Red Carpet Rewind: 2008 MTV Movie Awards preview |
By Elizabeth Snead, The Envelope
Back in the early '90s, the upstart MTV Movie Awards were a loosey-goosey fashion night. Kinda funky. Kinda freaky. Not exactly a fashion-forward affair. But as the show began drawing bigger name celebs the red carpet fashion show became more luxe and a little less personal.
Today stars use the MTV Movie Awards to make strong style statements and to show off their designer allies. Who can forget Cameron Diaz's black strapless miniscule mini-dress last year? Or the black frilly prom frock that Paris Hilton wore on her last red carpet before going to jail? How about Victoria Beckham's skin-tight zebra-stripe Roberto Cavalli dress that looked more like a one-piece swimsuit?
This year's MTV Movie Awards lineup, hosted by Mike Myers and set to kick off live from the Gibson Ampitheatre in Universal City on Sunday at 8 p.m., includes designer darlings such as Katherine Heigl, Charlize Theron, Anne Hathaway, Lindsay Lohan, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Hudson, Liv Tyler and Amy Adams, who are guaranteed to go all out.
Here's a look at some of the sure-to-be-stylin' nominees and presenters we'll be watching Sunday night.

She covered international fashion, entertainment and pop culture for USA Today for a decade and survived the film festival war zones from thermal undies Sundance to topless Cannes.
Her celebrity coverage has appeared in The Washington Post, TV Guide, Us Weekly, InStyle, Ladies Home Journal and Harper's Bazaar.
She's allergic to the limelight, designer shoes and persistent publicists. She also heeds Henry David Thoreau's advice: 'Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes.'
