This year’s MTV Video Music Awards were definitely full of some un-needed drama. We love Taylor Swift, and she really handled herself with such class! But aside from the drama on the stage, there were definitely some dramatic looks on the red carpet. I personally fell in love with Leighton Meester’s ensemble. It was fashion forward and edgy, totally perfect for this type of event. Yet, her look still remained refined and fabulously put together.

What caught me eye about Leighton’s look was those fabulous shoes. They are Giuseppe Zanotti set to be released at the end of November, and let me tell you, I already want a pair, and I think I will have to start saving up now. The ivory leather and overly silver studded shoes are totally fabulous, I am obsessed with the color combination and the cut-outs along with the cuffing of the ankle. The shoes were paired with a gorgeous Christian Cota sequin petal sleeved shift dress and a timeless Bottega clutch. The look is pure perfection. Her hair and makeup really completed the look for a tousled, morning after look that was a bit androgynous and totally hot. We loved her look, but we must say, the shoes totally made the outfit. So amazing!
