Red Carpet Fashion Awards

Too Dark & Too Gothic Award
Selena Gomez co-hosted the Pre-Show at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards which was held tonight in LA at the Nokia Theatre.

The petite actress chose an intricate black Julien MacDonald Fall 2011 dress.

Her gothic look features a high lace neckline, a short skirt in the front and an overlay in the back with a longer train.

Selena brightened up her dark ensemble by adding gold accessories, including Brian Atwood pumps, a Judith Leiber metallic box clutch, Lorraine Schwartz Ofira gold drop earrings with black stones and a gorgeous black and gold Lorraine Schwartz Ofira cuff.

She finished her look by pulling her hair back into a casual bun and wearing pink lip-gloss.

I love Selena’s accessories but think her dress is a little too sophisticated for the MTV VMA Awards.

I wish she had opted for something brighter, younger and more fun.

Tan Much Award
Louise Roe attended the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards in LA tonight looking like she just stepped off a plane from St. Tropez.

The British TV presenter looked bronzed and super summery in this pretty Tibi halter maxi dress.

Her taupe maxi has a colourful beaded and a jeweled neckline was paired with a red transparent Edie Parker ‘Lara’ clutch, gold cocktail ring and strappy metallic heels.

She finished her look by styling her hair in a relaxed side ponytail and rimming her eyes with black liner, which I feel was a bit too heavy for this look.

I do love her coral nail polish though which complements her summer vibe perfectly.

Most Likely Not To Be Included In The BDOTW Poll Award
JoJo attended the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards held at the Nokia Theatre in LA tonight.

The singer wore a Marco Marco dress.

Her black strapless bustier dress features sheer panels on the front and side plus a full bubble skirt.

She’s showing her more grown up side in this dress, especially as she wore her darker locks in a sleek straight style.

A pair of heavy black pumps plus diamond jewelry, including a chunky cuff bracelet, drop earrings and an assortment of rings completed her look.

I like the hair and smoky eye makeup but the dress and shoes aren’t working for me.

The lower half of the dress is unflattering for her petite figure and the top half seems too tight. She might have got more points if she had added some fun, exciting accessories.

It looks like I was wrong as Charlotte Casiraghi was actually the first person to wear a look from the Giambattista Valli Fall 2011 Couture collection.

The Princess wore her blue strapless bustier gown and cape whilst attending the official dinner and firework celebrations after the religious ceremony for the Royal Wedding of Prince Albert II of Monaco and Princess Charlene of Monaco last month.

Her gown was accented with a jeweled belt which we didn’t see on the runway when the show was presented a few days after the wedding ceremony.

SJP wore the same dress in red tonight on the red carpet for the “I Don’t Know How She Does It” Moscow Film Presentation with simple gold Fred Leighton jewels.

I want to give this to SJP as she showcased this gown so perfectly tonight, but I love the addition of the jeweled belt and the soft blue colour so Charlotte wins for me.

Sarah Jessica Parker wasn’t the only one wearing a red Fall 2011 Couture look this weekend.

Lady GaGa hosted the Atom Factory VMA Dinner in LA on Friday night wearing a red Alexandre Vauthier Fall 2011 Couture jumpsuit with a plunging neckline.

The eccentric singer opted to wear her ensemble with matching sky-high platforms.

I like the look, sans platforms, put I would’ve preferred the ruby necklace as worn by the model over GaGa’s silver statement.

GaGa clearly wanted to make her greater impact with her choice.

A supersized updo, Emmanuelle Khanh sunglasses and a red satin Alexandre Vauthier Fall 2011 Couture clutch complete her look.

Stay tuned for the MTV VMA coverage.
