MTV Movie Awards Fug Carpet: Leighton Meester


“What do you want from me?” Leighton appears to be asking.

“I’ve spent the last five years trapped in the Groundhog Day of TV storylines. I had to act like I was in love with Penn Badgley while he wore Helena Bonham Carter on his head. So maybe I need to decompress by wearing a t-shirt imprinted with a ski map of the Swiss Alps, and a half-Zbornak sweat-vest, and a dinner napkin that I stapled in the middle to make horts. And maybe I need to put it with lipstick that looks like a toddler who just ate some Crayola 64 and some shoes that are cute but also so uninspired with this whole blah outfit that it looks like I threw it together while I was in a comatose state and somebody spent three hours yodeling the Flashdance soundtrack to my sleeping body. WALK A MILE IN MY CUTE BUT UNINSPIRING SHOES AND THEN WE WILL TALK. Now, does anyone have some clippers? I need to get to Penn before the chloroform wears off.”

    What is up with this suede shoes in summer trend? I don’t get it.

      I was JUST going to say that I think if the pumps were patent instead of suede, this would be 100% better.

    Not loving the vest, but overall, I think she looks really pretty.

      …with the BFFs at the mall movie theatre, then off to TGIFs for a pitcher of Margaritas and dinner salad on the patio.

      I agree! She looks very pretty (though more Minka, less Meister with the lighter hair). And I know it’s ‘on-trend’ but I would like to give her a million points for ditching the bronzer.

    Ladies, who peed in your cornflakes this morning? I don’t think she looks terrible at all. I’m not crazy about the vest thing, but otherwise I think she looks cute. Her face looks good and she looks relaxed and chill. The shorts and tank are fun and summery. I mean, it’s the MTV Movie Awards.

      Aha, but she didn’t just wear the shirt and the shorts. She wore the whole outfit. And together it’s terrible.

        Agreed. This is an outfit you run to get coffee in (sans heels). Everything together is like marshmallows in lasagne.

    Those shoes? That outfit? Her stylist definitely had the month off!

    Agreed, blah & washed out – I don’t like that hair color on her much either, she’s so pretty with dark hair! Also, is there something hidden in those ugly vest pockets? Maybe snacks? They look weighed down a little.

    This is so blahhhhhhhh. That vest is horrible, the pockets are so floppy and last-minute looking.
    And I hate the shoes, BORING.

    It may just be the lighting, but is there blood pooling in her feet?? Years of medical drama training leads me to conclude that she has an alarming circulation problem.

      Huge 2nd!! Looks like dirty feet or faded tats? wtf?

        Looks more like she got a sunburn while wearing a different pair of shoes–it’s easy to forget to put sunscreen on your feet!–which is what’s making her skin look different colors.

    These things do not belong together. From the ankles up she’s dressed for the beach. From the ankles down she’s wearing big tall heels. Pick one and work with it, sister.

    I’m with CJ, y’all’re not as charitable as usual today. Except for the shoes, the outfit is fine- for shopping, or strolling on the beach. It’s not really suitable for the red carpet, nor even Nickelodeon award shows, but it’s not all that bad an outfit.

    Lose the vest entirely and swap out the shoes for some cute flat sandals (maybe in gold?) and she’d look fine – summery and casual. The vest is bad and the shoes belong with a totally different outfit.

    She looks pretty, and I like the top and shorts, but it doesn’t look right to me with pumps. And, there is something a little Blanche from the Golden Girls about that vest.

    Zbornak. *snort*

    She looks cute, but not for an award show, even the MTV’s.

    Church picnic this weekend, and it’s a casual sort of “affirming” church. This would be a really cute out with sandals or canvas shoes because she looks really cute. Maybe not for an event though. And let’s forget about shorts and formal pumps.

    Not crazy about the outfit, but her face and hair colour here look refreshing.

    Considering everyone else was wearing skirts that were this length, I was just glad no one could look up her dress.

    I actually think this is a really cute casual summery outfit, and because i tend to look at pictures before the words, i was actually reallly surprised that this was a fug.

    Oh dear….why is her hair this colour?? She needs to go back to a proper brunette shade. This wishy washy colour is washing her out!

    “…while he wore Helena Bonham Carter on his head”….LOL!

    She looks fine, maybe not GREAT, but definitely not worthy of FUG.

    if you guys watch her on the telecast when she presented best kiss or whatever with adam sandler and andy samberg, she had her hands jammed in the vest pockets and it was ballooning around her hips in a most unflattering manner. yes, she’s a beautiful girl with a gorgeous figure, but this outfit was so awful and had no business being on any red carpet (even if that carpet belongs to MTV!).
