Best Dressed?

I’m always iffy on who would I consider best dressed at award shows. It usually takes a combination of four factors to name a best dressed; style, hair, confidence and overall look. Sunday night I watched the MTV Movie Awards and saw the Hollywood starlets walk down the red carpet showing of what they got. Normally I’m disappointed on the looks because these girls usually don’t even make an effort at these kinds of shows. Let’s just look at Kristen Steward for example; come on we can do better than that even though she was wearing a great Balmain red mini. But this year the girls made the effort and looked amazing! Like Rachel Zoe would say, they shut it down! Like always Blake lively looking amazing, but surprisingly not wearing the usual Chanel or Emilio Pucci, this time around she went for a blue Michael Kors dress with cut pattern on the side. But best dressed went to Emma Stone for really shutting it down in Bottega Veneta, this dress fit the occasion and looked great on her. The hair was flawless; the leather knitted Bottega clutch paired with satin pumps gave her a great overall look. I was pleasantly surprised when she walked the red carpet; I hope she continues to use the same stylist for now on.
