First of all, we have Demi Lovato at the VMAs. The "Skycraper" singer met ex-boyfriend and Camp Rock co-star Joe Jonas. I loved that she looked so stunning in her Mandalay bejeweled dress that hugged her curves and revealed her cleavage. The whole look was gorgeous, from the make-up to the hair and shoes.
However, it continues to baffle me that Demi fails to bring this style off the red carpet. Unless of course, an aid of a stylist was acquired. It's great that post-rehab Demi is more confident and still has that to-die-for vocals, I just scratch my head when I saw this:
Looked a little like something the Miley Cyrus in the past would wear. Some tips here: lose the grandma cardigan and circle-framed shades.
Demi's Disney pal Miley Cyrus has appeared to 'clean up' a little from her raunchy outfits and transformed into a more stylish self. Less really is more.
The strapless LBD showed off Miley's toned shoulders and features a flattering corset-style bodice and empire waist with an A-line skirt. "The Last Song" actress, along with her co-star-turned-boyfriend (seems rather serious now, don't they?), looked effortlessly chic as she topped the look off with a pair of leopard print loafers which I absolutely adore! Where can I get one of those?!
On the flip side, as opposed to Demi, Miley didn't get my thumbs up at the VMAs in this Roberto Cavalli number.
It's a little like deja vu, like when she also wore Roberto Cavalli to the Grammys earlier in the year:
Only that, in my opinion, the latter was the lesser of the two evils. The semi-leopard-floral print was a little too overwhelming and the dress was just adding years to Miley's age. I see someone like Rihanna in this (no doubt flattering) figure-hugging long dress. Seeing Miley dressed like this make me miss the days when she wore a fun and edgy Herve Leger number to the 2010 Grammys and a feminine and sparkly Jenny Packham gown to the Oscars in the same year (see below).
Back to the awesome loafers Miley was in, Elle Fanning (who is now the face of Marc by Marc Jacobs, as is her sister Dakota) also wore some, along with the cute outfit she was in:

She was like a walking advertisement, that was how picture perfect she had looked when she was just out grabbing a meal or something. Absolutely no one else would have been able to carry this look without looking ridiculous but Elle just looked so adorable, along with that cute hat. A perfect 10 for sure.
Also at the VMAs was Vanessa Hudgens, who hosted the Candie's after-party for the event. The Sucker Punch actress was old-Hollywood glamour all over, from her cropped coif to her sparkly Candie's Couture gown.
This look didn't work for me but it was a good attempt. Maybe I just prefer Vanessa in her long flowy locks, which seem to flatter her more. OR maybe I just don't like how Vanessa's red carpet looks have evolved to become. Her casual looks are certainly more boho these days than they were in the past, but I can take them better than her formal outfits.
Vanessa's BFF Ashley Tisdale attended the Candie's after-party in a black floral patterned Tibi dress. Matched with her pink lips and caged heels, Ashley looked edgy but flirty and it's a look that works on Ashley.
But I can't seem to say the same for her electric-blue frock look which she wore to promote the launch of the Got Milk? American Cheerleader "Be Strong" Challenge Campaign. I love her nude heels and that she pulled her hair into a pony-tail but I don't think that the one-shoulder frock was flattering. It's not a bad look, just that there's something about the dress that I don't quite like which I can't seem to put my finger on.
Emma Roberts (who will soon be studying English Literature in Sarah Lawrence College in New York!) attended the VMA Party held at SLS Hotel in a full-black outfit, comprising of an alice+olivia LBD and a Anya Hindmarch glittered clutch. Emma's one of my style icons but sometimes her red carpet style can get a little dull. I personally don't like this look, and I prefer simple, nude make-up on Emma.

But sometime last week, Emma attended a private dinner held by Salvatore Ferragamo along with actresses Ashley Greene, Eva Mendes, Freida Pinto and Minka Kelly. She wore head-to-toe Ferragamo and I just love her outfit and her braided hair - pure elegance.
