We all know stars (and wannabes) use fashion to get attention. Sometimes it works in their favor, sometimes it just makes them look desperate. For Ruby Rose at the MTV Australia Awards – my verdict is it’s working. As ridiculous as that big rid skirt is, it definitely grabbed my eye. Then to see that it is removable, revealing a pretty chic little gold dress… the effect is quite pleasing.

I’d never in life heard of this chic before, but you can be sure that I Googled her after seeing these photos. I was hoping she was an artist with some killer music. Turns out she’s just an MTV VJ… oh well. NOTE to stars: when you beg the visual attention, please back it up with some interesting product. Please and thanks!

Take a look at some Cult picks from the red carpet. Now, not all of these people had stellar success with their looks. But if they weren’t chic, they at least tried something interesting. We’ll let Cult darling Janelle Monae lead the way…

Audrina Patridge is looking a bit too thin here, but her belted dress and easy chignon are so good that we’ll give her a pass for those platforms she’s wearing (luckily, you can’t see too much of them).

Grammy winner Jennifer Hudson was incredibly sophisticated and fashion forward. She looked great in a sparkling black number when she sang as well.
