2011 MTV Video Music Awards: Who Wore What? Selena Gomez in Julien Macdonald Fall 2011

Selena Gomez in Julien Macdonald Fall 2011: Little Miss Selena went a bit, shall I say "Gothic" for tonight's MTV VMA's. I get what she's going for: She's doing that "thing" that all these former Disney girls do--pushing the "envelope" and being a little more edgy. When I look at the model on the runway, the black embroidered Gothic-Vampira edgy thing works. On Selena, however, it almost doesn't. Maybe it's the gold pumps, the almost-pageant-y up-do, and lest we forget: She's just so darn CUTE! A "Gothic dark" dress doesn't really belong on such a CUTE girl. What are your thoughts? Would love to know...

Red Carpet Report: 2011 Teen Choice Awards--Demi, Selena and Taylor...

Actual Teens at the Teen Choice 2011



Last night was the Teen Choice 2011, held at the Gibson Amphitheater in Universal City. So naturally, it's time for my "Nick V. Red Carpet Report". First up, ACTUAL TEENS at the Teen Choice 2011:



Demi Lovato in BCBG Max Azria: There was a bit of a trend--with several actresses last night--of wearing dresses with extra "trails", as I call them. And Demi Lovato's mustard yellow-and-nude BCBG by Max Azria was one example of this. I'm still deciding whether I would have chopped the asymmetry from the dress or just left it. She does look pretty. Nice tan Demi. She looks as if she just got back from Capri! The hair though, well, it's a bit overwhelming: She's a can of Aqua Net away from Snooki/Quinceañera territory. Overall it is a very pretty, pulled together look from head to toe.



Selena Gomez in Erin Fetherston Fall 2011: See what I told you about the trend of having extra "trails" in your dress hanging down...Here it is on the beautiful Selena Gomez aka Mrs. Bieber. Because she is so adorably cute, the style of the dress comes off a bit Pageant-esque (as opposed to the photo of the model who looks more Grecian-Diva) but I love the mix of accessories.



Selena's strappy violet-colored shoes with raw-cut rosette detail are very cute. Not DIVA cute, just cute-cute.



Taylor Swift in Rafael Cennamo: Taylor is vibing a "Marilyn Monroe Moment" in this halter-style flared dress with crystal-studded waist from NY-based designer Rafael Cennamo. Just kinda boring. Nothing to exciting. Very "Nordstrom Dress Department". It is age appropriate and I'll give her that! I LOVE the hair and the make-up but then again, it's Taylor Swift so she could do pretty much anything.

MTV Movie Awards Red Carpet: Selena Gomez in Giambatista Valli Spring 2011

Mini Cute...

Cute Selena: Selena Gomez in Gianbattista Valli Spring 2011, 2011 MTV Movie Awards

Actress--and Justin Bieber arm-candy Selena Gomez did not wear a dress from her own Kmart "Dream Out Loud" line (why not Selena? Not in your contract?) but instead, wore a dress from Italian Designer Giambatista Valli to the 2011 MTV Movie Awards...It was cute, if not a bit "directional" for her. There are several things going on with this ensemble--the stand-out top, the shirred midriff, and then the mini---but still, it somehow worked on Selena. The matching clutch and pointy heels were great! So bonus points to her--and/or her stylist. The finishing touch, which kept the entire look young, was her hair and make-up. Very Cute. I know "cute" in other instances might not be a good thing--but here, it is...
