When celebrities hit the red carpet at an MTV event, we expect them to slay us with their over-the-top, risque fashions. It might be time for us to start worrying about the next generation if they’re instead going to show up wearing gymnastics leotards and department store lingerie. Some stars met our lofty expectations at the MTV Movie Awards, which aired Sunday evening.
Laura Marano
Sometimes a white dress can be oh so depressing.
Jillian Rose Reed
A successful mullet dress (not that there are many out there) calls for something other than washed out white on the underside of the mullet portion.
Kat Graham
Does the dress really require all those hanging strings? It’s just asking to get caught on something and subsequently unravel.
Gigi Hadid
Gigi wears the same shoes as Charlize, minus all that uncomfortable lace.
Charlize Theron
This amount of lace is just so fussy. And it looks kind of itchy. Do the high-end designers have a magic lace formula that makes it not itchy?
Vanessa Marano
If you hope to pull off this type of romper, you have to really commit to it. And by commit we mean spray it with lots and lots of glitter.
Lilly Singh
We understand what Singh is going for, but this look could double as pajamas or medical scrubs.
Emilia Clarke
Clarke combines a slightly creepy pattern with a classic style, and we wish to be just like her.
Jenna Thomason
Dangerously low necklines are not usually this boring.
Lizzy Caplan
Caplan’s gown is not quite as exciting as Kendall’s but it still achieves the coolness level we expect to see on an MTV red carpet.
Chloe Bridges
There’s nothing wrong with a pink floral pattern, but this look was made for a spring bridal shower.
Farrah Abraham
Farrah is trying hard for Hollywood glamour, but winds up with Hollywood gone wrong.
Kendall Jenner
We imagine it took an entire team of minions to get these shoes on, but the result satisfies our craving for MTV-inspired awesomeness.
Jessica Chastain
Is the Addams Family up for an MTV Movie Award this year? That’s the only reason we can think of for so many serious black gowns.
Grace Helbig
This is only because people who accessorize with ice cream trucks deserve recognition.
