All the Red Carpet Style at the 2022 MTV Movie and TV Awards



 

 The MTV Movie and TV Awards made a splash this weekend with celebs like Vanessa Hudgens, JLo, Sydney Sweeny and more stepping out on the red carpet. The "biggest night to be a fan" has been a pop culture staple but recently MTV added the Unscripted Awards event. Airing right after the Movie and TV awards the 2nd annual Unscripted show celebrated the biggest names in reality TV.  I spoke to the stars on the red carpet about the trends they will be wearing this summer and more! 

The Movie and TV Awards brought some major celebrities to Barker Hanger in Santa Monica for the event including Glen Powell and Jay Ellis from Top Gun Maverick, Sydney Sweeney of Euphoria, Vanessa Hudgens who hosted the show, Swae Lee who gave a special performance during the awards, Awkwafina, Jack Black, Jenna Ortega, Lana Condor, Taylor John Smith, Olivia Rodrigo and of course Jennifer Lopez. 

One of the major trends from the red carpet was color. Lana Condor showed up in this all pink suit looking on point. Vanessa Hudgens wore a royal blue dress, Sophia Di Martino wore an all red bedazzled suit, Awkwafina showed up in neon yellow, Taylor John Smith wore his favorite color light blue, Cazzie David wore neon green. I spoke to Taylor John Smith about his look as well as his new movie "Where the Crawdads Sing" which is set to come out in July. Check out my interview with him in the video below! 

Another trend from this red carpet was cutouts. JLo, Chrisnell Stausse, Teresa Giudice, Sher Saurez Tefi Pessoa and more all showed off a little skin for summer in cutout looks. Check out my interview with Sher Suarez below as she describes her Bronx and Banco red carpet look. 

One of my favorite trends from this event was definitely the sparkles. Paris Hilton, Kathy Hilton, Kim Lee, Sydney Sweeney, Sophia Di Martino, Heather and Tarek El Moussa, and Chanel West Coast all opted for bedazzles looks on the red carpet. Check out my interview with Kim Lee of Bling Empire below for details on her sparkly look. 

As for what trends celebs are going to be sporting this summer, it's all about color and comfort. I spoke to Symone, the star of RuPaul's drag race who said, "I used to stay away from pink because I was like ooh that'ss not me. But it makes me feel so bubbly inside it just stirs up some things I don't know." 

I also spoke to Mandii B. podcast host extraordinaire who told me, "I love that crochet is coming back. So I like the crochet tops, shorts and skorts are back." 

Tayshia Adams who hosted the Unscripted awards shared her top picks saying, "I recently bought my first pair of oversized jeans and now I can’t stop wearing them I’ve never worn those before. Also black slides. I never used to be a fan I’m a heels girl."

And Tefi Possoa, Tik Tok celeb and InStyle correspondent gave an extra credit answer telling us what trend we need to throw out of our closets this summer. She said, " I feel like I'm sick of you making me buy cargo pans. I'm buying them because I'm a trendy little girl but I don't wanna do it anymore. Anything that I have to go into Old Navy for I don't want it. If I see another double polo I'm lighting everything on fire like in waiting to exhale when she throws the match I'm gonna do that to every double polo in the world." 

Heather El Moussa said she was all about pops of color this summer, "I love color. Lime green pops of color I mean my whole new wardrobe is pops of color." 

Cheyenne Valentino star of the new Drag competition show Queen of the Universe said, "I am really getting into the big tulle skirts now I love them. I used to think people were crazy walking around in with all the tulle skirts. So I got me a few tulles made." 

What was your favorite look of the night? Let me know in the comments below!

Chanel West Coast Announces Pregnancy and Shares Her Maternity Style on the MTV Unscripted Awards Red Carpet

Los Angeles basedsinger and television personality Chanel West Coast announced some big news on the red carpet at the MTV Unscripted Awards which aired Sunday night on MTV. The singer spoke about this exciting time for her family. The “Ridiculousness” Co-host shared her excitement as well as her nerves for the upcoming changes her first baby will bring saying it was definitely “scary” but overall happy news. She appeared with her boyfriend Dom Fenison on the red carpet and the couple looked cuter than ever as they talked about their plans for the baby.

