Fashion Recap: 2008 MTV Movie Awards

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!
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.

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?

Louis Vuitton doesn't care about black people
Controversial Danish artist Nadia Plesner is being sued by Louis Vuitton for copyright infringement as a result of her Simple Living campaign, which is meant to raise money and awareness around the genocide in Darfur. The campaign features a stirring image that really illustrates the nonsensical world we live in, where in the midst of the ongoing genocide of an entire nation of people, the mainstream media would rather provide Breaking News updates everytime Paris Hilton falls or farts.
I agree with Miss Brigette. Really, LV, your bags have already been (and will continue to be) knocked off left, right, up, down and center. Why not establish some goodwill by using those legal fees to make a donation to an organization that's helping Darfur?
You can buy a t-shirt or poster with the image and help out the cause, here.

Ask Elle
Hey there, I'm Anja from Sweden. I came across your blogg today and i'm LOVING it. It's officially my new favourite blogg. Anyway, I'll be graduating high school this summer and it's tradition that girls wear a white ensemble however we may have a few hints of other colours, e.g. black. I'm going a for a rock-glam look a little a la Rihanna, but still traditional with the white and a little black. I was wondering if you could give me some pointers. I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks, AnjaThanks for your question! Your studenten, or high school graduation, will
be a day and night of jubilant frivolity...champagne, gifts, laughing and singing to your hearts delight! What a perfect time to live out your rock-glam party girl fantasies. I love the fact that you are thinking seriously about your outfit (you're a girl after my own heart, sugarplum). After all, looking and feeling beautiful is the foundation for a fabulous graduation!Let's start at the top, shall we? Like American graduation caps, Swedish graduates wear a traditional graduation hat, in the form of a much more stylish white sailor-type cap. The studentmössa, as it is called, is actually the perfect accessory for your glam rock look. Glam rock, by the way, is best exemplified by the designs of the Heatherette duo; they have this whole look down to a science.

Heatherette Spring 2008 RTW

Miss Rihanna has totally taken advantage of the ballet-inspired look. As a matter of fact, when you think of Rihanna's star style, how can you not think of a tutu skirt and a cinched waist? Here are just a few of the reasons why:




You can easily duplicate this look in traditional white with black accents. Paris Hilton actually wore an over-the-top version of the look I'm envisioning for you to the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards.

Young, flirty and fun, right? It all starts with the skirt. You can find tulle tutu skirts in vintage stores and at goth or dancewear shops on Ebay. I found these while trolling the Internets:
Romantic Tulle Tutu Starting at: £17.50


Urban Outfitters Racerback Tank $14
Urban Outfitters City Limits Tee $12
...or glammed up with a strapless corset.
White Bustier $45.00
A black belt will pull it all together. Choose a corset style belt to balance out the flounciness of the skirt.

Bebe Black and White Belt $59.00

Linea Pelle Black Belt $97.99
In terms of shoes, you want to wear something you can hop, skip and party all night in. There's nothing worse than having to end a great night early due to a baby toe that's on fire. However, if you are one of the lucky few that can climb mountains in their stillettos, I would wear booties (like both Paris and Alexa demonstrate above). Open-toed summer booties are super chic.


Target Polka Dot Peep Toes $6.24

Go Jane T-Strap Wedge $21.99
So my dear Anja, feel free to take these ideas and make them work for you. You can't go wrong if you trust your own style instincts. Whatever you wear, channel your inner Rihanna and wear it with supreme confidence. I'd love it if you sent me pictures of your day! Good luck, buttercup and have a swig of bubbly for me!
Stay fabulicious,
Elle
