10 Important Things We Learned Last Week: August 29 – September 4
This was the week Kim Kardashian allowed her wedding dress to get knocked off, Muslim women got knocked out at an amusement park, and a 3-year-old girl wore fake boobs and got lauded for it. Also, some designers pushed back their collections because of the hurricane, and Tavi Gevinson announced a launch date for Rookie.
When Did The VMAs Become Just An Excuse To Wear Costumes?
Everyone knows that an MTV red carpet is an excuse to let a little loose, take a few risks, and up the sartorial ante. And that’s why they’re so entertaining!

WATCH: Lady Gaga Opens The VMAs As Her Alter-Ego Jo Calderone
We were first introduced to Jo Calderone over a year ago, when images of him began “leaking” on to SHOWStudio.com.

Not only was it not red (it was white), but it was poorly organized and, generally speaking, poorly dressed. But because we never turn down an excuse for a red white carpet round-up, here it is. From Katy Perry to Ke$ha, Justin Bieber to Jared Leto, this is what they wore.
