Lil Wayne's Pants at MTV VMA's: Get the Better Look

We can all agree that Lil Wayne's performance at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards was a bit strange.  First, there was the fact that he was lip syncing an auto-tuned track.. why would you need to both auto tune a song AND still lip sync to it?  Second, he pulled out the air guitar (anyone else realize it wasn't hooked up?) and strummed three notes and destroyed it.  Then, it was the pants... the pants that had everyone talking!  Pajamas, jeggings, panty hose; whatever they were, they were tight, leopard, of totally off trend.

Printed pants are on trend for this season, and for those that can afford high fashion selections, I would recommend the following non-animal printed options:

Alexander McQueen FW11

3.1 Philip Lim SS12

Loden Dager FW11

Libertine FW11

Kim Kardashian Wears Kaufman Franco Dress for 2011 Video Music Awards

A post-wedding glow Kim Kardashian attended the MTV Video Music Awards without her husband Kris Humphries, wearing a glittered gown by Kaufman Franco.  The dress was sensual and fitting, true to the aesthetic of designers Ken Kaufman and Issac Franco, but Kim K did not do the best job in accessorizing.  She gets kudos for keeping the neck bare, but with a dress that looks like one giant piece of silver jewelry, she could have done without the silver bracelet, and went with black bracelets or just used her new wedding ring as the main accessory.
