MTV Movie Awards & Coachella — Best Looks!!

Double fashion feature this week for Fashion Nexus — 2 series of Best Looks! (1) The 2014 MTV Movie Awards & (2) Coachella 2014. Let’s start with the red carpet extravaganza for the MTV Movie Awards.

NICKI MINAJ

Nicki certainly knows how to play it up & have fun on the red carpet, but I have to say, I love this sophisticated & chic side with this form-fitting black Alexander McQueen gown. And rather than going bold & daring with the looks, I appreciate that Nicki saved that for her golden jewelry pieces by John Hardy — gilded cuffs, long earrings & a statement-making necklace.

JESSICA ALBA

Fun & simplistically sexy — that screams MTV Movie Awards to me! And Jessica has really hit a home-run here. She is clearly ready for summer, as I am! The pairing of this summery bandeau top by Piece d’Anarchive & flared skirt by Kenzo are truly a match made in heaven. And also pairing with perfection are a couple of her accessories — her printed Jimmy Choo pumps and an environmentally friendly Narciso Rodriguez for Bottletop Collaboration clutch. Lots of jewelry to discuss — earrings by Graziela Gems & rings by Rona Pfeiffer, Melissa Kaye, Derek Lam & Jamie Wolf.

VICTORIA JUSTICE

You certainly have to see the Wow factor with the MTV red carpets — fun, sexiness, boldness — it’s the time to be daring. I appreciate all of that with Victoria’s dusty rose & lavender asymmetrical mini dress by Atelier Versace, which she paired with metallic silver peep-toe heels by Brian Atwood and a matching metallic silver Edie Parker clutch. To top off the look, Victoria wore some jewelry pieces from both Kami Lerner and ELAHN.

ROCSI DIAZ

This is a fun look Rocsi has chosen, no bells & whistles, just again looking like someone is ready for some summer fun! The details in this white leather crop top and matching skirt combo by Monica Rose for Lovers + Friends is quite eye-catching. There are also many lovely accessories to compliment this look — nude Christian Louboutins & jewelry by Jennifer Fisher.

MTV’S NEWEST SERIES “FAKING IT” NEWCOMERS — RITA VOLK & BAILEY BUNTAIN

These somewhat red carpet newbies are killing it for me — very topnotch looks! 1st up, Rita looks super confident & sexy in her black & white # with an asymmetrical hem. Bailey is opting for a fun & flirty look with her metallic silver Alice + Olivia dress with matching silver Aldo heels & clutch.

Moving onto Coachella………… So Coachella is a widely known music festival. While known for the music, it’s also known for some pretty standout & trendy styles — perfect for spring & summer. Let’s have a look-see at some amazing looks from the music-filled fest!
