Macklemore & Ryan Lewis just hit the 2013 MTV Movie Awards stage for an expectedly ROUSING performance of their new single, "Can't Hold Us," and welp, it looks like our performance outfit predictions were only kind of wrong (or right, if you're one of those glass-half-full types). We may have most heavily bet on the Seattle MC wearing a full-bodied fur coat, but we DID still forecast a 25% chance of fringe. And fringe there most certainly was. It wasn't rendered in the sueded leather per usual but instead as regal golden rope all along the shoulders and hemline of Mack's cobalt red carpet cape with a LOUCHE patterned lining made by friend Logan Neitzel. This was just the start of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' self-described "modern matador" performance steez.

5 Things We Learned From A$AP Rocky's 'The Coveteur' Closet Feature

As soon as you've broken the trance of A$AP Rocky's half-smile, we have serious FASHUN business to discuss. Evidence abounds that this Harlem-native is a bonafide fashion killa, and yet, with every new interview or, you know, transcribed phone call with Alexander Wang, we feel like we're learning SO MUCH about Pretty Flacko's sartorial philosophy. Honestly, a lot of the time he's dropping historical knowledge and sage style advice. It's fascinating. The Coveteur recently caught up with Rocky while on Rihanna's Diamonds World Tour in Toronto.

Earlier this week, a beauty-focused interview excerpt circulated wherein Dat PMF divulges priceless information about daily exfoliating, cleansing his face with Witch Hazel, his hair care regime, and his opinions on ladies wearing makeup. As if that wasn't illuminating enough, Coveteur has just dropped ROCKY'S FULL CLOSET FEATURE. There are Kenzo flat brims on cutting boards. There are Goyard bags on wardrobes. Best of all, though, there's another highly informative interview. Highlights include Rocky's casual mention of Alessandro Dell'Acqua amidst Dolce & Gabbana and Christian Dior without dropping a beat, and these are the five things we learned.

Joe Jonas' Video Response To Fan's Formal Invitation: Look By Look

Posted 4/11/13 12:52 pm EST by Gaby Wilson in Dudes

Around these parts of the world wide web, we've been die-hard devotees of Joe Jonas ever since we first laid eyes on those exemplary eyebrows in the Jonas Brothers' "Burnin' Up" music video. We've watched him blossom into a bonafide fashion force, Heisman-ing in shiny pants for campaigns and totally FROWING (hat tip to Buzz Bissinger). If all this hasn't pulled you into the warm vortex of middle Jo Bro fandom, perhaps this video Joe made in response to Pepperdine University senior Shaina's invitation to be her date for her very last sorority formal will convert you. It. Is. AWESOME. While we typically reserve our beloved Look By Look franchise for music videos, this short is just too hilarious not to share. Lucky for us, Joe also crams five outfit-changes into a little under 2.5 minutes, fully warranting a comprehensive breakdown.

FIRESIDE TALLADEGA NIGHTS

We've re-watched this video response at least eight times now and still can't make sense of why Joe opens this thing wearing Will Ferrell's Wonder Bread racing jumpsuit from Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, but that's what he's doing. Joe sports the NASCAR suiting (taking a page from Bieber's book?) while laying on his side in front of a digital fireplace for absolutely no reason other than the fact that it's hilariously irreverent. Are you hooked yet?

Etsy Prom Dresses: Because High School Isn't Hard Enough Already

Posted 4/10/13 5:34 pm EST by Gaby Wilson in Let's Discuss, Prom

Hey guys!! *waves from within a thicket of sequins and tulle* How is prom season treating you? Well, I hope. Here at MTV Style, we've made it our mission to supply you with a comprehensive guide to THE school dance of all school dances, from prom dresses on the über-cheap to celeb-worthy hairstyles and even a few fashion tips for dudes. It's been pretty standard fare for the most part—pastel, sparkle, pretty little things. That is, until now. Brace yourselves, people. I'm about to steer our prom coverage into the weird and wonderful world of ETSY!

Before we dive all the way in, a little disclaimer: this is a post wherein I am going to show you things I found on Etsy, and we all pretend together about what it would be like if someone hypothetically wore them to prom. Am I suggesting you yourself wear these dresses? No. Am I suggesting you avoid these dresses and any other permutation of each ensemble's general idea? Interestingly enough, also, no. Being that THIS is what I wore to my own prom (in high school, I was really into classics, translation: ZZZzzzzzzz), I'm probably the last person who should be telling anyone to wear a burger dress to any place. That said, if you have the lady cojones to hit the dance floor in "two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun," then by all means, please do it. And send us pics. Now, let's go!

BURGER QUEEN > PROM QUEEN

Would you dare to wear a hamburger dress to prom?

