The MTV Video Music Awards is one of those events where you never know what to expect on the red carpet. But, one thing you can always count on is Selena Gomez bringing the class and glamour. That is just what she did at this week’s big night in NYC.
Donning a breathtaking, custom hand-beaded scarlet Oscar de la Renta gown with a dazzling tendril skirt and delicate floral neckline, Selena was the belle of the ball. When it came to her beauty look, makeup artist Hung Vanngo went classic and sultry giving the Rare Beauty founder beautiful bronzy skin, soft & smoky warm chocolatey eyes and a mauve-brown matte nude lip. Let’s just say in a sea of looks that left little to the imagination, Selena stood out amongst the crowd. I especially loved the combination of her powerful red dress and come-hinter makeup, it was the perfect mix of feminine and sexy. It was also one heck of a look to win an award in, which Selena did for her collaboration on “Calm Down” with afrorave artist Rema.
