No one.

The VMAs seriously disappointed this year with the lack of flare in dress choice.

When it comes to award shows, I could care less who wins. Once the shows signs off, so do I. But there is one thing I always bring up the next day: what everyone was wearing. To me, that’s the best—or worst—part of the shows.

The MTV Video Music Awards are notorious for risk-taking artists: This is where they bring snakes as accessories, wear meat dresses, and make out on stage. Naturally, I tuned in to the awards this year expecting, well, something unexpected.

Unfortunately, I was bored with the outfits for the most part. There was Nikki Minaj, who tried way to hard to be Gaga-esque; Gaga, who was less Mother Monster and more Mister Guido; and too many plain-and-simple outfits. Rapper Tyler the Creator (Best New Artist winner) strut around the ceremony in a tie-dyed kitty shirt. Come on; way too casual.

Not to say that there weren't some sharply dressed people on Sunday night. Beyonce looked perfect, as usual, though it was a tad too early to try to pull off the maternity-dress look. Selena Gomez' dress didn’t, thankfully, scream “I wish I weren't still a Disney Girl,” but instead murmured “Psst, I am tastefully getting older.”  It was one of my favorites of the night. 

Pit Bull matched from head to toe during his performance, and I loved it. I think his red pants/white and blue striped shirt /white blazer combo suited him well. Even the napkin in his blazer pocket matched his pants!  He definitely rocked the Cuban-stud persona he portrays through his music.

Overall, the clothing choices this year were just alright. Nothing sparked my interest in a good way, not even Katy Perry’s yellow cube hat.

What was your favorite outfit/look of the evening?
