Simon Doonan Muses on Style Icons

Edited by

Simon Doonan has been called many things in his life. “The fox-crazy impresario of Barneys’ notorious windows”? True. Gay? Definitely. Style Icon? Yes, but he’s not quite sure that’s accurate. ”I read a column once where they called me a style icon and thought they were out of their minds thinking no one wants to look like me.

Forbes Ranks Hollywood’s Most Overpaid Actresses

Edited by

Forbes Magazine, which clearly has nothing better to do than feed into society’s insatiable appetite for celebrity by enumerating their incomes based on conjecture, scientific (I’m guessing) estimates and good ole hearsay, has come out with its list of “Hollywood’s Highest Paid Actresses.” The list, which reads like a “Really? Her?” of A-list “talent,” is topped by supermom and noted bare-faced adventurer Angelina Jolie who ties with the “actress” formerly (and forever) known as Carrie Bradshaw, one Ms. Sarah Jessica Parker.  Full list after the jump.

THE BEST AND WORST DRESSED @ THE MTV MOVIE AWARDS

THE BEST AND WORST DRESSED @ THE MTV MOVIE AWARDS

Hands down, Scarlett Johansson wins Best Dressed.

Last year at the MTV MOVIE AWARDS, I was astonished at the sheer stupidity of the overall content. Last night, I was less astonished at the stupidity and more amazed at what little fashion walked the red carpet. And when I say little, I mean very little dresses coupled with very little taste. Yesterday afternoon, my freind Audrey Nizen (Creative Director, Bloomingdale’s) and I were lamenting on how stylists have ruined the creativity at awards shows by playing it all too safe. Last night however, there was safety in numbers, and all of which hit the recurring theme of Hootchie Mamma.

THE BEST AND WORST DRESSED @ THE MTV MOVIE AWARDS

In an effort to conceal her ankle thing, Lindsay Lohan channelled Mrs. Roper from Three's Company.

THE BEST AND WORST DRESSED @ THE MTV MOVIE AWARDS

These two Jeresey Shore-ites, JWoww and Snooki set the tone for Hootchie Mamma.

THE BEST AND WORST DRESSED @ THE MTV MOVIE AWARDS

Katy Perry's hair rocks but her dresses were cha-cha at best.

THE BEST AND WORST DRESSED @ THE MTV MOVIE AWARDS

This Katy Perry number is Vegas showgirl or Ice Capades…you choose.

THE BEST AND WORST DRESSED @ THE MTV MOVIE AWARDS

Sandra Bullock looked amazing in her backless number, but really, she could have added one inch to the length. Girl, you are in your 40's…relax. You're still America's sweetheart.

THE BEST AND WORST DRESSED @ THE MTV MOVIE AWARDS

Evan Mendez channelled Wilma Flintstone and (B) I am realy over the one shoulder story.

THE BEST AND WORST DRESSED @ THE MTV MOVIE AWARDS

As in this case with Stephnie Pratt who was sporting a wanna-be Stephen Sprouse moment.

THE BEST AND WORST DRESSED @ THE MTV MOVIE AWARDS

Audrina Patridge proves my point…that one shoulder needs another.

THE BEST AND WORST DRESSED @ THE MTV MOVIE AWARDS

This ill fitting coral David's Bridal Bridesmaid dress did nothing for Lauren Bosworth besides get her on the worst dress list.

THE BEST AND WORST DRESSED @ THE MTV MOVIE AWARDS

Nikki Reed wore a schmatta that looked like a Woolworth's House Coat from the 60's…and not in a good way.

THE BEST AND WORST DRESSED @ THE MTV MOVIE AWARDS

Samantha Harris also needed another inch on the length. Come on girl…you're pusing 40…no?

THE BEST AND WORST DRESSED @ THE MTV MOVIE AWARDS

Christina Aguilera…fotz.

THE BEST AND WORST DRESSED @ THE MTV MOVIE AWARDS

Snooki is hilare…but white wakes you look wider, so she looked as wide as she is tall. She definitely needed the Snooki hair bump to give her the height.

THE BEST AND WORST DRESSED @ THE MTV MOVIE AWARDS

All the single ladies…all the single ladies. Skank patrol.

THE BEST AND WORST DRESSED @ THE MTV MOVIE AWARDS

When asked, “Who are you wearing?”, JWoww proudly announced the launch of her new collection, Skank Couture.

Catch Merle Ginsberg (Editor-in-Cheif, fashionrules.com) and my new column, Apples and Oranges, The Best And Worst Dressed at the MTV Movie Awards.
