Kristen Stewart Smiles on the Red Carpet at 2011 MTV Movie Awards

Kristen Stewart surprised us all when she actually smiled at the MTV Movie Awards tonight! The starlet looked great in an orange beaded dress with a flirty blowout and black heels.

The starlet was a winner tonight during the show too: She and Robert Pattinson won Best Kiss for the third time in a row! She didn't get a kiss from her leading man, but Rob did give a kiss to Taylor Lautner after running down to him in the audience. Oh my.

The 2011 MTV Movie Awards on June 5th at 9 EST promise a fun, light-hearted cinematic night with SNL host Jason Sudeikis. Some highlights to watch out for: Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson being in the same room, Emma Watson giving a first-time sneak preview of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and a much-anticipated Best Kiss Award. The youthful evening will also feature an appearance from mid-scandal celeb Blake Lively and performances from Lupe Fiasco, Trey Songz and the Foo Fighters.

Emmys Red Carpet Embroidery

The Emmys Red carpet reports are all over the internet. Polls for if they were hot or not, best bag, best shoes, best boobs, etc.   As a couture embroidery designer, my quickie report will report on just that.  My top 3 gowns where I liked the embroidery.  That's it.  So here they are:

Anna Paquin's Alexander McQueen polarized fashion enthusiasts, but I loved the antiqued metal paillettes and beads.  The overlapping embroidery mixed with beads created a sculpted effect that reminded me of Egyptian royalty or ancient armor.

Modern Family was the surprise upset winner for Best Comedy series.  Sophia Vergara was every bit the victor in this dazzling Carolina Herrera gown.  The embroidery was a mix of different sized sequins emanating from the center front.  The center front of the gown was encrusted with gold beads.

Emily Blunt was stunning in this Christian Dior gown.  The layers of chiffon flowed like a dream.  The asymmetrical embroidery was done by hand in a strategic, artistic layout.  It was a combination of beads, sequins and fabric appliqué that gave the effect of falling shells and pearls.
