Fashion at the MTV VMA’s – The good, the strange and the outrageous

There are several award shows that you can count on for ridiculous and over the top fashion, the VMA’s is definitely in that category. With plunging necklines, extremely strange accessories and glitter and sequins to last a lifetime, here’s a breakdown of last night’s red carpet at the Nokia Theater and accompanying after parties.

The stand out look of the night…

The show stopper of the night was of course Beyonce, in a flowing blood orange Lanvin gown. The Singer announced her pregnancy on the carpet.

 Black was prominent on the carpet and so were plunging necklines…
