MTV Movie Awards 2010

I aim to celebrate fashion through my blogging comentary, featuring what, in my opinion, are the best looks, the most stylish and inspirational. Sometimes, however, it's hard to be complementary and all too easy to be critical.

Sunday night's MTV Movie Awards saw more style shockers than I care to recall, with Katy Perry leading the way as a repeat offender. In order to save the best 'til last, I inevitably have to start with the worst...

Zuhair Murad dress with Rock & Republic heels.

Hmmm, I've seen transparent mesh 'decorated' with strategically placed crystals before. Britney Spears wore something strikingly similar in her Toxic video...word of advice to Katy Perry; take fashion tips from Britney and you will end up with a truly toxic look. Regarding the blue wig - words fail me.

Dress by Herve Leger, shoes as before

Dress by Atelier Versace, platform pumps by YSL

It puzzles me as to why Christina Aguilera still insists on relentlessly championing the hair and make up of a 50s sex siren. It isn't new or surprising anymore, it's standard and what is expected from Xtina (cringe). The bandage style top with oversized chain straps is all a bit Jodie Marsh, and the bottom half weirdly reminds me of the body of a blackbird, all shiny feathered and oily looking. Far too try-hard and far too tacky when paired with a peroxide quiff and stripper heels.

Dress by Dolce & Gabbana

I don't want to jump on the bandwagon and become yet another one of Kristen Stewart's very harsh critics, but when you are a star of cult classic movies, and have access to the world's greatest stylists, I think you should use them.

Pamela Roland jumpsuit

Lindsay Lohan; always cheap, never chic.

Now for the best part, providing the perfect remedy for the above...

Dress by Giambattista Valli

Looking fresh and demure, Jessica Biel proves you don't have to let it all hang out in order to get noticed.

Jessica Alba looks super cool in sheer, sparkling leggings and a sports inspired dress, by British designer Louise Goldin.

Whitney gets it just right, as usual, setting off her golden tan in zesty lemon and nude body-con. Gold accessories add the perfect dose of glamour...check out the shoes!!!

I've spotted Amanda Seyfried out and about in a whole host of super stylish outfits recently. Definitely one to watch I think...

Belles of the Ball

Last night, whilst the rest of us prepared for the working week ahead, in our pyjamas with a cup of tea perhaps, the fashion elite slipped into their couture and cracked open the Cristal for the annual Costume Institute Gala. Co-hosted by Anna Wintour (who wore SS08 Chanel couture btw) and held at Manhattan's Metropolitan Museum of Art, the glittering event gave the brightest style-stars yet another chance to shine. And my ten best dressed dolls are (in no particular order, because that would just be too hard)...

Jessica Szohr's caramel complexion carried off this nude silk tulle and black lace gown to perfection. Long, lean limbs were a key feature for both Gossip Girls, as Jessica's halterneck Atelier Versace number showcased her arms in the same way Blake's dress accentuated her 'look-at-me' legs. Sapphire blue Marchesa ensured Blake Lively sparkled amongst a sea of neutral tones.

Since nude is the new black, for SS10 at least, it was hardly surpising that a few celebs opted for this on-trend theme. Gwen Stefani paired a whispy, champagne sheath dress from her L.A.M.B. line with the usual dramatic red lips and smoky eyes. Contrastingly, Sarah Jessica Parker took an altogether more natural approach, styling her Halston gown (yes, another one!) with perfectly polished skin and a Carrie-style corsage...lovely!

Proenza Schouler catapulted Chloe Sevigny even further up the style charts, with this teal tutu dress. Amazing, with understated hair and make-up and chunky shoes by the same label.

Zoe Saldana appeared elegant and sophisticated in figure a hugging Calvin Klein creation. Proving less is most definitely more, accessories were kept to a minimum with nothing more than an oversized cuff and mirrored clutch. Although, more was, well, more, in the case in Jennifer Lopez who chose to work old school Hollywood glamour in icey blue Zuhair Murad with similarly stunning results.

Next up...best dressed couples!

Marking their first public appearance together since Jude's affair with the nanny (oh, and not forgetting having a baby with an unknown 'model') this was the occassion for Sienna to dress to impress like never before. The plunging neckline and graduated hem of her Emilio Pucci dress ensured Sienna looked quirky but classic, and although I hate to say this, she did have the best accessory of the night! No need to look so smug, Jude...

Diane Kruger and Josh Hartnet were another impecably dressed duo. Proving frou-frou frills, embellishment and glitz aren't the only way to achieve glamour, Kruger's Calvin Klein floor-sweeper is one of my firm favourites. Clean lines and crisp white appear modern and polished amongst fussier silhouetes.

And finally, although not the best look of the night, Gisele proved that supermodels really do look good in a bin liner (a shredded, Alexander Wang bin liner.)
