When it comes to choosing the perfect red carpet attire, most celebrities rely on the expertise of their stylists… But Kim Kardashian turned to Twitter for a fashion verdict. Posing the question: “dressy sexy look” or “casual chill” for the VMAs? Ultimately, Kim chose a vintage John Galliano dress that left a lasting impression at the awards show.
