1004. Fashion Trends - MTV Awards Red Carpet Activity

The “MTV Fashion Trends” activity objective is to examine red carpet fashion trends of high-profile people at a major entertainment event.

Red Carpet events are the prime time for designers to showcase their work and for celebrities or high-profile individuals to gain the spotlight with their unique outfits.

Personnel from all levels of the fashion industry are involved in making the magic happen on the red carpet. The buzz continues days after the shows end with reviews of who wore what; who wore it best; show-stopping looks; and the dreadful question of “what were they thinking?”.

Students will have the opportunity to share their perspective of the red carpet looks for the specified entertainment event by:

• Watching an entertainment event. (homework)
• Observing the trends. (homework)
• Researching the looks. (homework)
• Reporting on your findings in the provided template. (classwork)
