First: Remember when the MTV Movie Awards was THE SHIT? It was legit. Everyone came. Now I feel like people are showing up mostly out of obligation or because their PR person suggested it or, in this case, because Sofia had a dress she wanted to air out. It IS good; it seems very bizarre and too formal at this event, but I always appreciate how truly she commits.

Jennifer Lopez in Monot

Everyone other than J.Lo looked like they were melting at this red carpet -- it wasn't even that warm yesterday; I think they were just in direct sun -- and she, on the other hand, looks like she might be in a perfume commercial. Very sexy, sort of relaxed, with truly perplexing shoes.

Olivia Rodrigo in vintage Jean Paul Gaultier

This is very fun on her; young, and interesting, and I love how much more vintage we're seeing lately. This is kicky and 90s.

Sydney Sweeney in Miu Miu

Whereas this FEELS vintage, a la 2005, and we CANNOT go back to this place! This is Kitson Gone Wild, please do not return to this vibe! You do not want to struggle with your butt falling out of every bottom you own, young people!

Maria Bakalova in Dolce & Gabbana

This might be a more successful -- and funkier -- iteration of Sydney's look. Together, they sort of look like they're in a sexy reboot of Mean Girls, and Maria is Sexy Janis Ian, while Sydney is Sexy Cady Heron.

Chase Sui Wonders

I suspect the sunlight is sort of blowing out the details of this dress, but I like it on her. The styling might be a little uninspired, shoe-wise, and someone needs to come over and straighten her blouse out but...I like it.

Montana Brown

That line between Oversized and The Wrong Size is proving really tough for folks to walk. This is falling into the latter for me.

Meg Stalter

I LOVE her, as I noted earlier today, and her head looks great. I wish this were a different color -- I know it's meant to evoke lingerie, but imagine it in a slightly rosier pink?

Rachel Sennott

I like this. But the neckline plus her hair also feels like Sexy Victorian Widow Portrait. This woman's husband died of dysentery and she's not that unhappy about it.

Jenna Ortega in Valentino

STOP THE PRESSES, this is fantastic.

Double stop the presses, the Robert Palmer Girls are BACK!
