1 Night, 11 Different Costumes

Eva Longoria hosted the 2010 MTV Europe Awards in Madrid, Spain earlier this week and changed outfits a whopping grand total of 10 times.

Even more miraculous than her never-ending costume changing trick, was the evolution of her hair. She managed nearly every possible hair combination, which I would consider a bigger feat then changing clothes.

One thing all of her outfits had in common: short and tight (with the exception of her "ham dress"- an ode to Lady Gaga).

The actress debuted in a Georges Hobeika Couture silk top with pleats and also later wore the designer when she changed into a tuxedo type outfit with eggplant colored details.

Next up came a more-or-less one piece bathing suit ensemble by Gianfranco Ferre'. The last way I would describe this outfit is modest, to say the least.

Another fan favorite of the night was a red-mini dress the host donned in congratulations to the Spanish National Team which won the World Cup this past year. Considering the show was held in Madrid, it was a nice gesture.

Of the 11 outfits she wore, only 3 were long, but don't worry, they took away as much fabric in other areas of the dress as much as they made them longer. Both of the long Emilio Pucci dresses she choose lacked fabric in significant areas like the front and sides of her dresses. The one other long dress Viktor and Rolf's A/W 2010 collection only remained long until Katy Perry ripped the skirt right off of Longoria to reveal her most revealing outfit yet: an embroidered bodysuit that hardly covered anything on the actress.

My favorite choice of the night was her most conservative- or a better word choice would probably be "least revealing". The giant ham costume she choose was hilarious and a nice break from the endless array of skimpy outfits.

Overall, I do not think a host should need 11 costume changes to keep an audiences attention throughout the night. Ideally, the host should have enough talent to keep them entertained without them wondering "I wonder what she will come out in next?"

Over the years, these shows have become full fledge productions. The performances by special guests rival the special effects and performances from their tours, and the hosts will do nearly anything to keep you interested. It all about being the biggest and the best.

While changing outfits does add some fun to the show, 11 outfits truly is excessive and expensive. At an awards show, I would rather be entertained by the performers than the clothes (my answer changes if you ask about a fashion show, though). What do you think?
