The 2014 MTV Movie Awards.

WITH awards such Best Fight and Best Kiss up for grabs, the MTV Movie Awards may not be the most highbrow of film award shows but it's this irreverence that allows for an edgier dress-code than the formality of the Oscars or Golden Globes. Case in point Rita Ora in a plunging-to-the-navel Barbara Casasola gown or Jessica Alba in her Piece d'Anarchive cropped top and Kenzo full skirt. Lupita Nyong'o added a more fashion forward touch to proceedings in a Chanel autumn/winter 2014 dress, while Shailene Woodley continued to build her status as one of young Hollywood's most interesting style mavens with her Balmain pre-autumn/winter 2014 dress. Here are the trends that made it on the red carpet.

Pleats. Pleats made their debut on the red carpet with Lupita Nyong’o in Chanel, Mila Kunis in Thakoon and Holland Roden in Salvatore Ferragamo.
