Partly Well Played, Malin Akerman

Love the hair, makeup, and gams, Malin, but the dress itself is pretty blah:

In theory I don't object to the slouchy top and mini, but this one is so languidly draped as to look lazy and tired and kind of bored of being itself. All that bunching in the front seems unsure of where it's supposed to hang, yet too disinterested to figure out an alternative. It's like a giant satin jowl.

Which is what makes her shoe choice that much more brilliant. Because when you have a dress that refuses to wake up from its hanger nap and sparkle, it never hurts to whip out some serious hooves:

Those are kind of VICIOUSLY awesome. Apparently they're Prada, and I am compelled to reiterate that a pair of shoes like these -- not exactly these, but something with equal drama and interest -- might have elevated Kristen Stewart's miserable ensemble from the MTV awards from "schlumpy" to "pretty damn passable." I mean, they're crazy, all right. Her heels look like they're wearing a centurion's helmet, and if that blister on her right foot and the popped-out angle of her left are any indication, they may not be comfortable. But WHO CARES. Somewhere, Posh Spice is dialing her cell phone angrily, demanding to know why nobody offered her these first. So full marks to Malin for bringing the foot drama, and for knowing it takes a very simple look north of your knees to pull off the shoe version of a mullet: business in front, party in the back.
