While the Oscars and Emmys are for the time for amazing gowns on the red carpet, the MTV Movie Awards is when stars can let down their hair down and play it a little more cool, chic, and in some cases just plain crazy.
The theme for the 2012 MTV Movie Awards red carpet seemed to either be bold, bright colors or black & white.
Popping color was Best Kiss winner Kristen Stewart in a yellow, purple, and silver Guishem mini and Ciara in a bright red/orange Balmain mini. Best Cast winner Emma Watson wore a multi-print Brood dress while Pretty Little Liars star Lucy Hale wore a color-blocked Catherine Malandrino dress.
MTV Trail Blazer award winner Emma Stone kept it chic in a black and white strapless Martin Grant dress. Presenter Jessica Biel welcomed summer with a fabulous white Chanel dress. Best On-Screen Transformation winner Elizabeth Banks rocked an all black Elie Saab jumpsuit while Best Breakthrough Performance winner Shaileen Woodley also wore an all black jumpsuit from Stella McCartney.
Presenter Julianne Hough wore a black cut-out Sally LaPointe dress while Christina Ricci hit the red carpet in a black Christian Siriano strapless dress with detailing that included crystals, buttons, beads and Timex watches.
However, it was the always fabulous Charlize Theron who wowed us the most in a stunning red strapless peplum dress from Lavin.
