LOST IN THE LUXE: The Best Dressed of the 2013 MTV VMAs

August seems to be the month where all good things come to a close, and Hollywood certainly bears no exception as we begin to say goodbye to some of the most entertaining award shows until next year. Unlike other award shows though, MTV's Video Music Awards are always more theatrical, playful, and of course, musical. It is for these reasons that I always look forward to watching them as it seems each year is bigger and better than the previous. Not to mention, the stars in attendance seem to always ambiguously offer some sort of new, juicy, gossip for the public to feed off for a few months.

More importantly, the VMAs is known for its tolerant dress code, and so we never know what we're going to see on the Red Carpet. As a result, many artists seem to express themselves best at the VMAs where we always see them stroll in in a range of outfits from jeans and a tee shirt (echemm, Rihanna) to floor-length frocks and sky-high heels (..Ciara), or as seen multiple times at this year's show, in hardly an clothes at all!

Regardless of any expectations we have for the VMAs though, they never fail to entertain us! Here are some of our favorite ensembles from the evening in Brooklyn:
