2007 MTV Movie Awards — Red Carpet Luxe and Suxe Summary

It was a colorful party. Mostly luxe looks to my satisfaction. Here was the best and the worst of the Red Carpet roll at the 2007 MTV Movie Awards…

What was Luxe

Mtv_movie_awards_arielle_kebbel

Arielle Kebbel — perfect!

Mtv_movie_awards_alex_vega

Alex Vega — I’m really into sexy back so I’ll overlook these shoes.

Mtv_movie_awards_rihanna

Nay on Rihanna’s hair but I love the unique pattern of this floor length dress. It suits her style perfectly for a Red Carpet look.

Mtv_movie_awards_lauren_conrad

Lauren Conrad — her hair is perfect with this dress.. again overlooking the shoes.

Mtv_movie_awards_jessica_alba2

Mtv_movie_awards_jessica_alba

I’m a little disappointed with Jessica Alba’s outfit since she normally knocks it out but she still looks good as usual. Again, what’s is wrong with everyone’s shoe selections??

 

Mtv_movie_awards_paris_hilton

This looks like a classic BCBG dress… Paris’ shoes did it for me though. Classic, safe…

 

Mtv_movie_awards_debbie_matenopoulo

Debbie Matenopoulos — Grecian Goddess of the Red Carpet.

Mtv_movie_awards_ashley_tisdale

Ashley Tisdale — Barbie doll but cute.

Aj_michalka_aly_michalaka

Aly and AJ — Fun I guess.

What was Suxe

Mtv_movie_awards_eva_medes

Little Eva Mendes on the Prairie.. then she grabs her big ‘ole luxury handbag.

Mtv_movie_awards_jessica_biel

I cease to be amazed.

Mtv_movie_awards_vanessa_hudgens

Vanessa Hudgens — this dress is ok but why the Red Carpet?.. her hair is gorgeous though!


Somewhere in between

Mtv_movie_awards_cameron_diaz

Too safe with legs like that. I suppose the legs are the centerpiece..

Mtv_movie_awards_victoria_beckham2

Maybe it’s her pose, maybe it was how she just blends into the backdrop
– how unfortunate is that?, or maybe it’s just the fredericks of
hollywood feel of the dress… Victoria normally looks posh to me but
all I’m feeling on her are those pretty little silver points.

Mtv_movie_awards_amanda_bynes

This look screams overage seductress.

 

 

 

 

MTV Australia Video Music Awards 2007 – The Arrivals

I’m playing with Slide, a photo slide show creator. Let me know what you think.

I’ve collected some photos from the MTV Australia Video Music Awards, mostly people I thought looked good/interesting… You’ll notice the papz are even shooting the guests these days! That’s great. Some of the guests are lookin better than the celebs. Shame on you stars.

Korean Celebrities on the Red Carpet!

Korean actors and actresses sure know how to get dolled up… but these brothers and sisters need to learn how to work that Red Carpet.  I’m going to have to send word back to Korea to work on that Red Carpet pose and wave.

In any case, how excited was I when I found these photos in Wireimage?

All in all sexy legs and backs were big. White/ light hues also were a dominant theme. Here’s the best and the worst of it.

43rd Annula Paek Sang Art Awards — The Arrivals

Lee Jung-Ah

Paek_sang_lee_jung_ah

The tiered dress is going strong… I luve it. They are comfy comfy and are awesome for covering the post-dinner pot bellies.

Paek_sang_lee_jung_ah_5

Han Ye-Sul

Paek_sung_han_ye_sul

Too much white for me here but still look nice. She should have gone with some gold open toe stilettos or peep toes for a more appropriate Red Carpet Look. She looks like she’s having a good time though! Definitely the most natural looking out of them all.

Son Ye-Jin

Paek_sang_son_ye_jin3

Nice hue and I like  the draped effect of the dress.

Yum Jung-Ah

Paek_sang_yum_jung_ah

This is a nice take on a snakeskin print.

Park Si-Yeon

Paek_sang_park_si_yeon

I can’t quite tell but Si-Yeon’s hair is either way LUXE  or really SUXE.  You be the judge. The back of her gown is very flattering. I would love a dress like this!

The Men

Women across the world… Here they are!

Lee Jun-Ki

— They don’t come any prettier than this.

Paek_sang_lee_jun_ki

Kim Ju-Hyuk

— If you haven’t seen it yet… "Love Me Not".

Paek_sang_kim_ju_hyuk

Lee Byung-Hyun

Paek_sang_lee_byung_hun

 

And finally… Fashion Victim of the Night


You In-Young

Paek_sang_you_in_young_2

In-Young-shi… did you check in the mirror before you walked out the door? Didn’t your friend tell you that the attack of the scissors look was never in? Last time I check in Korea this was the case as well.

 

Perfect Stranger Premiere Arrivals: Fashion Luxe or Suxe

April 10 was the premiere for "Perfect Stranger". Halle Berry… gurl is lookin’ good. I’d like to age reversely too!

Halle_berry_perfect_stranger_premie

Halle Berry — Luxe

Berry Berry good. I am feelin’ the dress, with the shoes, with the backdrop. That takes some coordination. Check out how her heel insets match the red carpet and text behind her. The dress has a unique neckline, not just a standard whatever you call that neck but I love how the two straps connect into a Y. Y Strap?

Clea_lewis_perfect_stranger_premier

Clea Lewis — Suxe

Clea, you look lost. Were you on your way to church or to a gathering of home dressmakers. Well I must hand it to you — you do match the red carpet too!

Christy_turlington

Christy Turlington — Luxe

This barely qualifies because I’d NEVER pick out that top for myself. But Christy has her Outfit Composition down. I love that she was a little daring with those ankle boots and black opaque tights. The thin black sash was a must in order to "tie" the look together. And her lacy somethin’ somethin’  peeking out from under her demure tunic is deceptively innocent. She also picked the perfect hairstyle to complement this frilly girly outfit — clean, straight, simple.

Julia_stiles_perfect_stranger_premi

Julia Stiles — Suxe

Julia Hoolia! What were you thinking? You should have saved this for Easter. This dress is for women twice your age… or at least NOT the red carpet. I also am not feelin’ the Amish pumps to further frump this look out.

Adriana_lima_perfect_stranger_premi

Adriana Lima — Suxe

This look is playboy bunny-esque and I’m hoping that’s not what Adriana was going for. If she was well good job gurl!

So overall… I am un-enthused about the style factor here at the Perfect Stranger Premiere other than the featured star Halle herself. Maybe that’s the cardinal unspoken rule. Do not look better than the star. I can live with that!

Who's the Luxe Mix?

I wouldn't qualify myself as anything official when it comes to fashion but I might officially qualify as a shopaholic. To keep from going broke I have learned to mix the luxe with the less, the cheap with the chic. I'm a technology junkie in addition to being hopelessly fashion obsessed so while I am a corporate UX designer by day, by night I am an obsessively compulsively working up visions of a splendid online fashion retail nirvana. Contact me if you want my input on how to transform your fashion house into a mass-tech-revolutionized business.
