VMA Black Carpet

I hate to say this, but after watching the VMA's last night my suspicions have been confirmed.  Musicians don't dress well.  All right, sorry if you're offended, but for the most part it's true.

I adore Nicki Minaj way more than the average person, but her outfit was disastrous.  There was something weird about watching Jessie J sing in a chair with a bedazzled leotard and cast.  Lady Gaga didn't rock her normal avant garde fashion, so she's out of the game.

Britney Spears has never been a *sophisticated* fashionista, Selena Gomez was channeling Dracula's bride in her pre-show outfit, and Katy Perry's yellow block on her head was too reminiscent of the Dior Couture show that I also didn't like.

OK, sorry for the rant, but that leaves us with the likes of Beyonce (WHO IS PREGNANT MY LIFE IS COMPLETE) in Lanvin, Katie Holmes whose outfit I actually would wear except maybe not to a nationally televised event, Zoe Saldana who isn't a musician and thus has fashion sense and the Teen Wolf girl.
