On Thursday, the MTV Europe Music Awards (the European equivalent of the VMAs) were held in Berlin, and the red carpet was host to an array of celeb fashion. With that, I give you the Good, the Bad, and the WTF.
First, the Good:
Leona Lewis wearing a custom-made Vivienne Westwood.
Great dress- at anywhere other than an MTV award show, it would be too much.
Shakira in a vintage Versace.
Not her best look, but it’s Shakira- she’d still look great in a burlap sack. Anyway, it would be really easy for this look to be trashy, but the simple styling makes it really classy instead.
Joss Stone wearing Blue Halo.
Tye-dye on the red carpet? On Joss Stone, it works. Also, the color is fantastic on her.
Miranda Cosgrove wearing ?.
Looks like Nickelodeon is making it’s pressence known on the red carpet. I have no clue who made the dress that their starlet is wearing, but it’s adorable. I love that Miranda Cosgrove dresses her age and so well, especially when you see other starlets her age dressing like junior hookers.
And now, the Bad:
Lil’ Kim wearing… I don’t even want to know…
Lil’ Kim… channeling Janet Jackson? Well at least there are no pasties.
The Jonas Brothers wearing discount lounge wear?
To any men that might be reading this, unless you’re Liberace, SAY NO TO THE SHINY SUIT. The elder Jonases look cheap and tacky. As for Nick, velvet suits were left back in the seventies for a reason. It’s like he’s trying to look like a pimp in training. Ew.
And the WTF:
I give you Doda, a Polish popstar. Fortunately, this little… get-up comes off…
…revealing a Barbie swimsuit?
And, of course, Best Dressed:
There were some seriously fierce looks at this event- picking Best Dressed is hard. There were a couple of stand-outs, though, narrowing the playing field down to Beyonce and Katy Perry (who actually hosted the awards show):
Beyonce wearing a piece from the Atelier Versace Fall 2009 Couture Collection.
This dress is fan-freaking-tastic. The entire collection that it comes from is fan-freaking-tasic. January Jones wore a different dress from that collection to the Emmy’s and consequently topped everyone’s Best Dressed lists. I think that it is physically impossible to wear something from the Atelier Versace Fall 2009 collection and not look good.
Katy Perry wearing a gown from the Marchesa Spring 2010 Collection.
Katy Perry puts forth a strong showing as well, though. I am a sucker for lace, and this dress is just gorgeous. Considering Katy’s red carpet faux pas in the past, this gown makes her look very grown up in a good way.
So, as a tie breaker, let’s look at the outfits these two talented ladies wore during the show:
Beyonce in a piece from the David Koma Fall 2009 Collection.
A daring choice, but is it just me, or does this dress evoke the aesthetic on a tin container? You know, the kind that they put food in for you to take home from Mexican restaurants? Either way, it’s not particularly flattering.
Katy Perry in Viktor & Rolf Spring 2010.
I. Love. This. DRESS.
When I first saw it in the Victor & Rold Spring ‘10 collection, I fell for it hard. Admittedly, it’s probably the only truly wearable piece from the very avant-garde collection, but it’s still such a fabulous dress. It’s… post-apocalyptic princess. The cannon holes in the tulle, the dingy pink of the bodice… LOVE IT.
And the Swing Best Dressed Award goes to Katy Perry!
