The 2015 MTV Movie Awards aired last night, terribly timed to the premiere of Game of Thrones. Judging from the red carpet alone, it really lived up to its reputation as the obnoxious, lazy, basic baby sibling of the awards show family. This year’s red carpet was a little subdued, featuring lame styling—not outright terrible styling, which would have at least been interesting—and very few A-list celebs. What is the MTV Movie Awards red carpet without Zac Efron? Without the cast of the Vampire Diaries? I’m pretty confused.
First up, a lot of dresses working their derndest to cover as little skin as possible. We have Emily Ratajkowski in a bra-dress hybrid by Fausto Puglisi, and Halston Sage in a similar (worse) bra-dress hybrid of a different shade, also by Fausto Puglisi; due to this stunning coincidence, Refinery29 has intuited that this is the “next sexy dress that’ll replace Hervé Léger’s bandage dresses.” That would be unfortunate! Victoria Justice is also serving up Barbie starlet realness, in a horrible sparkly Versace and boring pumps.
Bai Ling! Yessssss. This lovable wackjob cannot resist the lure of a red carpet, and her IRL gusto is almost quaint—bitch has been showing up to awards shows in absurd outfits since way before Instagram even existed, and that is why I know the name of an actress who has never once appeared in a film anyone has heard of. Anyway, Bai Ling is wearing a dragon:
And now, let’s take a moment to admire all the cute dads in the haus:
Sleek, clean lines and color-blocking from Amber Rose, Amy Schumer (in Balmain) and Brittany Snow. I like Brittany’s look overall, but it could be improved with a slightly shorter hemline and a good steam.
The teeny mini trend continues with Charli XCX, Holland Roden and Jennifer Lopez. I’m kind of feeling the colors on Charli’s trench-dress, but Holland’s is too short and very bathroom tile; it’s also clear that some dumb stylist decided she needed a “pop of color” when heels like J.Lo’s would have worked better. And speaking of La Lopez, my god, what a vision. This whole shrunken look is working for me, and from her expression you can tell she’s like, “Yes, hello, I’m literally a goddess, who are these teens?”