At its core, this is a midi dress featuring a full skirt with multi-colored tiers. It just so happens that the order of those colors and tiers markedly resemble a cheeseburger. Actually, no, that was the entire aim of this Burger Queen dress. Plus, this thing has eyes and menacing eyebrows, making it not just a burger but a burger monster. Genius. We should warn you, though, this retails at the meaty price of $225.00, so you best be serious.

Their latest task? It's called "Operation: Host Beauty Training", and Mr. Josh Horowitz is in the hot seat again.

Demi Lovato's 'Heart Attack' Music Video: Look By Look

We don't know about you, but we just might be on the brink of breaking the replay button on Demi Lovato's brand spankin' new music video for "Heart Attack." Since the clip's exclusive premiere with E! News yesterday afternoon, we haven't been able to get enough! From the direction's interplay of dark and light to Demi's seamless oscillation between fresh-faced and smoky-eyed, the video for the Demi album's first single shows D in handful wildly divergent (and arguably more grown-up) looks. Naturally, having vigilantly played this thing to point where our index fingers are withering and about to crack off, we feel it's our duty that we break down Demi's every sartorial (and beauty!) move for you before we physically can't type anymore. Here we go!

You guys. A thing happened. More specifically, Selena Gomez tweeted this picture of herself serving duck face (yes, again) wearing a pair of clear glasses, and now, we can't stop daydreaming about clear accessories. I know what you're thinking, "You guys should really maybe take a break from stalking celebrities' Twitter accounts and over-analyzing their wardrobes." Oh, and also, "aren't all glasses clear?" Well, to your first comment, I extend a cordial head nod but shrug off your unsolicited advice because helloooo, that's our bread and butter, YA HEARD?!?? As far as your question, let me clarify. Not only are the 2013 MTV Movie Awards performer's lenses clear, her frames are, too!

13 Short Prom Dresses For Every Style

Posted 4/9/13 3:26 pm EST by Gaby Wilson in Prom, Shopping

Sure, the automatic mental picture of a perfect prom dress is something sparkling, dramatic, and almost definitely floor-skimming. But that doesn't mean the only good looks are the long ones! If you're going for head-turning and statement-making come prom night, a SHORT dress just might be the kind of curve ball steez you're looking for. The best part? Short prom dresses are arguably way better investments than their longer counterparts thanks to their re-wearability (that is, if sentimentality doesn't have you putting the look on ice for a few decades). Also, they're so much easier to dance in! If you're thinking about a truncated prom dress, but aren't sure where to start, we rounded up some of our favorite options in a grip of styles.

CROPPED CLASSICS

A short hemline doesn't mean you have to sacrifice the princess-factor of your prom dress, and nothing says all that quite like pastels in classic ladylike cuts. With a shorter dress, you can afford to have a bigger, fuller skirt like this pink lace number ($157.94). If spatial subtlety is more your thing, take advantage of the leg-baring steez with a really interesting lace detail at the hem like this Whistles dress ($324.19). Pair it with lucite heels to keep it looking modern and fashion-forward. We're obsessed with this COMPLETELY embellished midi dress ($79.80) because its high neckline keeps the look very covered-up in the front, but turn it around and those waist cut-outs lead to a wide open back. This is definitely a dress for a messier updo. If total-ensemble embellishment seems too heavy for you, you can always keep it isolated to the top and leave the skirt free and floaty like this pale yellow skater silhouette from Topshop ($280.00).

Justin Bieber Brings Back Signature 'Hair Flip'

Whoawhoawhoawhoa. Beliebers, are you all still standing?? In case you missed it, the biggest tonsorial watercooler talk of the moment is the fact that this weekend Justin Bieber brought back the hair flip look that became such a signature for him during the "Baby" years. Rather than the forehead-baring pompadours he adopted for his foray into adulthood, Biebs let his hair down this past Friday, sweeping it across his dome for a meet and greet in Dortmund, Germany. Truth be told, between all the flat brim hats and gas masks, we haven't seen much of Justin's hair in the wild (save the occasional "morning hair" selfie), so any snap of the dude's IRL mane is going to send us (and all his fans) into a bit of frenzy. What makes this an especially buzzworthy topic is the latent Miley hair-ness of this updated 2013 "hair flip."

Spring has officially sprung in New York (UGH, FINALLY), and on top of light-weight sneaker weather, prom mania, and festival fever, the rising mercury is a cue for the onslaught of WEDDING SEASON. That means bridesmaid dresses, coordinated accessories, and family-appropriate party togs for guests, and Nordstrom wants to make sure you think of them for all your wedding-time needs. The major retailer has even enlisted the help of two of the hottest dudes in music, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, for a little campaign video help.
