edgy and cool

The MTV Video Music Awards always provide 
a look at trendy, edgy fashion. It's definitely not
the awards show for couture gowns. It's more
about making a "statement and looking cool."
In recent years, its been a "thing" to look a little
naked. While not a look most of us will want to
emulate, you have to admit it has entertainment
value. So in case you missed it, here's a look at 
some of your favorite celebs and what they wore-
Some fashionistas are calling Kim  Kardashian
best dressed at the VMA's. Supposedly she nailed the nearly naked look without
coming off as obscene. She surely looks more natural than usual and it does show
off her voluptuous body. It's definitely a statement, but can't say I really love it.
What about you?

Hailee Steinfeld has become a fashion plate and a regular on best-dressed lists since
playing Mattie Ross opposite John Wayne at 13 in True Grit
6 years ago.( She was hired as the face of Miu Miu shortly after that)
 She demonstrates great taste and/or a stylist here at the VMA's
                        ,
Brittany Spears is still a musical presence
 ( going the Las Vegas route like Celine Dion)
and she did preform a big number in the show, in much more scanty attire,
 but looks very appropriate here.
                                            
Adding feathers to the nearly naked trend was Beyonce, who stole the show with
the most award wins. She looks like an elegant birdwoman (I keep thinking about
those feathers flying in her mouth:). Blue Ivy wore a matching tutu- a popular look
for babies and toddlers, my daughters tell me.
                                            

     I love that plus size model Ashley Graham really struts her stuff.
First the Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover and now this nearly naked look
at the VMA's- proof you don't have to be model size to rock the trend!
                                            
I have to include these girls, not musicians, but definitely performers-
the US Girls Olympic Gymnastics Team- Aly Raisman, Madison Kocian,
Laurie Hernandez and Simone Biles all in cocktail dresses by Sherry Hill,
a special occasion designer carried by Georgettes  in Tampa.
                                     

Alicia Keyes is so talented and beautiful, but this dress does nothing to
highlight her assets.Cavalli is usually so cool and unique but this design
is frumpy and overwhelming on her.
                                   
I had to share this one- not because it's cool and I like it but because
it is all about making a statement. Jaden Smith, son of Will and Jada
Pinkett Smith,is definitely attention-getting and edgy in this ensemble.
                                                       
Rhianna received the Michael Jackson VideoVanguard award and dressed
for the part in a polished and sophisticated Alexandre Vauthier couture gown.
                                         
                              But changed into
                                                                     this hot number for the after party
                                                                    


A few more imaginative looks from the VMA's-
no commentary necessary

                                         
                                
            

                             and that's entertainment!
