The Good, the Bad and the Fugly
The MTV Movie Awards went down last night in L.A., bringing with it all the whacked-out fashion we've come to expect from such all-ages awards shows. With only a few exceptions, the ladies of the evening stuck with super short frocks and sky-high statement heels, to mixed effect, leaving the guys to make the major style statements — from the Jersey Shore cast's shockingly outdated suburban style to Russell Brand's chest hair-heavy rocker look.
Below, a rundown of Style Section L.A.'s picks and pans from the evening:
MOST LIKELY TO HAVE TROUBLE SITTING DOWN
Kristen Stewart is a gorgeous, willow-thin lassie, but this metallic ensemble should have been worn in a size up to avoid all that bunching. Still, A- for effort, Bella.
MOST LIKELY TO BE SIGNED AS SPOKESMEN FOR DEP HAIR GEL
Ah, the Jersey Shore boys. Representin' True Religion, Ed Hardy and dumb aggro hand gestures.
MOST LIKELY TO NEVER CULTIVATE HER OWN PERSONAL STYLE
Katy Perry popped onto the scene wearing Pin-up Girl '50s fashion (so cute!), but since then, she's been all over the place stylistically. And though we applaud her daring, you know it's desperate times when you opt for the Marge Simpson look.
MOST LIKELY TO SHOW UP IN A CLASSIC
ScarJo doesn't care if it's MTV — she's not going to don some sorry jeans-clad look. The classic, va-voom shape of this grass-green cocktail dress will never let her down.
MOST LIKELY TO SUCK YOUR BLOOD
We love Johnny Weir's increasingly whacky style — especially when it mixes Vampire Lestat-style puffery with Velvet Goldmine pomp. Totally nuts? Yup. But never boring.
CUTEST COUPLE
The polish and preppy perfection of Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Effron is undeniable. They could very well be genetically engineered automatrons.
MOST LIKELY TO SKEEZE US OUT WITH HER VERY PRESENCE
Lindsay Lohan made an appearance in a Jerry Hall-esque sequined jumpsuit that somehow doesn't skim her curvy proportions correctly (perhaps a Wonder Woman belt would have pulled it all together?)
MOST LIKELY TO WEAR A TRASH BAG
Christina Aguilera decided to work the shredded-Glad-Bags look. No doubt her stylist flagged it as a "show stopper."
MOST LIKELY TO BELIEVE HIS OWN HYPE
Just because you play a rock star on TV, doesn't mean you are one, Russell Brand. We can get with the ensemble from the waist up (we'll even give you a pass on the chest hair), but the shimmery pants and crocodile boots do not have our support.
WORST DRESSED
We don't know who the lovely Katherine Graham is, but we must ding her for this unfortunate outfit, which mixes space alien with marshmallow-y tragicnesss.
MOST LIKELY TO CHANNEL SLASH FROM GUNS 'N ROSES
What is the situation with the heavy metal 80s jacket, P. Diddy? You're not in Paradise City anymore...
BEST DRESSED
This is the little know-it-all girl from School of Rock! All grown up, she's turning it out in this flirty, rusty-colored confection. Perfection.
