Earlier this week, I wrote about the colors of the Emmys and it was interesting to see how later in the same week, the colors worn to the MTV Video Music Awards were quite different.
The attire worn at these two star-studded award shows is a study in how color choices can be influenced by geographical location and personality of the event.
With a sunny California backdrop, the Emmy’s was a show of bright, rich colors walking the red carpet. Purple reigned supreme at this years Emmy’s Award Show. Shades of aubergine, violet, and plum graced the red carpet and purple seemed to establish itself as this season’s hottest hue.
But in this week’s MTV Video Music Awards, purple didn’t play a leading role. Stars chose darker, more subdued colors, reflecting the urban camouflage and glitter associated with the New York City skyline.
Black, grey, and metallic looks ruled at the MTV Video Music Awards with stars like Justin Timberlake, Jennifer Lopez, and Jessica Simpson choosing edgier, more subdued colors.
Other stars at this event included the Pussycat Dolls in black, silver, and gray dresses, JLo, who sparkled in off-white, and Shakira, who looked simply sensational in all black.
