Top 10 MTV Movie Awards 2008 Best Dressed!
Tuesday, 3 June 2008
So the highly anticipated MTV Movie Awards 2008 were held in Los Angeles on Sunday, but who cares about who won the movie awards?! All I care about is who won the best dressed!
At 10 we have Dream Girl Jennifer Hudson, who showed off her voluptuous shape in a sexy, fitted Peter Soronen dress with hot pink platforms and a waist belt. Her time in the SATC movie must have rubbed off on her real life style!
Unfortunately she ruined the look by tackily having her bra hanging out of the dress, otherwise she'd be much higher up my list! I love her chic new bob though!
At 9 is the sultry Megan Fox. Megan wore a pink and grey tu-tu style dress on the red carpet but her choice for the show was much chicer! She chose a white mini dress with gorgeous sparkly silver straps and a detailed open back.
She would have been higher up the list of the dress had been a few inches longer and had she not worn gold shoes. I hate mix and matching metallics!
At 8 is the elegant Anne Hathaway who spiced things up a little from her usual reserved style with a black, leather look, one-shouldered dress by Sophia Kokosalaki. She made the look her own with a sophisticated updo and drop earrings.
Coming in at 7 is one of the only women who didn't wear a dress to the awards, Charlize Theron. The leggy lovely wore skinny cropped black jeans and a cool Proenza Schouler Pre-Fall 2008, silver basque style top, with gladiator style heels by Roger Vivier. Edgy, a bit different and very hot!
In stark contrast at number 6, was Paris Hilton in a very girly prom look. Paris wore a beautiful strapless black and white Betsey Johnson prom dress with lace panels. I love it and I even like her side parted, mid-length hair style.
It's not often I like Paris's style choices so I can only say Benji Madden is having a good affect on her!
At number 5 is another girl whose style I usually hate.......Lindsay Lohan! While I do think her purple Dolce and Gabbana mini dress was a tad too short, it was really cute! And the black waist belt and black peep toes were the perfect, simple accessories.
Making a huge impact at number 4 with her brand new hair cut was The Hills' very own Audrina Patridge! She looks great either way but the fringe is a nice new change and is part of the reason she's so high on my list.
The other reason is figure-hugging, navy blue, v-neck Lloyd Klein dress which looked very sexy teamed with her silver peep toes.
So to the top 3 best fashion looks of the night! At 3 is the newly single Liv Tyler who used bold colour beautifully with a pink, strapless Lanvin dress with a gathered hem and tied waist. She contrasted the pretty look and her cute waves with leopard print Christian Louboutin pumps.
The single life certainly loks good on her!
Just missing out on the top spot, but looking very stylish at number 2, is Katherine McPhee. She wore a very on-trend, colour block, Herve Leger dress.
Herve Leger dresses are known for making hot young starlets look super sexy but Katherine proved that it can also look fashionable and classy. Plus I love her shoes and volumous waves!
So who made it to the top of my list?? Drum roll please............
At number 1 is The Hills leading lady Lauren Conrad! And to make the victory even more great for her, the starlet was wearing a dress from her very own fashion line, The Lauren Conrad Collection!
The silky blue one-shouldered dress hugged her body in all the right places looking very grown-up and glamorous and was knee-length which added that touch of class that I love.
She got all the little details right too! Classic black peep toes, sexy red nail polish, long centre-parted waves and minimal jewellery. I think she looked stunning!
But what do you think of all the ladies and their fashion choices??

No not Eva Longoria (though I'm sure many men would disagree!) - I'm talking about that ice cream! Yummmmmmm.
Pint sized actress Eva is the new face (and voice, if you've seen the advert) of Magnum Mayan Mystica ice cream.
The Desperate Housewife posed at the Villa Magnum in Cannes on Monday to promote her new endorsement, looking very well put together in a strapless ice blue mini dress with flared skirt and fitted bodice, and strappy cream sandals.
The prom style dress is very much back! Many celebs like Geri Halliwell and Agyness Deyn have started wearing the style that was last really popular around 4-5 years ago when I was in my last year of school, and Betsey Johnson's Spring 2008 runway collection featured many prom dresses.

Monday, 4 February 2008
Daniele Donato is the 21 year old waitress from Orange County, California who last year took the Big Brother U.S. house by storm, along with her estranged rocker father “Evel Dick” and formed arguably the most dominant, and certainly most successful, pairing in Big Brother history. Both the fat
her and daughter duo made it to the final (and managed to mend their broken relationship along the way) where a jury of their former housemates crowned Dick the winner.
her and daughter duo made it to the final (and managed to mend their broken relationship along the way) where a jury of their former housemates crowned Dick the winner.However, despite narrowly missing out on the grand prize, Daniele’s intelligence, strength in competitions, fun personality and fabulous sense of style has won her a firm place as one of Big Brother’s most popular house guests ever, particularly amongst fashion conscious female fans!
Being one of those fans, I was lucky enough to get an exclusive interview with the Big Brother beauty about her life, her shopping habits, her sense of style and her plans for the future. She even rummaged through her wardrobe and modelled some of her favourite outfits especially for OMG I Love Her Style!
Laura Jane: Hi Daniele, thanks so much for doing this interview! How are you today?
Daniele: I'm doing quite well. It's raining in Sunny Southern California so I'm loving it.
LJ: So first of all, congratulations on coming second in Big Brother last summer to your Dad! It was quite an achievement and I was rooting for you from day one! What have you been doing with yourself since the show and how have things changed for you?
