Demi Lovato attended MTV’s Video Music Awards on Tuesday evening in Newark, New Jersey. The singer wore coordinating looks on the red carpet and for her performance during the ceremony.
Lovato arrived at the awards show in an overcoat with shoulder pads, wearing it over a matching minidress featuring sheer panels. The singer’s diamond jewelry consisted of geometric earrings and layered rings by Lorraine Schwartz and Orifa Jewels. She completed her look with a pair of Christian Louboutin slingback pumps.
