Fashion Recap: 2008 MTV Movie Awards

The MTV Movie Awards popped off last night at Universal Studios in La La Land, and the celebs were out to sashay the gold carpet in style. Let the judgment commence! First, I thought Paris looked quite fetch. The hair, the makeup and the dress are old school glam but at the same time, just bubblegum enough to be quintessential Paris.

Perfection! Love the turtleneck mini with daring white ankle boots. Puh-leeze tell me that you all went to see SATC this weekend! In a word...amaaazing. I laughed, I cried, I drooled over all the delicious fashion...definitely a must see.

Our favorite fug kept it simple in an LBD. A little sun wouldn't hurt but she's looking good with the longer hair!

Ew. I'm just not into LL. There's just something so...vulgar about her. Sorry boo.

Megan Fox's gorgeousness was almost enough to distract me from the fact that her dress, clutch and shoes are all working against each other. What's up with that?

I think LC's dress is my favorite. It hugs her curves and shows just enough skin.

Looks like Audrina "Dead Eyes" Patridge is trying out bangs. Good for her.

Heidi is perfecting her porn star look in a Herve Leger bandage dress.

This dress is not the most flattering on Whitney, from this angle she looks majorly boxy.

Anne Hathaway chose a super sophisticated one-shouldered dress that is oh so diva-esque.

Love her! Charlize is working the corset, pencil leg pants and gladiator heels like an Amazonian goddess.

I understand she's not a girly girl, but Ellen Page should take some style notes from Charlize re: wearing pants to an event.

I really like this look on Jennifer Hudson...very cute. And yes, that's her bra.

Liv Tyler is pretty in pink in a ruched dress with black pumps.

Who's your fave?

2007 MTV VMAs: Fashion Recap

Lil Mama, don't let me see you in the street

So...last night's MTV Video Music Awards were kind of a snore but the fashion hits and misses did not disappoint. Let's get to it, shall we?

It's All About the Color

Three colors ruled the red carpet: Hot Pink, Black and Gold

Both Rihanna and Megan Fox sparkled in the hottest of pinks. They looked young and fresh, perfect for the VMA's!

A. Keys and Rosario Dawson went back to black in form-fitting LBD's (lil black dresses). Rosario looked fab and although it was a tad severe, I was a fan of Alicia's look. She definitely pulled it off!

Nelly Furtado and Ashlee Simpson on the other hand, should have went back to bed. Nelly's hair looks overprocessed and as disheveled as her silk pantsuit. And Ashlee love, your look is speaking volumes and it is saying "anorexic cat." Can you try less eyeliner next time, for me?

fadddddddddd

Miss Yonce and Eve were both living life like it was golden; Beyonce in a gorgeously draped goddess gown, slit up to there (that looked much better on television) and Eve in a sparkly number that was quite similar to what Beyonce wore to the 2003 VMAs. Eve's stylist should really do her homework.

Nicole Scherzingleberries of PCD got the memo and decided to try to outdo them all by wearing...wait for it...black AND gold. Someone should have told her to focus on wearing one hemline.

And how could I forget J.Hud? She was also rockin the black and gold. Cute dress but her wig is making me itch.

Best Dressed
Once again, Rihanna gets my coveted Best Dressed award! (Note to RiRi: Your biscuit is in the mail). She was simply gorgeous in her Jessica Rabbit-esque gown that fit her to within an inch of its life. The color popped and kept the look young, while her neutral makeup was the perfect accompaniment. Definitely the showstopper of the evening.

Worst Dressed (by far)

Yes, Lil Mama did show up in this coon-tastic mess of an outfit. And yes, I did just say coon-tastic. When asked what the hell she was thinking, she replied, "This is the birth of hip-pop and I'm the baby." I had to keep from reaching out and slapping her through my television. She should have just kept it real and said that she wanted to look like a sparkly Easter egg threw up on her. At least she would have had my respect.

Fashion Recap: 2007 MTV Movie Awards

The 2007 MTV Movie Awards, though admittedly not required viewing for serious fashion trackers, did offer up a few summery trends that are both covet-worthy and easy to duplicate. Let's take a look...

Paint the Town Red

It's no wonder that the color red is hotter than ever, it's classic, sexy and sweetly sophisticated.

Jessica's Alba's hemline, on the other hand, which I was horrified to notice on more than one dress at the show, is none of the above.

Who Wears Short Shorts?

I don't, and if you are anything but a tall, leggy model-type, I would seriously advise against you adopting this trend. However, on the right body, short shorts are a perfectly fun trend to try this summer. Paired with a slouchy tank, it's L.A. inspired dressing at its best.

Tunics and then More Tunics

Tunic-style dressing is here to stay. Whether worn alone, with jeans or with leggings, tunics and oversized t-shirts will carry you through Fall with ease.

Best Dressed: Rihanna

From the fierce jet-black bob to the sweeping lines of her gown, Rihanna was a breath of fresh air on the red carpet. Yup, she can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella...yeah you know where that's going.

Worst Dressed: Victoria Beckham

Your girl Elle is all about an animal print, but somewhere between the pink bra, washed out hair and hooker pose, Vicki went tragically wrong. Better luck next time!

So ladies, let's take these red-carpet do's to the streets! And leave the don'ts at home.

Until next time, be fab!
