Red carpet round-up: 2015 MTV Video Music Awards

One thing’s for sure: the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards stunned in the apparel department, both for good and for bad. It’s a gloomy day when Taylor Swift is the worst-dressed at a reputable festivity as the VMAs. Luckily, reality star Kourtney Kardashian and the stunning trainer Gillian Michaels saved the day.

The fitness guru flashed her best asset — her rock-hard abs in a sleeveless mesh glitzy gold crop top and satin textured ankle-length dress pants in a shade of fiery red that adorned her bod seamlessly. The Biggest Loser trainer should ditch her sportswear often since she was clearly one of the best-dressed at the prestigious affair. Styling her blonde locks in voluminous waves, Jillian assuredly glammed up good. Keeping her makeup moderate, she turned heads in strappy heels and a bold pout that matched her glossy pants.

The Keeping up with the Kardashians star set the carpet ablaze in an enchanting jumpsuit, which we couldn’t take our eyes off — for good reason. The brightly hued halter jumpsuit comprised a plunging neckline and billowing trouser legs, which she coupled with gold pumps and a box clutch. Her raven hair was fashioned in a long, lustrous and straight look. Keeping it minimalistic, the star accessorised with gold Cartier bracelets and a corresponding clutch.

Taylor Swift



Atrocious — the first word that came to mind when the Bad Blood singer hit the red carpet in an uncanny metallic houndstooth-print design by Ashish. Taylor left her waist on display in the tacky looking two-piece outfit, which she paired with metallic Louboutin heels —  her only saving grace. The pop star rounded off her look with a substantial application of winged eyeliner and slicked back her dirty blonde hair. Sadly, the hair and makeup failed to hit a high note as well. What a slip-up.
