Lea Michele in ruffled Armani at the Do Something Awards: cute or try-hard?

Last night, the Do Something Awards were held in LA, although the show won’t air until tomorrow night on VH1. The Do Something Awards are a celebration of charity work and good deeds, done by celebrities and “normal” people – you can read more about the awards here. The event was hosted by “the guys from the New Girl,” otherwise known as Jake M. Johnson, Max Greenfield and Lamorne Morris, seen in the header photo. Um… Jake is looking GREAT, right? I’ve always had a quiet attraction to him, but he’s lost some weight and he got a great haircut – it really works on him. HOT.

Since the red carpet already happened, let’s just talk about fashion, shall we? Here’s Lea Michele and her BOYFRIEND Cory Monteith. Lea wore a ruffled Armani that I really don’t care for – I’m tired of seeing Lea’s chestplate and her bangs. Also, I kind of think she got small bolt-ons. But she and Cory do look nice together.

Olivia Munn in an alice + olivia dress. It’s cute. I like the color. I’d like to see it with maybe two more inches of fabric at the bottom.

I’m in the uncomfortable position of adoring Kelly Osbourne’s Armani Exchange dress but disliking it ON HER. The dress would have been lovely on Lea Michele or someone else. But on Kelly, it seems too old-fashioned, too much of a “little old lady” costume.

Kristen Bell’s Jenny Kayne dress isn’t my taste at all, but I guess it’s fine for her.

Ashley Greene in… ?? Oh, it’s Michael Kors. I thought it was Donna Karan (because Ashley is the current face of Karan). The dress is cute, but I don’t like Ashley’s newly lightened hair. I don’t think that shade suits her.

Giuliana Rancic in unknown. It’s not her color. And I feel like the style is too “young” for her.

Nikki Reed in Lela Rose. Very, very pretty. The color comes close to washing her out, but I think it ends up flattering her skin tone, right?

    Is it just me or do Olivia’s boobs look squished in different directions? One looks much higher than the other. Like the pattern of the dress though.

    • Amy says:

      This. It’s all I can see. One boob looks twice the size of the other! I think this dress is atrocious and belongs in the girls 4-6x department.

  2. Lily says:

    Bunch of d-listers and nobodies. I never heard about this award.

  3. Miss Piggy says:

    Glee may go away now. I had a Barbie dress like hers. I made it myself. When I was 7.

    • Marianne says:

      It’s not like she made the dress. And she does have stylist…so if you hate it, blame the designer and the stylist.

      I personally adore Lea. I mean yes, she can be a little try-hardy sometimes, but she OWNS it, you know? And at least she isn’t always slouching on the red carpet or going around saying how much she hates Hollywood. Actors like that make me always want to tell them, to go do a different job then. And she is talented. I think she’s the most talented out of the Glee gang. She’s a great singer and actor.

    Compared to the other attendees, she is overdressed. Beautiful dress for seems inappropriate for this occasion.

  5. kristiner says:

    This is a collection of badly semi-celebs. Nikki Reed looks the best.

    Who the phuck is Olivia Munn and why is she relevant? I think of her as Minka Kelly. Another who the phuck is she? A no name who gets gigs because she use to phuck Jeter.

    The styling here is awful. All these dresses either make them all look short and stumpy chunky and/or they all have bad hair styles and/or weaves.

    Again head to toe Nikki Reed looks the most flattering.

    Thought Guilianna was suppose to be on baby watch.. I swear she is not going to give up on going to award shows or red carpet events until the baby crowns.

    And even then ..she might try sneaking in a show or 2.

  7. First Timer says:

    I liked Olivia’s dress. But yeah, I prefer it a bit longer.

  8. Aiobhan says:

    Nikki Reed’s dress would be better on someone who is much taller. Lea looks cute but not over the top. Overall, I think everyone here looks ok, not terrible, but not great either. There is something wrong with each outfit.

  9. lucy2 says:

    Some cute dresses but no one looks great.

    Why are they holding and airing an award show for this? How stupid. The money spent producing all this hoopla could actually go towards…charity!

  10. Blue says:

    Meh.

  11. TheOneAndOnlyOnly says:

    I agree lucy2 kristina lily as for Oliva munn I can only assume someone she serviced really really wants her to happen – and it just ain’t happening. Lea may as well appear at these pseudo events – Glee is on the way out it has burned through it’s popularity – Why not just volunteer at the local Humane Society or donate science texts to disadvantaged schools, etc – you don’t get to preen before the cameras if you do that.

    Olivia Munn is amazing on “The Newroom.” I was not buying in to her trying so hard to make it happen BUT she is quirky/nerdy/great on this show. I was not expecting to like her at all.

  13. xxodettexx says:

    i had a ZOMG moment when i realized that schmidt from new girl is leo from veronica mars! man, i need to check out new girl now! 🙂

  14. EmmaStoneWannabe says:

    What is this? A big fancy pat on the back for celebs who give back? Tacky. Really great PR to get an award for doing something positive. But take a step back and look at it…like most of these dresses, just flat out tacky.

  15. Lizbet says:

    I think I agree about the Lea Michele bolt-ons… She has a little sternum indentation happening on the right.

    Nikki Reed’s smile always seems so genuine; I really like her right now.

  16. molly says:

    Is it just me or has Cory become a bit of a douche since he started dating Lea? I mean, he seems nice but he looks like a Class A d-bag.
