Photos of Olivia Palermo at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards

by POPSUGAR Beauty 13

The City star Olivia Palermo played it a little safe and maybe even a tad too grown-up on the red carpet tonight. Her long hair was swept back into a low, side chignon that, while elegant, seems more appropriate for the Oscars than it does the VMAs. Her makeup takes it up a notch, especially those long lashes. She highlighted her eyes with a deep silver shadow and perfectly plucked brows. Standard pink cheeks and lips completed the look. What say you, am I being too harsh on Olivia, or would you have preferred more oomph?
