2013 VMA's: Red Carpet Wrap-Up

Brooklyn's first time hosting MTV's Video Music Awards brought out a lot of glitz and glamour as well as stylish and chic.

Leopard, lace, and leather were top textures and patterns that graced the VMA red carpet last night. From singer/dancer Ciara to singer Katy Perry the red carpet roared, literally.

Though the VMA's are better known for being footloose and fancy free, the stars gave it a Golden Globe, old Hollywood kinda feel.

They showed up in extended trains, ruffles, feathers, and gowns that hugged in all the right places.

Of course, no awards show is exempt from those that didn't quite get it right but all eyes were on the ones that absolutely did.

The runway looks that were altered and those that remained in their original states brought a lot of smiles and cheers to the designers that created them.

Speaking of designers, top designers that made the red carpet pop, were, for one, Max Azria's Herve Leger plunging neckline dress worn by singer/songwriter Taylor Swift was simple, elegant, and stunning. Another notable designer seen on Taylor's best friend Selena Gomez, was Atelier Versace. The side bustier of this dress screamed grown and sexy. Last but not least, as aforementioned, Ciara rocked a see through feather and lace number by Givency which was also seen on Beyonce in 2012.

All in all, the 2013 VMA red carpet was on fire and the glam squads did their thing once again, making it a night of unforgettable fashion and style.

It's not a Trend It's a Comeback: Denim Overalls

Over the years Denim Overalls have been in and out of style. They popped up in the 70's and in the ’90s they were a staple. And now once again they're appearing on the fashion runways making them the hottest and newest trend this season. If styled correctly and with a little patience, anyone can find a pair that looks fabulous. Just make sure to wear your denim with stylish, modern accessories like a polished clutch or chic boots or heels for an eclectic and not-at-all-outdated ensemble! Will you be a trendsetter this fashion season. Keep it Swank. 

TEEN CHOICE AWARDS: Red Carpet Wrap-up

The Teen Choice Awards have wrapped but the fashion is in full swing.

The red or shall I say blue carpet was chock-full of this years hottest summer fashions. Some of next years' runway looks even debuted at the TCA's.

Though these awards are light-hearted and fun for the teens, the seriousness of the fashion trends seen on the red(blue) carpet was out of this world.

There were bright colors, (which was the theme for this summer), basic blacks, (which are always in), and jumpers to die for. 

The Teen Choice Awards proved that you don't have to be a teen to get in on the fun and flirty styles. The adults definitely brought it on the blue carpet. Notable were Kerry Washington as well Tia and Tamera Mowry, amongst many others.

There were also some that felt that skin was in and decided to bare it all, well, not necessarily all, but a large part of their bodys' were showing and they felt no remorse.

For the most part, however, many were fully clothed and had an absolute blast. While there were a few somber moments, as when the 'Glee' cast members honored their fallen cast mate, Cory Monteith, which brought many to tears, myself included. But the rest of the Teen Choice Awards were just as upbeat and exciting as they always are. 

I'm definitely ready to see what's in store for next years TCA's. Until then, take a look a the 2013 red(blue) carpet highlights.
