Look, we don't usually do this because we're way into sampling all of the delicious sparkly wonders the week has to offer, but this edition of the Shoe Update is all MTV Movie Awards. While we're well aware that this cozies close to the slimy world of shameless self-promotion, we just can't help it if the ladies TURNED IT OUT at our event. Sorry we're not sorry. The pics don't lie! We sifted through dozens of pretty platforms, stilettos, wedges (side note: OMNOMNOM), but three ladies stood heels and ankles above the rest (LOLOLOL SHOE PUNZ FTW!): Amanda Bynes, Elle Fanning, and Nicki Minaj.

Movie Awards 2011: The Best Nail Trends Of The Night, From Heavy Metals To Bright Whites

Posted 6/7/11 1:46 pm ET by Gaby Wilson in Beauty, MTV Movie Awards

You've now washed out the hair spray, wiped off the makeup, and sent the dress to the dry cleaners, but still one relic from the MTV Movie Awards night will keep on keepin' on for at least a few more days: the manicure (YUSSS!). The ladies of Sunday night's Movie Awards had their nail game turned ON for summer and really showed us how it's DONE. Bold, bright, and eye-catching are key to having red carpet-worthy nails, 'specially when the heat has risen.

HEAVY METALS

Whether you're into going full-on, glammed-out rhinestone almond nails like pint-size rap princess Lil Mama or favor a subtler take à la Lily Collins, metallics are a BIG WIN for the summer months. Not only as a practical measure (umm, duh, if you're not reflecting the light, you're absorbing it), but a quick swipe of your metal of choice is a great way to add a healthy dose of flash to your outfit without layering on heavy bulky hardware.

Movie Awards 2011: Best Red Carpet Beauty Trends

Posted 6/6/11 4:26 pm ET by Leila Brillson in Beauty, Ladies, MTV Movie Awards, Red Carpet

Unofficial announcement made on the red carpet at the MTV Movie Awards last night: the summer of femme has begun. Sure, we've spotted some pretty graphic pops of color recently, but leaving your vampy red lipstick and black liquid liner in March gives way to a clean, fresh vibe that is ready to pull up a beach towel, slather on some sunblock, and seriously apply some (waterproof) mascara.

Sea-salt-kissed hair stormed the carpet, and while Blake Lively and Mila Kunis opted for sleek and straight, the majority of the ladies opted for texture, waves, and very loose and effortless curls. With a rich, summery blonde, Katie Cassidy reminds us that "day after" hair is always better, especially with those just-right roots peaking out. While she has a healthy glow and a bit of gold shadow to warm her up, she let's her eyes peak out and draw us in, choosing a nice nude lip. White dress, blonde hair, pale lipstick could be a wash out, but the hair is textured and a healthy dose of mascara keep us captivated in the eye region.

Taking a very similar approach is one of our favorite looks of the night—the perfectly assembled Selena Gomez, who used the wavy hair/statement eyes combo, but whose dark color adds a bit o'drama. Yet the girl whose coif we must covet this summer is our very own Leighton Meester, who rocks the ombre trend with her thick-as-a-rope locks which have more volume than control. With a healthy dose of blush and simple lined eyes, she lets her lips go low-key—which leaves the realm of flirty and goes full throttle into the delightfully coy. (To add this sort of rough texture to your hair, using a sea salt spray-in after your hair is styled does the trick.)

We could go for the layup and mention that Bryce Dallas Howard's pregnancy has given her a natural glow, and sure, that might be true, but her complexion has always been peaches and cream. The red hair has always been her thing (except when Kirsten went red and Bryce went blonde for Spiderman...), and because it is so striking, she lets it fall loosely around her shoulders and relies on her GORGEOUS green eyes. She may not even be wearing lipstick; all BDH requires is a light gloss. But the girl who did au natural with such joie de vivre is newcomer Lily Collins. Her eyebrows deserve a golden popcorn just for existing (Like Hailee's too!), but instead of doing an ornate updo, she just lets loose and allows her rich tendrils to shine. Just a little liner and a nude lip, and she bypasses the inner-outer eyeliner overdose that simply won't die. Once again the nude lip and flowing hair keeps us focused in all the lovely places.

Movie Awards 2011: Lily Collins, Lil Mama, And Nicki Minaj Rock The Best Accessories

Posted 6/6/11 4:22 pm ET by Mary H.K. Choi in Accessories, MTV Movie Awards, Red Carpet

Clutches, rings, and cuffs ruled the night and the multiple metallic surfaces sent our magpie-like covetous brains spinning. And scheming. From cunning little hard-case purses to mercury-shiny asymmetrical cuffs to bracelets that appeared to be made from boiled and spun sugar, there wasn't an accessory that we didn't mentally audition with our wardrobe at home. Let's take a closer look and really allow the envy to take hold and darken our hearts before dropping serious paper on some of these choice, outfit-making accent pieces.

