The statements made by celebrities at this award show might be more casual than a black tie event, but they are no less fashion forward. In fact, we would argue they might be even more so. This is when celebrities, especially the much-buzzed-about newcomers, bust out bright colors, unconventional cuts, and the outfits they wouldn’t put together for the winter award shows. Kiernan Shipka, Lana Condor, Lizzo, and Finn Wolfhard all stepped onto the red carpet with trend-worthy ensembles worthy of a catwalk. After all, you wouldn’t see Elisabeth Moss sporting a snake over half her dress as the Oscars.
This is one of the few awards shows where you will see a mega-budget superhero film nominated in the same category as a viral Netflix original. Where else would you have nominee categories like Best Villain alongside Most Meme-able Moment? The MTV Movie & TV Awards are unexpected and playful, just like the red carpet looks attendees wear to it.Click through to see some of our favorite red carpet looks from this year’s MTV Movie & TV Awards.
