VMAs 2011 Shoe Fashion Recap
Did you watch the VMAs last night?
It seems to be the buzz around the water coolers today. There were crazy outfits, big stories (did you hear Beyonce is pregnant?), and some pretty great looking women’s shoes.
The stars of the night were Beyonce, Adele, and Katy Perry. They were the big stories in a night filled with celebrities. It’s tough to stand out when everyone else at the show is a big celebrity too, but some stars just have what it takes to steal the show.
Here at the shoe factory we always focus on the stars’ feet. There were some great shots of what the stars were wearing and some insights into the upcoming trends…
MTV Video Music Award 2011 Shoes
Over the years the VMAs have had their share of defining moments. The stars usually work to make something crazy happen so they can live forever in Video Music Award lore. The legends of past shows live on forever and really become what people talk about most.
In other instances, the VMAs are remembered most for the performances. The stars work to put together a great stage show that entertains the people at the show and those watching at home on TV. There was one performance that really seemed to hit home with fans this year. It was not your traditional performance, but it packed the punch that left fans with a great memory. I’ll mention it here in just a bit…
Katy Perry
CandyLand girl was in full force at the 2011 VMAs. She made an impression with her style, her songs, and her big award wins. Katy Perry took home some of the night’s biggest awards and really became one of the memorable figures of this year’s show.
