As you may have heard by now, some serious drama went down at MTV's Video Music Awards the other night. (Oh, Kanye...) Luckily, Taylor Swift bore the on-stage interruption with characteristic class. Also: style. Here are TIZA's picks for the ten best dresses that made their way onto the red carpet.
Not a pity
vote! Swift's dress is perfectly glamorous, playful and (importantly!)
age-appropriate for the occasion. Excellent use of bangles.
2. Alexa
Chung
Is it just
me, or is MTV personality Alexa Chung channeling Jenny Humphrey with the whole
good-girl-gone-goth look?
3. Leighton
Meester
Speaking of
Gossip Girls...Leighton Meester once again strikes the optimal balance of uptown
chic-meets-downtown glam
Pulling off
the pre-attached dress-plus-capelet combo look is no small feat. But Amerie
rocks it. Great color, and even better job accessorizing: note the simple hair
and makeup + appropriately utilized ankle bracelet (which helps balance those
wings up top!).
5. Beyonce
About to
approach dangerous territory, length-wise, but I dig the style and color.
6. Solange
Knowles
Getting
experimental with the ruffles! In a good way.
7. Rose
Byrne
Actress
Rose Byrne knows how (and when) to work this playful party dress.
8. Miranda
Cosgrove
Disco-ball
chic as it should be.
9. Amanda
Bynes
Perhaps a little serious for the occasion, but who
can resist a flattering, skintight LBD?
10. Lady
Gaga
Um, points
for creativity? (Only recommended for the mind-blowingly adventurous.)
