Is it sexist to ask women on the red carpet what they are wearing?

The Emmys may have been a big night for fashion, but some on the red carpet wanted to avoid the dog and pony show.

Miley Cyrus, for example, boycotted the walk because she feels it objectifies women.

Her move comes on the heels of the #AskHerMore campaign which, in recent years, pushed red carpet interviewers to ask female attendees deeper and more thoughtful questions other than, "Who are you wearing?"

Michelle Dalton Tyree from Fashion Trends Daily talks about the tension between red carpet fashions and politics.