D: THANK YOU!! It definitely was an experience. I have kinda been just laying low, doing my own thing. I feel as though everything has changed, I came back to a different life pretty much. I am still trying to get back into being normal; basically life is still pretty crazy.
LJ: I can imagine! It sounds pretty fun though! You were definitely something of a fashion icon to many fans of the show, myself included. How did it feel to come out of the house and realise lots of girls loved what you were wearing?!
D: Haha. One of the first things my friends from work said to me was "We're so proud of you, you never wore anything twice." The producers actually informed me that I set the record for packing the most stuff out of all houseguests in 8 years!! I love clothes it is my way of expressing who I am. I am so flattered having all these females telling me how much they love my style, it feels great!
LJ: Wow, packing the most stuff ev
er, that’s quite an achievement! You must be an expert packer! I guess you really love your clothes, so has fashion always been a love of yours?
D: It truly has. Fashion is an art, you express who you are through what you're wearing. I'm that girl that won’t leave the house in sweats…ever! When you look good, you feel good about yourself.
LJ: Very true. So how would you describe your personal style?
D: Eclectic. It depends on what I'm feeling. I usually dress kinda boho/girly/dressy. But I like the beachy look too. I enjoy putting different things together and making new/unique looks. Life is too short to blend in.
LJ: That’s one of my favourite fashion quotes, that I try to live by, said by Paris Hilton! Who would you say are your fashion icons or inspirations?
D: I LOVE Mary-Kate Olsen. I think she is gorgeous and her style is genius! Victoria Beckham…also, obviously...Gwen Stefani, she is pretty much everyone’s fashion goddess. 
LJ: Which are your favourite stores to shop at for clothes and has that changed since you’ve been on Big Brother?!
D: I'm a bargain shopper. Clothes don't have to be expensive to look good and the cheaper they are, the more you can buy…plus I don't like wearing things a million times anyways. So no I still shop the same places as before...Urban Outfitters, Heritage, Forever 21, Macys etc etc…
LJ: A girl after my own heart, I’m definitely a bargain hunter! As for labels, who are your favourite designers or do you prefer to just stick with high-street brands?
D: Like I said, I like to mix it up. When you mix cheap with high end, it makes everything look high end. As designers go…I love Betse
y Johnson... Jay McCarroll. Tons.
LJ: Those are very interesting and bold designers. Do you ever design or modify your own clothes?
D: Modify, yes…design, no. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SEW!! I really want to learn though.
LJ: Me too! I’m actually saving for a sewing machine and a “how to” book. Do you hope to have some kind of career in the fashion industry in the future?
D: My dream job is to be a photo journalist for a fashion magazine. But I would settle for any job for a fashion magazine
LJ: So if any magazine editors out there are reading, get in touch!
It was rumoured that your Dad was going to pay for you to go back to school with his Big Brother prize winnings, is that the case and if so are you considering studying anything in the
fashion or design industries?
D: I do plan on going back to school. I will most likely end up going back for photography once again…but who knows what the future holds.
LJ: Indeed, that’s what makes it exciting! I’m sure you would be a success with whatever you decide to do.
One question I’ve been dying to ask you, being a shopaholic and fashion lover myself; I was so jealous when you, Jessica, Jameka and Amber (three of Daniele’s housemates on Big Brother 8) won the two-minute designer shopping spree in the luxury competition (see video below)! I remember you came out with the most clothes out of all the ladies! How much fun was that and what were some of your favourite items that you managed to get?
D: Oh my goodness it was one of the funnest things I've ever done actually. Haha! The bad part was that I am a very petite girl and so honestly barely anything ended up fitting me
. I have a few shirts and two dresses I love though.
LJ: Feel free to send any of the leftovers my way! Only joking!
Okay, for those out there who love your sense of style, what are your fashion and beauty tips for Spring 2008? What will you be wearing?
D: Less is more! Especially when it comes to face makeup! Don't wear foundation, go with a tinted moisturizer. And with clothes, just because the stores are trying to bring it back, doesn't mean it’s fashion forward. I'm loving bright colours! Stand out & be seen.
LJ: Great advice. Bright colours are definitely in right now.
And finally, I have to ask, as an avid Big Brother fan myself, will you be watching the new Season which is starting February 12th on CBS?
D: Most definitely. It is going to be weir
d watching it after I've "been in their shoes" plus they have a lot to live up to after last season.
LJ: I agree! Last year was one of my favourite seasons. I wonder what this year’s twist will be? Anyway, thank you again for you time Daniele and good luck with all your future projects. Just make sure to keep us updated on what you’re doing!
D: I most definitely will. I am working on a website and that should be up in a few weeks, as well as a few side projects…so I will keep you posted. <3
LJ: Fantastic, I look forward to seeing the new website and good luck with everything else!
So what did you think of Daniele’s interview and fabulous mini fashion show exclusively for OMG I Love Her Style!? I think she looks great whatever she’s wearing but I particularly love her yellow dress with the adorable owl pendant, and her beige shorts with a sexy backless top. She really does have great style doesn’t she?!
Make sure you tune in to watch Big Brother 9 on CBS starting February 12th, and lets hope they have another stylish contestant this year to keep the house looking good!
For those readers outside of the U.S. (or just ones who didn't see last year's Big Brother), check out this brilliant video of Daniele and the other girls in Big Brother 8, beating the boys in the luxury competition and winning loads of fabulous designer clothes!
"I really didn't wanna do it but of course I'm not gonna let my team down and when lots of clothing is at stake, what is a girl to do?!" - Daniele Donato