The musician mentioned her struggles with morning sickness in the first trimester and how it had made keeping the news under wraps difficult. But now she is ready to take things public and is hoping for a smooth summer while she prepares to welcome her child into the world. The singer is well known for her bold sense of style and she continued the tradition with her red carpet look for the event. She described her outfit saying, “Pink is more my vibe, I’m wearing a pink and green Dolce and Gabbana dress, Louboutin shoes, and a Louboutin clutch.” One of the most immediate changes the baby will bring is to her wardrobe. We asked the star what her maternity style will be and she excitedly shared her plans saying, “I’m gonna be very Rihanna vibes as soon as the belly is popping a little more I’m gonna show it off more because right now it’s still in that stage where it’s like people might think I’m a little overweight at the moment. But as soon as it’s popping out more I’m just gonna start showing it off more.” She added, “I’m just looking for whatever I can wear right now. I haven’t been paying as much attention to the trends as usual as I’ve been trying to pay attention to what actually is going to fit me and still be cute.”

The artist is looking forward to being a mom and is already feeling inspired by her child. She released a brand new music video on June 2nd and already has additional projects in the works. Fans are looking forward to hearing her new songs and the singer has hinted that there may be some surprises in her music style as well. It will be a transformative summer for the artist and a joyous time for her growing family.

Before heading inside the MTV star shared what she was most looking forward to about the awards show saying, “Tonight I’m just looking forward to seeing what crazy thing happens like the MTV awards is known for something crazy happening and I think that we don’t ever know what’s gonna happen so I can’t wait to see what crazy shenanigans happen.” The 2nd annual MTV Unscripted Awards aired on Sunday June 5th with special guests Paris Hilton and Bethany Frenkel in addition to cast members from some of the biggest shows in Reality TV this year.

Exclusive Interview: Fashion Icon Tayshia Adams Hosts MTV Unscripted Awards


 

 Tayshia Adams has had a whirlwind past few years going from a graduate of Concordia University in Irvine to fan-favorite contestant on the Bachelor and now to major media personality and host for the 2nd annual MTV Unscripted Awards. The fashion icon and social media star has built a name for herself by breaking barriers in the reality TV genre as the first bi-racial host of the Bachelorette. But as a young girl growing up in Newport Beach she never dreamed her career would take her all the way to Hollywood. When we spoke to Adams on the red carpet before her big night she said, “I would’ve probably never predicted it but at the same time I feel like this is exactly where I need to be.”

As for what’s next Adams is enjoying her new home in New York City for now and plans to run the NYC marathon again after successfully completing the 2021 race while raising money for the World Vision charity last November. Despite being hospitalized for a kidney infection after last year’s event she is not giving up and planning to compete again in 2022. She said, “I did run my first marathon last year and I’m definitely planning on running the New York marathon this year.”

Adams told us about her new home in NYC and how she has evolved since leaving her home in sunny Southern California. She said, “First of all now that I live in New York my fashion sense has completely changed first of all I’m wearing mostly black if that doesn’t tell you that I’m a New York girl I don’t know what would. It’s really brought out my edge. I feel like orange county is way more chill and laid back and like colorful.”

For Adams, being a host isn’t just about the fun and excitement. She takes the role very seriously and worked to mentor Bachelorette Katie while co-hosting season 17 last year. As the first bi-racial Bachelorette host she also works to be a role model for women like herself.

She shared how she incorporates both of her cultures into her style saying, “I feel like I wear what represents me and I’ll try anything. I love color and with that Mexican culture has a lot of vibrance and that’s always fun to bring into the mix.”

While this was only the second year for the Unscripted Awards, there was still plenty of drama and excitement for fans and Adams had her work cut out for her. The Bachelor Nation sensation is enjoying her new home in NYC but was still happy to be back in her home state for the big night. When it comes to the future there is no doubt her busy career will bring her back to California but for now, she is looking forward to enjoying the summer season. She shared what she’s most looking forward to wearing in the warm weather saying, “I recently bought my first pair of oversized jeans and now I can’t stop wearing them I’ve never worn those before. Also black slides. I never used to be a fan I’m a heels girl.”
