MTV’s 31st Video Music Awards were held Sunday night at The Forum in Los Angeles (specifically Inglewood). The red accents of the renovated Forum is a PERFECT backdrop for red carpet looks – especially since the VMAs have provided such iconic fashion moments as Britney and Justin’s all-jean ensemble, Jennifer Lopez‘ daring Versace dress, and Lil Kim’s purple pasties. Who will we see go down in history tonight?

Black and White was also a theme of the night…

SOLANGE. Working the androgynous look. Honestly I like her even better than Bey. One time I got hooked into this forum thread on the Illuminati about how she was secretly Beyonce’s daughter and I want to believe.
