The MTV Video Music Awards are a guaranteed anything goes environment for fashion and behavior. Unfortunately a few celebrities do not understand decorum in behavior. A few more missed it on the fashion tip. Despite the antics and attitudes (a resounding return to class is King thankfully), I did find some fun looks to share. And oh, a few surprising disappointments caught my eye too.

The Decked
Two words - Lady Gaga. She is always adventurous, courageous, edgy, ridiculous and original. I give her big props for being an artist true to her heart.

Kristin Cavallari is sleek and sexy in this sequin, strapless minidress. Her statement bracelet was a perfectly themed and balanced accent.

Alessandra Ambrosio encapsulates the spirit of the VMA’s in this edgy ensemble with just the right blend of trendy picks mixed with her timeless style.

The Surprising Disappointments
Beyonce danced her heart out in her live performance of ‘Single Ladies.’ She also displayed her world-class professionalism by giving Taylor Swift her deserved moment taken away by a rudely behaved rapper. However, this dress is not one of her best fashion looks. Although the color is perfect on her, the fabric is not. Ladies, if you have curves, steer away from taut fabrics. Taut fabrics do not move with your curves, let alone flatter them. You know I love big jewelry, however; there scale, shape and size rules do apply to everyone. I give her major points for stacking those sizzling bangles.

Jennifer Lopez is an entertainer who I love to see on and off the red carpet. However, her choice last night was one of the least flattering selections to show off her coveted curves. This look proves that just because you wear a designer label doesn’t mean that it will automatically flatter you!
