MTV’s VMA’s| The good, the bad and the ugly

Last night was a huge night for celebrities, press and fashion lovers everywhere. Not only was it Fashion Night Out, it was also the MTV Video Music Awards, which is always eventful. This year saw the reunion of Rihanna and Chris Brown, with them sharing a little kiss in front of all to see. However it is not the show that I am interested in, my guilty pleasure with award shows, which I guess I share with many of you, is to cast my critical eye upon the fashion on the red carpet. So I will share with you my pick of the good, the bad and the ugly.
the good
  • Emma Watson did us British girls proud, and showed up in a fun and flirty dress. Although the loud print is not something I would wear, I admire that she let the dress do the talking and kept accessories, hair and makeup to a minimal.
  • Demi Lovato was my favourite, she dressed down this sparkly cocktail dress with her studded leather jacket, but her dramatic red lips and long tumbling waves make her look smart enough to be walking the red carpet.
  • Miley Cyrus dressed to impress! Like Demi Lovato she channelled her inner rock chick. Miley's dress alone is beautiful, but her chose of accessories, and her dramatic quiff have made the dress more fun.
  • Katy Perry’s dress hugs her curves and gives us a glimpse of her legs, making her look like a vixen. I’m not one hundred per cent certain of the print, but no one can deny that she looks incredibly sexy. I think I am most in love with her hair and makeup choices, very glamourous.
the bad
  • Jessica Szohr’s outfit just looks a mess. I don’t really know where to begin, so I shall just say it all. In my opinion her top looks like it’s a piece of supportive shape-wear, the skirt it too casual, as are the trainers, and the headband is just wrong. This is not a red carpet suitable outfit.
  • Rihanna is a girl who’s outfits I either love of hate, and unfortunately I hate this one. If the dress did not have the knot detail on the front I think I would love it, but as it does Rihanna looks like she is wearing her bed sheet and is on her way to a toga party.
  • Rita Ora… oh dear! I admit the detailing on the jumpsuit is exquisite, but it is not flattering in the slightest. The girl has such a great body, she should be making the most of it.
  • Pink really disappointed me in this dress. Like Rita Ora she has an amazing body and yet she has covered every inch of it. I do actually love the dress; if only it showed more skin.
Nicki Minaj
I know Nikki Minaj is an obviously choice for a girl who gets it wrong, but she just can’t be avoided.  I agree her body is ridiculous… even if her bum does scare me a bit, but there is no need to show it off all the time. There is not one thing right with her ensemble, too tight, too many fabrics and textures and too much detail.
Do you agree with my picks? Or was there someone else who caught your eye? Let me know what you think!

Grammy Awards vs Bafta Awards- US vs UK- The Good, Bad and Awful

Two award shows in one night, weren't we spoilt! Two great shows, and two great red carpet fashion parades. I am going to share with you my good, bad and ugly for each of the awards. Personally after looking through hundreds of pictures of both award shows I think the fashion in both has been outstanding. The dresses at the Baftas were beautiful, I actually struggled to find dresses I didn't like. 

The Good- Bafta Awards
Penelope Cruz Looked stunning in this simple dress. 
Michelle Williams really stood out for me, the dress is  simple but the monochrome colours give  it an edge. I love the Book clutch bag also.
Melissa George- This Victoria Beckham dress is right on trend at the moment, a lot of sparkly dresses have been worn on the Red Carpet this season. I love the pop of colour with her lipstick, a really sexy look.

The Good- Grammy Awards

Adele had to be mentioned. This girl is all over the headlines today. She looks amazing in this dress, her recent weight-loss and her change hair style have transformed her into a classic sex siren. She looks Sexy, classy and beautiful
Finally Kelly Osbourne is not on the worst dressed list. She has finally chosen a dress that is fun, young and flirty, much more age appropriate. 
Carrie Underwood is a show topper in this gorgeous backless gown. Again a sparkly number. The monochrome, because of the black clutch really make this outfit stand out. 

The Bad- Bafta Awards
I don't like the length of Hayley Atwell's dress, its not three quarter length and nor is it full length, its in-between. 
I don't know what to say about this apart from its a bit of a mess. Octavia Spencer even looks miserable about wearing it.
Christina Ricci looks like she is wearing a tinfoil dress, it looks cheap to me.
The Bad- Grammy Awards
Oh dear! Yes Fergie you have a lovely figure, but we don't need to see it right now, not appropriate at all.
Aww poor Jessie, she made a real effort to dress up and then she looks like she is wrapped in tinfoil also. This dress does not flatter her, she looks way bigger than what she is. 
Sasha Gradiva- What is this! just why? Why the gun? Otherwise it would be a pretty dress.

The Awful- Bafta Awards
I can see what Edith Boweman was trying to do, the vintage dress, paired with the gloves (similar to Sarah Jessica Parker) However I don't think she's pulled it off, and looks quite frumpy.
The Awful- Grammy Awards

Nicki Minaj- Oh Dear! She is like Lady Gaga, as in they are both not able to just wear a dress, they have to wear a costume and make a statement. In my opinion, yes they attract column inches, but please keep costumes for the stage, not formal events.

Who was your best dressed of the night? Anyone a step above anyone else? Who was your least favourite?
