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 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 be this season's hottest hue. See the purple gowns seen at the Emmys in my post from earlier this week.
In this weeks MTV Video Music Awards purple didn't play a leading role. Stars chose darker, more subdued colors reflecting the urban camoflauge and glitter associated with the New York City skyline. Black, Grey and Metallics looks ruled at the MTV Music Award with stars like Justin Timberlake, Jennifer Lopez and Jessica Simpson choosing edgier, more subdued colors.
The Pussycats chose black, silver and gray dresses, JLo sparkled in off-white and Shakira looked simply sensational in all black.
