Tag: Fashion Round Up

This is a first in Wishing For Chanel red carpet reporting history…I fell asleep through most of the VMAs coverage this year. Whoops!

Never fear, it’s taken some time but I’m all caught up on the gossip (Cyrus vs Minja, Kanye 2020, Bad Blood Squad goals and all!) and more importantly the gowns! As always judging the looks from the red carpet for this particular event is…interesting to say the least. There’s less focus on the traditional and more on the outlandish, it’s totally unique in that respect, which require a totally different perspective to judge fashion standards by than say the Oscars or Grammys.

So, gear up, it’s about to get weird. Here’s some of my favourite looks from this year’s MTV Video Music Awards…

Best Dressed Award | Vanessa Hudgens

I didn’t even expect this little lady on the night but my oh my was she a ray of sunshine in hurricane of weird. Surprisingly (for me anyway) this year’s best dressed is going to Vanessa Hudgens, who looked like a radiant fairy queen in this gorgeous Naeem Khan. gown. I’m very much in love with the floral details on this peach number, as well as her choice of golden jewels and hair accessories which she used to style up the look. What a beaut!

Here’s a bit of a colourful lift to get you out of that midweek funk! The Teen Choice Awards were held this past weekend in L.A. and there was plenty of California sunshine to accompany some fantastic red (or in this case blue) carpet looks on the night. Here are some of my favourites…

Best Dressed Award | Zendaya Coleman

There was once a time when I would’ve passed over Zendaya’s red carpet attire as simply alright. Nowadays she’s pulls out all the stops to stand out and for that I’m truly grateful, as we get fantastic looks like this. Too haute couture for the TCA’s? Who cares! I adore this Ashi Studio look which is all about that crop structured top. It’s bold and unexpected, yet has a subtle sophistication about it. Very few could pull this off, but Zendaya does it with a fierce and fiery attitude.

Shine those tap shoes and limber up your vocal chords, it’s time for a recap of the Tony Awards!

This is my first Tony Award round up after a few years of festering on the side lines of whether to cover it on the blog and whilst I couldn’t really do a round up last year (seeing as I was y’know…there) I’m excited to get on it with this year’s red carpet. The ladies of Broadway and beyond definitely kicked it up a notch this year, and with Vogue offering to dress many of the nominees and attendees you can be pretty certain this round up was pretty hard to cut down!

Best Dressed | Kelli O’Hara

The absolutely radiant looking Kelli O’Hara was definitely one of my favourites on the night. She accepted her well earning Best Actress in a Musical award in a beautiful Oscar De La Renta gown. I am so in love with the Baroque-esque embroidery detail and the burnt gold colour too. This was totally Kelli’s night having been nominated 5 times before winning on Sunday evening and for me she completely deserves best dressed here too.
