Check Out Big Sean’s Latest Adidas Originals Sneaker Collab

by 6 mins ago

Big Sean has a knack for designing killer kicks, y’all. For his third collab with Adidas Originals, he decided to put his own spin on the ’80s favorite Metro Attitude Hi, which will drop next month. Even though Big Sean sold out his all-black Pro Model IIs last year, he still decided to go for a more colorful approach this time around–by decking out his sneaks in bold Hawaiian print.

Big Sean x Adidas OriginalsFacebook

The floral pattern is printed on snakeskin paired with on-point gold detailing, and Big Sean told Complex his inspiration came from the Hawaiian Islands. “I’ve spent a lot of time in Hawaii with the G.O.O.D. fam just recording. It’s one of those places where I just felt comfortable with myself and it’s where I had some of the best experiences and learned the best lessons of my life. It was cool to incorporate those experiences into the shoe. Every sneaker, I want to have a cool theme to it and tell a deeper story. We working from that perspective and adidas definitely helped conceptualize it. I’ve always got to come with something new and fresh. I’m going to keep it me and keep it Detroit, and have fun with it.​”

Big Sean also noted that his “First Chain” lyrics are printed inside the shoes–in solid gold. He told Complex, “There’s been a lot of perks, really. You get to go ...

by 29 mins ago

We’re just going to call it now: Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett are our favorite couple of 2014. The besties collaborated on a jazz album (called Cheek to Cheek, which will be released this September) and just when we thought it couldn’t get any cuter, they announced this morning that they’ll be starring in H&M’s holiday campaign. Together. :’)

Lady Gaga posted a video on Instagram, and said, “Tony and I are excited to announce that we’re the stars of H&M’s holiday campaign” to which Tony replied, “That’s right–Lady and I, cheek to cheek, with H&M for the holidays.” Are y’all tearing up yet?

by 11 mins ago

By now you’ve probably seen the best dressed ladies on the VMA red carpet, but did y’all peep those on-point nails? If you weren’t able to see the celebs IRL (or don’t have insane zooming capabilities), we’re here to help. We rounded up the best nails below just for you guys—’cause we’re cool like that.

NICKI MINAJ

Nicki Instagrammed her killer 3D digits (twice!) a few days ago, and dang, we can totally see why. She loaded up on the studs, gems, and iridescent glitter for a nail look that was sure to stand out with all 5 of her outfit changes.

RITA ORA

We already saw a preview of Rita’s “Black Widow”-themed manicure yesterday, but dang–girl forget mention that it cost $56,000 to put that nail art together! Rita used AZATURE Black Diamond nail polish paired with hand-crafted diamond spiders and ruby bows for THE most killer (heh) look of the night.

SARAH HYLAND

Sarah went for a single stripe of gold across nude nails for a simple-yet-dressy look we could totally sport on the daily.

BEYONCE

If you can tear your eyes away from those rings, Bey’s nails are just as amazing. She swiped silver metallic polish on stiletto tips with an accent charm on the ring finger.

The ‘Teen Wolf’ Cast Slays On VMA Red Carpet

by 31 mins ago

We know the Teen Wolf cast kills it (heh) every week on MTV, but IRL, Tyler Posey, Holland Roden, Dylan O’Brien and the rest of the gang pull out all the stops when it comes to their personal style. Today on the VMA red carpet, they went for stellar late summer looks, which we need to discuss ASAP. Let’s check ’em out.

TYLER POSEY

Tyler went casual-cool in a burgundy thermal shirt paired with relaxed black skinnies and boots. He even managed to coordinate with his soon-to-be-wife Seana Gorlick, which obviously means he’s great husband material.

HOLLAND RODEN

Holland ba-rought it on the red carpet in sporty-yet-girly all white Milly frock with metallic silver Rupert Sanderson pumps and a matching Kotur clutch.

DYLAN O’BRIEN

The most badass outfit from the Teen Wolf crew definitely came from Dylan. His all-black ensemble featured a varsity jacket, tee, skinny jeans, boots, sunnies and, of course, his signature smirk.

ARDEN CHO & DYLAN SPRAYBERRY

Arden look ’dorbs in an all-sequin strapless mini dress paired with a high pony and metallic accessories. Dylan also went for the boots-and-jeans look (are you seeing a theme here?) but chose a graphic tee and denim jacket to finish the ensemb’.

Dang, y’all. If there’s one thing we love here at MTV, it’s bodysuits, and during tonight’s VMAs, we were #blessed with not one but two—all in the same performance. Iggy Azalea and Rita Ora sported head-to-toe Marco Marco spandex onesies complete with killer cut-outs and tons of rhinestones (as promised!).

For their beauty game, Iggy went for a slicked-back ’do, while Rita sported a blunt-banged bob–just like in their music video. (Also, please note how the backup dancers are covered entirely in mesh–like, even their faces.)

by 19 mins ago

If you follow Ariana Grande on Instagram, you’re already well-versed on Grandma Grande. Her IDGAF attitude is totally badass (see: that time she caught on fire and didn’t even care), but when we caught up with the VMA performer (and nominee!) this week, she told us mamma G is also her biggest style icon.

She’s a fashion diva,” which means a lot coming from a girl who is consistently killing it onstage and on the red carpet. “She’s too much to handle, and I’m obsessed with her. I aspire to be her one day.” Check out what else Ariana had to say in the video above, and don’t forget to tune into the VMAs tonight to see what she wears!