NICKI MINAJ

While we personally would've loved a simple tank paired with Nicki's amazing, ultra-'80s, black-and-gold-hardware ensemble, we're uncompromised in our love and admiration of all that gleaming metal. From the bright buckles of her waistcoat to the enormous gauntlet of bracelets, we loved the deep, inverted, dramatic V of her gold 4.3.2.1 Necklace by TomTom Jewelry that's held aloft seemingly by her impressive décolletage and set off by the badassery of her matching gold Crystal Chunk Knucklebuster Ring by Luv AJ.

Movie Awards 2011: Taylor Lautner, Tom Felton, And Ryan Gosling Plus More Hot Dude Style

Posted 6/6/11 2:41 pm ET by Leila Brillson in Dudes, MTV Movie Awards, Red Carpet

Girls are fantastic and they smell lovely and whatnot, but when a supremely well-dressed, handsome dude takes the stage, there's nothing like a good long ogle. As soon as we see Blake Lively or Emma Stone hit the carpet we are sent fluttering about looking for dress names or designers or what shoes we would wear when we steal her style, but guys like Ryan Reynolds just freeze us, point blank, like our brains have been removed from our heads and set in jars on our bedside tables. Here are the seven dudes that kept us transfixed—with both their dead-on clothing choices and the amazing genetic eye candy with which they've blessed us.

ANDREW GARFIELD

Andrew Garfield's buttons are really what we are here to talk about. The Social Network star has been charming us left and right with his sweet geeky looks and affable, self-deprecating charm, but then he steps out adorned with these perfectly tarnished little cherries on top of an already adorable maritime ensemble and kills us. Oh, AND yes, he wore navy blue and black and successfully because THIS is how your dress pants should fit.

Nothing quite says, "Summer's Here" like a perfectly fitted crisp white dress. Ashley Bell, Emma Watson, and Katie Cassidy all sported summery ensembles that popped on the MTV Movie Awards red carpet without looking like brides-to-be. Each gorgeous lady kept their accessories minimal and let their intricate gowns do ALL the talking.

The Last Exorcism star and Best Scared-As-S**t Performance nominee Ashley Bell opted for a lace overlay Club Monaco dress with an incredibly flattering sweetheart neckline and soft pleats, which oozed youthful gorgeousness. She swept her hair up in a loose side chignon to show off her to-die-for décolletage and accessorized with white and gold drop earrings, gold bangles, and a gold ring. The best part? Her SHOES!! Her beige satin platform peep-toe ankle-strap pumps give us juuuust a hint of sexy in her sweet ensemble, which we LOVE.

Movie Awards 2011: Magic Crystals! Lil' Mama, Brooklyn Decker and Leighton Put On The Ritz

Like red carpet disco balls, these gals didn't just wear sequins: They wore metallic-colored, glitter-shard-coated frocks that seemed simply rolled in all of the amazing things that make an event like this fantastic. Gold flecks, crystal bits, and confetti-like details appeared en mass last night at the MTV Movie Awards, and these ladies quite literally put on the ritz and it actually looked quite lovely.

Young Ashley Benson from the fairly addicting "Pretty Little Liars" rocked a Matthew Williamson with sequin embellishments in a warm copper, showing that metallics can be done without getting all shiny. Then Lil' Mama, who looked like she played "Katamari" in dark crystals with some bangin' accessories, took the shiny shard trend to the edgy extreme in a black encrusted strapless by Sherri Hill (please note: the killer cuff doesn't look overdone because everything else of hers is perfectly straight and to the point). As if sequins and bling wasn't glamorous enough, Miss Shay Mitchell (also of "Pretty Little Liars") came through with a sleeveless minidress in a shiny, textured body-con cut. She scores in a traditional shape with an intricate pattern.

Movie Awards 2011: Selena Gomez And Justin Bieber Shine On Their Own

Come on, internet. Let's bring it in for a collective groan expressing our extreme visceral dissatisfaction that there were a grand total of ZERO cutesy coupley moments at the 2011 Movie Awards between the cutesiest couple this side of the equator: Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber (Selieber? Bielena? Hello, interwebz, can I get an official name?). *unintelligible chorus of ughghgghhgghhs* How can you give us a juicy moment like that Billboard Music Awards kiss, and then not even a friggin' PICTURE together at the Movie Awards?! Really?? I guess it kind of makes sense since their outfits, though both separate gems, definitely do NOT complement one another. The Biebs looked edgy and cool in crisp colors, dark shades, and bold accessories (note: earrings. WHAT!), while Selena went soft and sweet with pastels and dainty feminine details. She turned heads in a gorgeous Giambattisa Valli look, but it would have totally clashed with Bieber's fashion-forward cobalt-and-white jacket/pants/sneaks number.

Let's face it, people. The 2011 MTV Movie Awards was baaaaasically a Twilight fan's wet dream. (No seriously, they swept the show with a bajillion awards.) But you know what? We NEVER, EVER got tired of seeing Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson continually returning to the stage for their gracious thank yous and acceptance speeches because DAAAAAY-UM. They look RAD. And when they stand next to each other all awkwardly, they look the BEST. Because, duh, they are together, and BELLA AND EDWARD BELONG TOGETHER FOREVER AND ALWAYS.

