Rihanna, Ashlee & More: All Access VMA Fashion

Walking last night’s VMA red carpet, the loudest cheers went to Paris Hilton and her new ‘do. In the end though, Paris was just one style highlight on a night that had Stacy London from TLC’s “What Not To Wear,” and Access Hollywood’s own Shaun Robinson, very busy.

“It’s Armani Prive,” Rihanna revealed of her hot pink gown, which she admitted took only ten minutes to get into.

Rihanna personified the prerequisite for the night in her shiny, tight, cleavage-enhancing dress.

Spice Girl Mel B donned a gown by Herve Leger. Spinning for Access Hollywood’s cameras, Mel looked magnificently firm, five months after giving birth.

Solo mom Jennifer Garner took the red carpet with her “Kingdom” co-star Jamie Foxx, in a white, shimmery mini by Temperly.

In classic VMA style, black also prevailed.

Alicia Keys proudly gave Access a spin in her dark Herve Leger number.

“It’s all about the motion of this dress,” she said.

In a Dolce & Gabbana bustier, blonde Nelly Furtado showed how to wear the style to seek out this fall – wide pants.

Smoky-eyed Ashlee Simpson picked up a last minute dress at New York’s fashion week.

“I actually saw it at the fashion show the other day. I was like I really want to wear that,” Ashlee told Access.

Ashlee typified the trend of the night that’s easy to afford and is still in style – black nail polish!
