And even though she was literally covered in them, the 32-year-old still saw the need to wear one on her wrist.

One to watch: Christina Ricci drew glances with her timepiece adorned dress at the MTV Movie Awards
Flamboyant fashion designer Christian Siriano created the outfit, which he covered in crystals, beads, buttons and fully working Timex watches.
The thrilled fashionista told People: 'This was a cool challenge.
“Working with such unconventional materials, you want to make the dress look fashion-forward and interesting without being campy.”
The base of her dress was derived from one of his fall frocks, which was selected by the pint-sized actress' stylist Brad Goreski

And he said for a man of his talent, adding 25 watch faces to the material over the course of three days was not problem.
Christian said: 'They sewed on just like any other kind of big stone, which was helpful.'
The dedicated designer sifted through nearly 1,500 watches, to find ones that fit the eccentric Pan Am star's guidelines.
He said: 'We wanted to make it feel very delicate and vintage inspired, and Christina wanted it to feel almost like an antique piece of jewelry She likes to be sexy and glamorous.'

The camp 26-year-old Project Runway winner said he also had to find a way to flatter the diminutive star, who claims to be 5'1.
He said: 'The dress is short, and she’s little, so it was a challenge to find a good balance: to make sure that it wasn’t so overwhelming, but that the watches were represented.'
The reality television personality also said he was thrilled to finally get a chance to work with the Addams Family Values favourite.
He said: 'I’ve always said that she’s been on my top 10 list of girls to dress. So it was really amazing that this worked out.”
