and demure enough to rock it without it coming off skanky. She is young and gorgeous and just perfect for it.

She gives it just the right amount of class and sex appeal. This is one of those “safety pin dress” moments that launched Elizabeth Hurley. This is a dress that will be remembered.

Wow!

Taylor Swift

OMGWOW!

Taylor Swift looks breathtaking while hitting the red carpet at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards held at the Barclays Center this week in Brooklyn, New York.

The 23-year-old musician flew from wrapping her concerts in Los Angeles to the Big Apple to present at the award show with BFF Selena Gomez.

Taylor is wearing an Herve Leger dress, Prada shoes, a Smythson of Bond Street clutch, Lorraine Schwartz earrings and bracelets, and Ofira rings and bracelets.

It’s a ballsy move to wear a bandage dress well after the bandage dress craze has passed. But it doesn’t LOOK like a bandage dress. It’s been reinvented. And she pulls it off amazingly well.

AND OMG isn’t she gorgeous? Wow. I was so excited when I saw these pictures for the first time this week. And I actually uttered the words “oh man, I do love my job”. THIS is why I do what I do.
