Kerry Washington in a Michael Kors mullet dress at the MTVMA: cute or fug?

I kind of like how Kerry Washington has arrived, don’t you? She’s been on the cusp of becoming a big-name celebrity for a while, but it feels like over the past year – with Django Unchained and Scandal – she’s really become a big star. She dresses like a woman who knows she’s going to be discussed too. Kerry wore this Michael Kors mullet dress to the MTV Movie Awards. I hate it, I think it’s too dressy for MTV, and I hate that shade of yellow-orange. But props to her because she knows how to get talked about and because while I don’t like this look, I respect it. Mostly because I genuinely like her!

Here’s Ke$ha. She looked like hell but at least she got to get high with Snoop Lion.

Hana Mae Lee and her cigarette-butt hat. I don’t even know. She’s in Pitch Perfect, by the way.

And here’s Zoe Saldana in Givenchy. Now I kind of want Zoe and Tom Hiddleston to get together so we can concentrate all of the cheeseball cringe in one place.

    In fact I’m impress, she’s a beautiful woman and always looks awful, I don’t know what’s her problem : no taste or her stylist hates her..

  2. I LOVE Kerry 🙂 It was adorable when she presented Jamie with his award and she said the sweetest things about him and then they did the little dance (is it just me or do they have REALLY good chemistry? like both in “Django” and in real life!) so I’ll give her a pass for the dress. She’s so pretty that she could wear a garbage bag and make it work (and btw, Zoe’s dress and Ke$ha’s outfit is WAY uglier!)

      have you even S-E-E-N the magic chemistry that is Olitz on ‘Scandal’??? 😯 and don’t forget the napkin for your seat…it ‘IS’ that hot! 😉

    Loved the look, but then I love Kerry Washington so…

    OK, I don’t get it. Why is it that if Michael Kors puts his name on a dress it becomes designer even if it is as ugly as sin. It is essentially the same look as a little kid wrapping a tablecloth around her waist to play dress-up. I realize the MTV awards are meant to be edgey but they just wind up looking silly.

    There are a lot of WTF fashion on this thread but Kerry isn’t one of them. She looks lovely and pulls it off though I would have just preferred the Black dress without the trimming.

    Kerry looks so different to me now. At first take, I really thought she was Eva Longoria. Has she had some work done?

    • duchessofhazard says:

      I don’t know, man. You think it might be her nose? She’s lighter now as well. :/

    • RHONYC says:

      i was thinking the same thing…maybe she’s using Longoria’s makeup artist now.

      i happen to love her makeup on Scandal. 😉

      p.s. – i LOVE her lips…they are perfection!!!!!!!

    • Jill says:

      Def nose and cheekbones. Also, she is WAY too thin. It accentuates it all even more.

    • Tiffany :) says:

      I have seen her up close, and I don’t think she has any big work done on her face (no implants or fillers, but perhaps peels or lasers).

      It is easy to forget that she is 36, and I think when women mature their cheekbones become a little more prominent because there isn’t the youthful cheek fat in there (think Selena Gomez).

  7. smee says:

    Everyone looks kinda bad at this event.

    KW’s make-up makes her look ill. That thing she wrapped around her waist….I don’t…..I can’t……

    Frankly, the Cigarette Butt hat is the best thing in the pics, but whoever is wearing it didn’t really pull it off.

  8. Dawn says:

    Oh my gosh! Everything looks ugly and tacky on everyone. I like Kerry lots because she is such good actress but not feeling what’s she is wearing.

  9. ilovejapanesefood says:

    At first take I thought she was kim kardashian only much darker. It sounds terrible, I know.

  10. pretty says:

    Jamie Foxx is so HOT! ♡

  11. heyu says:

    Kerry looks lovely as usual..

    Now I need olivia and fitz to sort their shit out and get back together.

    Creepy jake and crazy mellie need to dissapare (I do love hating mellie lol)

    Need scandal back asap

  12. Eli says:

    Atrocious! Not real sure who her stylist is, but he/she needs to fired immediately… Or, maybe she needs a stylist!

  13. UghInsomnia says:

    Has Kerry done something to her face?! I used to think she was one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen, but I would NOT have known this was her.

  14. Denver Danni says:

    I love Kerry Washington so much, she could be in a garbage bag from Derelict and I’d love it.

  15. RHONYC says:

    Kerry is so VERY!!!

    i super am crushing on her right now.

    i thought my head was going to explode when i learned Scandal had THREE MORE EPISODES LEFT TO THE FINALE!!!!!!!!!! woo-hoo!!!

    i’m official defunktafied with this post. thanx Kaiser!

    Olitz-Groupie-4-Evz!!! 😳 😀 😆

  16. LaLa2 says:

    I credited her change in apperance to the weight she’s lost, but I have noticed that she is much lighter than she was back in the day. Still love her, just not the outfit.

    • RHONYC says:

      i have actually had similar thoughts about some AA actresses & performers i’ve watched over the years and have come to the following conclusion:

      when at 1st starting their careers, these gals didn’t have the scratch $$$ to go to estheticians and the like to get facials/exfoliating treaments & such.

      now, after raking in some dough they can afford spa treatments which can lift dead/dull cells revealing a brighter complexion.

      i don’t think in anyway she’s tryin’ to pull a Lil’ Kim however. jussayin. :mrgreen:

  17. Mandy says:

    I don’t think it matters what Kerry wears, she’s gorgeous in anything! I can’t with any of these other people.

  18. crista says:

    Is that Caine from poltergeist 2 in the form of Ke$ha?

  19. crtb says:

    To me she always looks beautiful! I love her style.

  20. F5 says:

    Kerry needs darker lipstick. That color on her is driving me crazy. She’s gorgeous, though.

  21. mar says:

    Kerry is gorgeous but her lips are taking over her face
