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.

Lindsay Lohan...her life is a trainwreck, but her style is still chic

Lindsay Lohan emerged as a lovable child star in flicks such as The Parent Trap II and Life-Size. These days however, she's become TMZ's favorite accident waiting to happen...literally. It seems like everytime I turn around, she's either stumbling out of a night club with BFF Samanta Ronson, or vowing sobriety the next morning. Either way, j'adore vraiment her style.


Here she is wearing the Signature Lohan Look...grayscale, leggings, leather handbag, and boots. The bag is by Rebecca Minkoff...and it is a beauty.











I've never heard that name before, so I went ahead and did some research on this designer. Turns out, she is not simply a one-hit-wonder. Below are just a few examples of her genius.

Rebecca Minkoff Small Nikki Hobo $600.00
Rebecca Minkoff Matinee $625.00
Rebecca Minkoff Royal Blue Tote $595.00


I did even more research and turns out, Ms. Lohan is not the only celeb with a Minkoff beauty draped on her arm...

Hilary Duff

Hayden Panettiere

Back to Lohan. Another facet to her signature style is eyewear. I can't remember the last time I saw a picture of her without a pair of cooler-than-cool shades. She may be responsible for bringing back the Ray-bans.

And again, she's not the only one...

Ray-Ban Wayfarer $139.00
Rachel Bilson



Lindsay Lohan Leggings. This should be her official title or something. Yet another one of her signatures is the ever-present leggings paired with a leather boot. No matter how often she dons this combo, it never seems to get old. Completely unfair. If I wore leggings even half as much as she does, I would never hear the end of it.



The last, and probably most recognizable facet of the Lindsay Lohan Look is the chameleon-esque transformation. In other words, one day she's a red-head, the next day she has Audrey Hapburn black hair, and the next day she's Miami platinum blonde! She gets to live the best of three worlds! NOT FAIR.








Which do you like best?

The funniest (if not saddest) part about Lindsay Lohan's little shopping habit is that she's going broke!!! MediaTakeOut.com states that Ms. Lohan has nearly spent all of her $30M by shopping it all away! I can't even imagine how someone who dresses so casually (note the leggings-boots-tshirt uniform mentioned above), can spend even 1/3 of that.

Anyway, Lohan is now reportedly on a $1,000 a day budget. She is often seen putting dresses, bags, etc. on hold and waiting until the next day to purchase them in order to stick to this budget. $1,000/day is pretty staggering to us average non-celebrities since it equals out to $365,000 a year...on clothes! I would consider that a pretty handsome salary, but I guess when you're used to wearing $2,000 Chanel handbags, I suppose this budget could take some getting used to. After all, Britney Spears is known to spend over $16,000 a month to ensure that she doesn't wear the same thing twice.
