Memorable Style Moments: Hullo NURSE. If you've noticed that this "Style Moments" analysis of the MTV Movie Awards male nominees has degenerated into a gauche swoonfest of manmeat ogling, then you would be right because, well, HI, it's Robert Pattinson. We didn't approach the photo research for this post like dressing up Ken dolls or anything but Pattinson's suiting looks were definitely the most memorable and the fact that Edward Robert looks bananas-glorious in combed wool and carded cashmere is not our fault. Whether it's a narrow lapel, two-button grey wool suit with a symmetrical (dare I say, Windsor?) knot in a wine tie or a tuxedo with a peaked lapel that matches the oh-so-tempted-to-touch (word to Kevin Little) spikiness of his newly shorn hair or an adventurously dyed brownish cashmere suit, R. Pattz is a dream.

Memorable Style Moments: Taylor Lautner gets a lot of praise for his rippling pecs and washboard abs (named THE top dude on People Magazine's 50 Amazing Bodies list last year), but the guy really does also know how to wear clothes (even if millions prefer that he wouldn't...mmm... running in the raiiiin). Taylor knew this unexpected grey-and-navy combo would work after wearing it during the entirety of The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3-D, but this time the look reads less infinitely aquatic. He knows how to dress up a V-neck and jeans with dress shoes and a blazer and even sports a few subtle chains 'round his neck. Generally speaking, dudes usually shy away from man-jewelry, but Taytay is a risk-taker and honestly, with his physique, he could probably make a tutu look masculine. He also knows that sometimes the old stand-bys are all you need, and wows in an all-charcoal suit and tie with a crisp white button-up.
