Ellie Goulding In Amato Couture by Furne One - 2013 MTV Video Music Awards #VMAs

Ellie Goulding was one of the Brits who took to the red carpet at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on Sunday evening.

She dazzled in a nude floor-length turtleneck gown which was covered in spikes and featured a thigh-high slit.

The colour works beautifully for her skin tone; I don’t think she’s ever looked better. Edgy without ramming it down our throats and being too in your face.

Tousled tresses and Brian Atwood ‘Obsession’ pumps provided the finishing touches.

If you are thinking “How did she sit in that spiked creation for the 2-hour show?”, she didn’t. She was spotted inside the venue in a totally different all-black Saint Laurent look with Brian Atwood ‘Rocyce’ platform sandals.