Movie Awards 2011: From Emma to Kristen, Our Top 10 Looks Of The Night

Posted 6/6/11 4:03 am ET by MTV Style in MTV Movie Awards, Red Carpet

The 2011 MTV Movie Awards is behind us but all that means is that's it's time to saunter down (very recent) memory lane to muse and mull over our favorite looks of the night. Sure Twilight swept the awards and dominated the Red Carpet but our picks for the favorite were a little more diverse. Running the gamut from "Easy A"'s Emma Stone to Chanel muse Blake Lively, the ensembles boasted trends that were varied and inspired so with no further ado, here are our favorites.

LEIGHTON MEESTER:

Leighton Meester's art-deco-gone-disco-ball not only flaunted the mirrored shard trend but a second trend of a shortshort cocktail length juxtaposed by long sleeves. Plus, a deep, dark tan and lighter hair set off the dramatic reflections exquisitely.

REESE WITHERSPOON:

Oh man, if Reese Witherspoon didn't wail on R. Pattz for his flubbed lines in the show (good natured ribbing of course. Ever the consummate professional, Reese brings flawless effortlessness in a juuuuust about knee-length, ultra fitted, Zac Posen leopard-print aqua and brown dress. The subtle sweetheart bodice adds a nuanced air while her tousled, beach-wavy blonde hair hits all the notes of a calculated informality. We see you, Reese!

EMMA WATSON:

We were on pins and needles (frantically chatting with the Marchesa twitter feed) about whether or not Emma would wear their fitted, stark white, mini-sheath—with the fringe and the beads and the YUM—and we're thrilled that she did. The Potter star was lovely, gracious, and appeared to GLIDE on her reflective silver, sky-high Brian Atwood heels. Heavenly. Naturally.

BLAKE LIVELY:

Blake Lively is a sleek aerodynamic nymph in a gorgeous cut-out Michael Kors dress, which further proves that she is probably most at home being some sort of beautiful mer-creature. And to further prove the fact that she is actually a WOMAN times 10, she's got that hair pulled into a streamlined ponytail, which makes us feel like she probably got right out of the pool after "kissing her skin" with sun and just came on over to the awards.

HAILEE STEINFELD:

The thing about this Louis Vuitton tuxedo that we've rhapsodized enthusiastically about SEVERAL times now is that the fit was just perfect. Now, we realize the 'p' word is bandied around so frequently as to be egregiously diluted but the cut was insane. The sequin lapel and tuxedo stripe on the pant showed a fantastically whimsical element but the slightly flared trouser leg added just the sleekest hint of '70s that was reminiscent of the BEST Stella McCartney pant circa early Chloe in a way that made us feel wildly nostalgic and happy. Fash geek-fest over.

MILA KUNIS:

So Mila Kunis didn't walk the Red Carpet and for that we have a single-teared frowny face sticker added to her permanent file. But it's scratch-n-stiff and smells like lilacs so it's still a happy ending! The Justin Timberlake molesting 'Black Swan' star kept it simple and complemented a deep, black top with a silver and gold HEAVILY textured metallic, body-con mini. Balmain and therefore IMPOSSIBLE to go wrong.

ELLE FANNING:

There are all of these girls on the red carpet at the Awards, and while most of them are bright young things, Miss Elle Fanning is so young, so tall, and clearly has a much-talented older sib to possibly over-shadow her. But instead, she goes for the bloomers (with blooms! Blooming bloomers!). Sure, it's a youthful romper and all, but the she drops the bomb on us that it is Dolce and Gabbana.

KRISTEN STEWART:

Kristen Stewart's hardware-laden Balmain strapless dress was PUHLENTY impressive from a distance as we were deafened by the screaming Twilight fans but as she approached we realized that the deep red number wasn't beaded as we'd earlier thought but pierced throughout and riddled with hundreds of safety pins. Bad. Ass. Plus, think of the countless wardrobe malfunctions she could ameliorate with the handy fastenings! Yes. I just said, "ameliorate" it is one million o'clock here.

HOLLAND RODEN:

Who is this lovely statuette of a woman that has shown up on our screen, looking a bit like an idol/goddess? Grab a pen all: This is Teen Wolf’s Holland Roden. She’s prepped for her first red carpet (and judging by the Amy Adams’-like nature of her get-up, definitely not her last) in a killer Jad Ghandour gown that has a massive train, but is still fitting her form and showing off her killer gams. And lastly, the one-shouldered geometry of this dress is just slaying us. Forget wolves vs. vampires: We’re Team Holland.

EMMA STONE:

The temptation to flub a vitamin C opening joke in this write up is an enticing one but we're not sure it conveys the proper sentiment which is that we ADORED Emma Stone's playful foray into prettily, citrussy color palettes. From her nails to her clutch to the foundation layer of her Bottega Veneta dress, we loved the completeness of her convictions.
