Worst MMVA Fashion

Posted Wed Jun 17, 2009 11:12am PDT by Chloe Tejada in Sound Check
In part one of our daily look at the MuchMusic Video Awards, which air this Sunday, Chloe listed the most cringe-worthy performances of past MMVAs. Today, she takes on questionable moments in MMVA fashion.

Let's not kid ourselves - the MMVAs are not the most fashionable awards show. I mean, Pamela Anderson hails from our fine country and she is quite possibly the worst dresser in the history of C-list celebrities. Clearly, Canadians need some help when it comes to their sartorial choices (paging ex-VJ Sook-Yin Lee!)

However some past MMVA red carpet moments really made us shudder in horror. Here are our top picks for the worst.

7. Rihanna

Like a toned-down version of Elvira. A little less witch-like but still scary. The dress seems more fitting for Cruella de Vil, not a young, hot pop star. We like you better in leather RiRi.

6. Avril Lavigne

There are better ways to show your patriotic roots than hand sewing a mangy Canadian flag on a hideous "outfit." I get Avril doesn't like to go glam at award shows, but this faux-punk phase has got to go.

5. Paris Hilton

Or should we call you Headmistress Hilton? This lacy ensemble just makes the heiress/Queen-of-All-That-is-Tacky look old and frumpy. The chest area offends me the most. It looks like she inserted a frilly plate on top of her dress.

 

4. Fefe Dobson

Fefe who? Exactly. This outfit might have ruined any chances of her becoming a successful singer. It looks like she doesn't care at all what she wears. I think the last time I wore ripped jeans was in Grade 9. Huge mistake Fefe!

3. Girlicious

The girls offended audiences with their awful performance, and they offend anyone with a sense of fashion with their awful ensembles. Fire the stylist! This failed S&M look is closer to Halloween hooker costume horror show. Major fail.

2. Pamela Anderson

My poor eyes! Pammy certainly tried her best to win the Worst Dressed award in this shiny, barely-there unflattering ensemble. Hello! Elizabeth Berkley wants her "Showgirls" stage outfit back. And her taste in men doesn't help her cause.

1. Jay Manuel

Maybe Jay wanted a sparkle-off with Pam Anderson? You would think that the host of Canada's Next Top Model (pictured with Season One host and model Tricia Helfer) would know how to dress. But his ill-fitted blazer, too-loose pants and tacky leopard shoes leave me wondering whether he knows anything about fashion. Guess being Tyra Banks' minion doesn't help.

But what do you think about my picks? Think I'm dead wrong? Got an even worse offender I didn't list? Please comment!

1Wow okay first off Avril is not going through a "faux" punk faze. Secondly she's is punk, and she does punk that is interesting and pretty now. So is Fefe Dobson. Rhianna's ensemble and interesting with its tab of geek chic with the white suspenders but maybe the wrong place for them. That skirt is absolutely hot. The high waist and snug curve, the length, and the top, revealing with out showing all. Paris is actually wearing one of her outfits I don't hate! It has that 40's glam era too it yet with a modern twist. Jay is looking good. His blazer fits him as it should. Only problem with his outfit is the fact that the pants are a little long.

As for the rest of them, clearly some mistakes were made but not everyone gets it right 100% of the time.

Maybe Paris wants to show her X Dough what he's missing...... WHICH IS NOT MUCH HA HA HA HA.

I think that Jay Manuel should have worn the orange dress.

I think that out of everyone here, Pamela and Girlicious look the worst. Did they forget half of their outfits? ...I don't understand how someone could actually go out in public looking like that... it makes you wonder if they have any shame at all.
As for Fefe and Avril, they look confident, and if they want to express themselves, who cares? At least they don't look like everyone else.
Rihanna and Paris Hilton sort of look like they aged about 50 years since the last time we saw them... Paris especially.
Obviously Jay and Tricia never tried on their clothing before the big day, because Jays pants are too big and Tricia's dress swallows her. How can people say that the fashion industry is turning around and accepting models at a normal weight when such a famous model is looking that thin?
Anyway, I'm not trying to be negative or critical... all of these people look good in their own ways, I'm just bored and have nothing better to do.
XD

Well , you can say anything about anybody draped in all kinds of crap but the truth is these people are trend setters and two years down the road you might find yourself slipping on an ugly jacket with a canadian flag on its back or some shiny metalic nonsense :))

I love Avril Lavigne's outfit. It shows style and like me, she is not afraid to wear what she wants,where she wants to wear it, and doesn't care who loves or hates it. Personally, I'm sick of the fashion world telling people what to wear and what not to wear and categorize them as tacky just because they are wearing something that doesn't agree with them, when they themselves wouldn't presume to be told what to wear themselves, and who sometimes give out advice in fashion magazines on how to build your own style or how to save money by buying second hand clothing. This is why I refuse to follow fads and I create my own style.
I'm sorry but I refuse to be a clone.

no no no no no no i onil like'd the 1,3,5,7 hahaha i

Trisha should stay away from those open dresses it looks sickly.

33. shoe -
I think Pamela's outfit is so swicked.. I wish i could still have the old bod, to wear things like that again!! She looks fantastic...
BUT JAY... OMG, you shouldn't even be allowed to be on my favourite show, after wearing such an awful look! I would love to take your photo to the panel and watch Tyra kick your ass to the curb! Sorry Jay..love ya..but...the pic is what it is! your going home!!!!!!!!

34. Brianna -
i don't think there is anything wrong with what avril is wearing...it looks like something i would wear actually....and seriously, who cares what people were wearing anyways? i think people are too concerned about celebrities and seeing somthing like this makes me feel like crap because all it does is show that they're "better than us" or whatever when really, they're just people like me. i doubt anyone really cares, but that's my opinion.

35. janebo -
These people are rich? Not in a fashion sense, that's for sure...they all look like crap and so do the people in the shots with them. As for being jealous, why would anybody be jealous of rags or ill-fitting "outfits" that you're too old for or have no rear-end to wear properly? Maybe it's good if you're an old perv. Please...get some class.

36. shoe -
Hey folks...just a "simple" FYI. We the people, were asked what we all think of these outfits??? That was the question...If you don't believe in fashion or just want to put people down for their answers to this question, then why bother even to write anything..you are all stating your personal opinion..FINE, but there was a question asked and thats all everyone is doing, is answering a "simple" question!..U obviously must have some interest in fashion or in celebrities, b/c your reading the Article..lol

well im not surprised about girlicious there just a bunch of strippers that can sing, there hott girls but they sell albums with skin, is that some kind of prostitution?

38. -
Looking over the outfits, I really don't see what the problem is. Admittedly Rihanna would look better without the white belt but the dress looks wonderful, Avril looks like she always does I really could not care less about what Paris Hilton wears or if she even shows up. I have no idea who FeFe Dobson is, nor do I really care, Same with Girlicious but the blond in the group has a nice smile. Pammy looks like Pammy. As for Jay what's his name, who cares and Tricia's Grecian gown, it's cut the way a Grecian gown is supposed to be cut, loose in the top and long in the skirt.

personally, i think avril's outfit was great. wat's wrong with sweater and skirt for a skater girl like her?!

OMG! PAMELA
