When the stars turn out on the red carpet for the MTV Video Music Awards, it's their time to be adventurous in fashion. The dress code is sharp, sexy and with an edge.
The VMA's is the music event known for its controversies, from Kanye West gatecrashing Taylor Swift's moment in 2009 to Madonna kissing Britney Spears in 2003.
British boy band One Direction were the big winners at last night's awards, which took place at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles. They edged out Rihanna to take home three prizes to crown their arrival on the U.S. pop scene just six months ago.
On the red carpet there was an overarching theme of ethereal silvers and whites - Rihanna as a Greek goddess in a draped white gown, Taylor Swift in a sharp white suit and British girlband the Saturday's co-ordinating in pale shades.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
