VMA Music Awards: Red Carpet Best Dressed
There is absolutely no doubt what-so-ever that the best dressed person at last night's VMA music awards was Adele. Classic beauty and class can never be beaten no matter who the designer or what the trend. Adele wore two dresses on the night. The first on the red carpet, the second for her performance. Both were black, below the knee and scoop necked. Both emphasised her waist and highlighted her magnificent hair, styled 60s-style. The message is clear. Adele knows what suits her (well, Anna Wintour did teach her) and she looks magnificent. Adele for the win.
And then aside from Adele's class act, we were left with a lot of short, tight and shiny. Designed to get the wearer noticed — not necessarily for the right reasons — there was very little by way of fashion. Seriously, I don't know what to do with black lace mullet dresses and fifteen spangly, tight so you wonder if they can breathe, frocks. This is not fashion. So who did bring the goods? Well, Zoe Saldana for starters. In Barbara Bui dress and shoes with a Lanvin clutch, she looked effortlessly elegant. Katie Holmes definitely tried a bit harder, but landed up with a great Alaia crochet dress and Proenza Schouer booties. It was high price-tag style. Speaking of price tags, I love Jessie J and I love how she is working her crutches and jazzing them up for big occasions. That's all. Just love her. Just fancied including her. Whatevs.
So, my winner is Adele, but who is yours. Pick now...
