It's the MTV Movie Awards!!!

Much like a lot of MTV specials (such as the VMAs), the MTV Movie Awards have grown to become a tradition to all MTV fans. Serving as an alternative to other award shows, the MTV Movie Awards allows fans to vote for their favorites (instead of an academy or panel like the Oscars and Golden Globes). This sometimes results in unexpected victories such as Wedding Crashers and Transformers winning Best Movie. I don't mean that movies such as these are not worthy of awards, but their content would probably cause the Hollywood Foreign Press to laugh in their faces if they were even on the ballot for the more prestigious award ceremonies.

Anyway, another aspect of the MTV Movie Awards that truly makes it stand out is the no-holds-barred atmosphere. Instead of the usual red carpet, this award show uses the gold carpet, and the celebrities dress accordingly. For example, the common theme of this year's fashion was skin-tight and revealing attire (as usual). Although the stars could truly have wowed everyone with some fantastically hip dresses and shoes, I was actually pretty bored by this year's gold carpet style. It seemed like most of the emphasis was on hair and makeup, and not the actual dresses. For example, Lindsay Lohan had what I consider to be perfect hair and makeup, but her dress was pretty dreadful. It was very unflattering and didn't seem like it fit her at all.



Another example, Megan Fox. Her dress looked like a bad Halloween costume, but her head shot from the event sure is fabulous.

However, there was a bright light at the end of this tunnel...Lauren Conrad. Her dress, hair, makeup, shoes, and jewelry were all simple, yet chic. She wasn't trying too hard to stand out (ahem...Lucy Walsh), which made her look very elegant among her peers, so she actually stood out for good reasons. :0)

Honorable mention goes to Rumer Willis who looked absolutely stunning in a black Hervé Léger. I don't know how old she is, but she looks very mature and sophisticated. She actually looks a little bit like TLC's Kat von Dee.

Just Where Would the World Be Without Kate Moss?

Ms. Katherine Ann Moss, aka Kate Moss, is everyone's favorite bad-girl supermodel. She's the Brit that won't quit. Kate Moss has truly revolutionized the definition of style, while simultaneously making us hate ourselves. How does this little lady accomplish such a feat? That's it--she's little. In fact, Moss made her stamp on the fashion world by popularizing the heroin chic look in the '90s. If you don't recall this fad, it essentially involved being so thin, you looked like you were strung out on heroin, but still looking chic at the same time.

Anyway, Kate was born in London on January 16, 1974...which means she's 34 years old!!! I wanna know her skin care secrets because I'm only 19 and she looks younger than me. Kate was discovered at the ripe age of 14 in an airport and the rest...is history.

Now she's a juggernaut of fashion, one of the highest-paid models in history, and the mother of a 5 year old daughter. Aside from her personal woes (the cocaine scandal), Moss has remained a revolutionary fashion icon because not only has she been on top of just about every best-dressed list, but she's also responsible for beaucoup celebrity fashion trends. The first one being Uggs.

When I first saw these cuddly boots a few years ago, I thought they were wretched. Then (like two seconds later), I fell in love with them. Thank you Kate Moss. Here is the original devotee...and some fabulous copycats (Eva Longoria and Jennifer Aniston).

She also made denim cut-off short shorts pretty famous. Check her out in a $165.00 pair from Siwy Denim.

You could also credit Kate Moss for bringing back the over-the-knee high boot...and I do. Pairing skinny jeans with high boots not only accentuates her waifish body frame, it makes her look taller. Here she is wearing a pair of oh-so-chic Stuart Weitzmans.

$475.00

Last but not least, she made it cool to wair high-waisted jeans.
