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.

Gothic Glamour.

From L-R: Missoni, Michael Kors, Lanvin and Saint Laurent

Autumn’s Gothic glamour lends its sombre palette to Spring in a shift to black. Think black for the day in sweet summer dresses and light weight layers.
Complex textures and couture detailing bring rich flavor to this new way of seeing as seen at Stella McCartney during the summer/spring 2013 show were delicate broderie anglaise took a sinister twist, while at Dolce and Gabbana gowns were all adorned with delicate daisies.
Try textures to soften the look, via ruffles and pleats, lace and embellishment.
For braver dressers, dare to bare in sheer lace panels or thigh high split gowns. Leave plenty of skin on show – slashed fronts, exposed midriffs and bare shoulders offset the moody palette and lighten the overall feel of summer black.
