MTV VMAs 2008 Short Fashion Recap

One word: BO-RING.  I was so disappointed in the show this year.  Totally anti-climactic.  You would thing being the 25th anniversary and all that MTV would have put out all the stops.  Where was Madonna (on tour)?, Michael Jackson (who knows)? Guns N’ Roses (are they even still friends)?.

I was really expecting some of the big acts from the 80s to show up and represent or at least have a some stars from today perform them in a bigger capacity (not on a side stage!)  BIG let down.  Or is it that I’m getting old?  *Le sigh*

Anyhoo, let’s just get right to the fashion:

Britney!

*Gives standing O* Ms. Spears 100% redeemed herself after last year’s VMA fiasco (time flies, doesn’t it?  Weren’t we just cringing talking about this performance?  What a difference a year makes…)

She played it a bit safe with two different silver dresses (not crazy about dress # 2 – reminds me of Wilma Flintstone), but either way, safe is so the way to go in Brit Brit’s case now-a-days.

Kudos to her dad.  She looks marvelous.  Well done.

Rihanna.  Meh.  While it’s a nice dress on the red carpet, I’m over her wearing corset dresses.   And the white heels?  Nope.

Her makeup, however?  F-L-A-W-L-E-S-S!

RiRi looked ama-ZING on stage (especially in her performance with T.I.)  Loved the little cropped biker jacket (that she wore with nothing underneath, I might add!)  You all know I’m a sucker for rocker chick fashion…

Speaking of cute cropped biker jackets, model Bar Refaeli  wore one with her dress and it looked grrrreat!

Solange (singer). FA-BU!  Love the shorter hair, love the color of her dress?  jacket? Whatever it is, it looks great on her.

And the heels?  Fiyah!!

Christina Aguilera.  Whoa. All I thought of during her performance was, “HOT MAMA!”  The Elvira/Catwoman makeup and ensemble worked for her (both on the red carpet and off).

Isn’t her son only like 8 months old?  Niiiice.

P!nk.  She effin’ ROCKS!  So I’ll forgive her for this, um, Beetlejuice-inspired number.

Ciara.  Hot.  I love the entire look from top to bottom.  You better work Cici!

Jordin Sparks – Adorable.

Keri Hilson. Nope.

Pussycat Dolls. (singer).  Meh. Coulda been better on all parts (just like the damn award show…)
