Best and Worst Dressed at the VMAs 2011

Worst Dressed

When I said that Kim Kardashian's Kaufman Franco dress looked terrible, I had no idea how terrible! It was even worse from behind:

I can't even begin to tell you how much I hate illusion netting. If you're gonna show your back, then show your back! This just looks unnatural. And then it wrinkles and looks even more unnatural or like you have the skin of a 70-year-old; I don't even know which is worse. At least she had her hair out so that you couldn't see where the fabric started in the neck; that's a plus.

Adele in Burberry Prorsum. I've actually seen this on a lot of Best Dressed lists, but I think it's one of the worst outfits from the VMAs; it's so boring. I love Adele, but I don't love anything about this outfit. Even her hair is horrible.

Speaking of boring.... Katie Holmes in an Azzedine Alaia dress and Proenza Schouler boots. And besides being boring, those shoes are so wrong for the occasion.

 

Deena Nicole Cortese. I don't even know where to begin. Hair, makeup, accessories, dress - it's all equally horrible.

JoJo in Marco Marco (haha, just that in itself sounds funny). First of all, I didn't even know she still had a career?! I had basically forgotten she existed. And second of all, this is so ugly. It looks like she has giant wings sticking out from her hips. Yes, fly away, please; I don't ever want to see this again.

At least Nicki Minaj' outfit was fun and inventive. She gets an A for effort.

Rebecca Black in a Theory jacket and Louboutin heels. I didn't know Louboutins could actually look bad, but apparently they can. The whole outfit is so matchy-matchy it makes me wanna puke.

"Gucci Gucci" singer Kreayshawn. Could she at least have worn heels????

 

If you read this blog, you know how much I love sequins, but this sequined D&G jacket is horrible (at least combined with that). I've seen this on a lot of Best Dressed lists too, but I just didn't like it at all.

Oh, Snooki is on a Worst Dressed list, what a suprise!

Best Dressed

I posted some of those looks last night during the show (here), but you can see the outfits more clearly in these photos:

Selena Gomez, who hosted the pre-show, looked stunning in Julien MacDonald. Maybe a little too sophisticated for the VMAs, but I don't care, I love this!

1. Katy Perry arrived in a super cute Atelier Versace dress. This is just so VMAs-appropriate and fun and original and amazing. She looks so adorable it almost makes me like her hair.

2. Later, she accepted an award in a Christian Dior ensemble, Guiseppe heels and a Philip Treacy, uhm, cheese cube hat (?). I have to admit, her hair actually looks really good with this outfit.

3. Then she opted for a more "mature" Tom Ford dress.

4. And in the press room at the end of the show she wore a Johnny Wujek dress and another pair of Guiseppe heels.

Kelly Rowland in a Falguni & Shane peacock dress. I feel like the 'peacock' theme is getting old, but she does look great...

Beyonc� arrived in a beautiful Lanvin dress. This is definitely one of my favorites of the evening!

At first I was a little conflicted about this outfit, and I'm sure it'll end up on many Worst Dressed lists as well, but I just think it looks great on her. Jessie J has just the right amount of attitude to pull this off and she managed to look cool despite a broken leg, which, obviously, isn't the easiest thing to do.

Zoe Saldana in Barbara Bui. It was a pretty safe and very typical-Zoe-Saldana choice, but I still like it. And the shoes and accessories are perfect.
