So sparkling


The MTV Movie Awards tend to deliver a certain wow factor every year with a musical performance or outrageous skit of some sort, but this year Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis stole the show. While the two “Friends With Benefits” stars announced the award for best male performance, they decided to prove their platonic status by groping each other’s private parts.

As I gasped in amazement at the utterly ridiculous yet hilarious spectacle, I became transfixed. Not because of the incessant groping, which seemed to go on forever, but because I suddenly — and more importantly — realized that I needed to get my hands on Kunis’ sparkly, 1980s-flashback Balmain miniskirt. Stat.

Kunis has been turning heads at award shows with her fashion choices, such as the jaw-dropping red Alexander McQueen she wore to the SAG Awards well before her “Black Swan” glory days. She’s a pro at going glam with a gown for the Oscars or, as in this case, fun and flirty for an MTV event.

At the MTV awards last Sunday, Kunis wasn’t the only one wearing Balmain. “Twilight” saga star Kristen Stewart wore a red Balmain dress with frenzied safety pin embellishments and “Gossip Girl” vixen Leighton Meester went hyper glam in a Balmain long-sleeved dress.

But Kunis wore Balmain best, in the jewel-bedazzled mini with a dolman-sleeve classic black top and sky-high pale pink platform pumps.

For a look-at-me mini of your own, you can ditch the jewel-embellished pieces. Sequins add just as much bling without the eye-popping price tag. Go for the LaRok flirty sequin camo skirt from Saksfifthavenue.com for $158.99, Tumbled sequin miniskirt from Neimanmarcus.com for $127, smoke sequin miniskirt from Victoriassecret.com for $79.50 or the sequin miniskirt from Express for $59.90.

Kunis’ loose top transforms the mini from night-club status to elegant-party-ready. For a similar top, snag the three-quarter sleeve tee by Juicy Couture for $24.97, three-quarter sleeve dolman from Alloy.com for $14.90 or the three-quarter dolman-sleeve twist tee by C&C California for $24.90.

Kunis’ pale shoes are a great color contrast to her skirt, but it might be fun to play around with the shoes you might already own, so no need to splurge there. Any pair of solid-colored pumps in bright red or even black would work great with this look.
