Jennifer Morrison in Kristian Aadnevik | 2013 Billboard Music Awards

WHO: Jennifer Morrison
WHERE & WHEN: 2013 Billboard Music Awards on May 19, 2013.
WEARING: Kristian Aadnevik dress, Edie Parker clutch

MY VERDICT: It was almost as if “Once Upon a Time” star Jennifer Morrison was still riding off of her punked out mood from the MET Gala earlier this month when she turned up at this year’s Billboard Music Awards. The 34-year-old actress stepped out on the blue carpet wearing a very daring dress contraption by Kristian Aadnevik.

Jen wore a racy black bustier corset bodysuit from Aadnevik’s Fall 2013 collection with an attached sheer chiffon floor-length skirt. Due to the barely there fabric, I have no doubt that Jennifer was comfortable in the Las Vegas heat. I know I should probably say that her dress needed to be lined, but I think that would have taken away from the look severely. I only wish that the fabric of the skirt had been a little darker so that it didn’t come off as sheer, because otherwise it’s just one of those thins that looks better on the runway. | continue reading..

WHERE & WHEN: 2013 Billboard Music Awards on May 19, 2013.
WEARING: Fendi

MY VERDICT: I always look forward to seeing what Chloe wears because she always seems to have so much fun with her look. As a presenter for the Billboard Music Awards the focus wasn’t on the “Carrie” star, and therefore she got to choose her dress without too much pressure. The end result? A playful Fendi patchwork dress from the Spring 2013 collection.

First things first, I love that she shortened the dress to accommodate her petite figure—I also loved the addition of a wide black leather belt as it added some edge. I prefer the bottom design of the skirt to the top because of the cool shutter stripe pattern and muted colors, but overall I like it so much more on Chloe than I did on the runway.

As for her hair and makeup? Both were good–I wish she had done more with her hair.

Chloe completed her look with adorable black and white beaded Fendi sandals and a awesome dark green nail color.

Jennifer Nettles in EDITION by Georges Chakra | 2013 Billboard Music Awards

WHO: Jennifer Nettles
WHERE & WHEN: 2013 Billboard Music Awards on May 19, 2013.
WEARING: Edition by Georges Chakra dress, Casadei shoes, Swarovski clutch & Norman Silverman jewelry.

MY VERDICT: Jennifer shined brightly on the blue carpet for the Billboard Music Awards in a soft pink satin EDITION by Georges Chakra gown. The Sugarland singer selected this Spring 2013 scuba-cut design, which features a pretty gold chevron sequin pattern panel down the left side of her leg that’s framed by silver sequin detail traveling throughout the waist and back.

The dress is very pretty, but the problem with this kind of fabric is that there can be a lot of bunching that occurs pretty easily. I wish Jennifer had a smoother fit around the midsection because she looked so lovely in this gown. There’s also an extra panel of lining poking out through the sleeveless opening of her bodice that wasn’t seen on the model. I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be there or not, but I wish it wasn’t.

Jen wore her blonde tresses loosely swept up and pinned, before completing her look with a makeup palette made up of soft rose tones and an assortment of delicate, sparkling diamond Norman Silverman fine jewelry.

Ke$ha in Givenchy | 2013 Billboard Music Awards

WHO: Ke$ha
WHERE & WHEN: 2013 Billboard Music Awards on May 19, 2013.
WEARING: Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci dress, Palladium jewelry

MY VERDICT: I honestly thought my eyes were playing tricks on me when I saw Ke$ha on the livestream during the red blue carpet arrivals for the Billboard Music Awards. The “Crazy Kids” singer topped my worst dressed list for last year due to her assortment of oddly put together printed ensembles, but she somehow managed to almost completely clean up her look.

Ke$ha wore a black silk ruffled Givenchy sleeveless dress, from the Spring 2013 collection that was originally presented with a single sleeve and partnered with pants on the runway. She wore her long blonde hair back in a sleek ponytail to accommodate the high neck design—with an equally high slit at the left thigh.

I don’t see that many ruffles and tight fabric around the neck being too flattering, or comfortable for that matter, on anyone—along with the shapeless area around the waist. That’s probably my biggest qualm with the look; it’s not so much how Ke$ha looks in it as it is the fact that I’m not a big fan of the dress. Because, quite frankly, she was styled pretty well here.

She accessorized with two Palladium rings that matched her delicate bangles and diamond earrings. This look was then complete with a subtle neutral makeup palette and nude ankle strap leather sandals.

Jennifer Lopez in Zuhair Murad Couture | 2013 Billboard Music Awards

WHO: Jennifer Lopez
WHERE & WHEN: 2013 Billboard Music Awards on May 19, 2013.
WEARING: Zuhair Murad Couture dress, Christian Louboutin shoes & Le Vian jewelry.

MY VERDICT: Jennifer Lopez wore head-to-toe gold to the Billboard Music Awards. Naturally. The “Live It Up” singer (which, bee-tee-dubbs, I’ve had that song on repeat all weekend) wowed on-lookers when she hit the blue carpet wearing a Zuhair Murad gold halter gown with a plunging neck and an intricate pattern of hand-beaded feathers that sporadically splatter into a sheer skirt. This daring dress comes from the designer’s Spring 2013 Haute Couture collection.

I wasn’t shocked, but I wasn’t let down either. This is what JLO does—and she does it well. There are few women that I feel could truly pull this gown off but, thankfully, she is one of them. In fact, Jen is the highest on the list.

She wore her long honey-highlighted tresses back off her neck before completing the look with bronze makeup, diamond jewelry, gold Christian Louboutin ankle strap pointed toe pumps, and a matching box clutch.

WHO: Taylor Swift
WHERE & WHEN: 2013 Billboard Music Awards on May 19, 2013.
WEARING: Zuhair Murad dress, Jimmy Choo shoes

MY VERDICT: Taylor made quite the sparkling arrival on the blue carpet for the Billboard Music Awards in a gorgeous Zuhair Murad long sleeve beaded mini dress. The Pre-Fall 2013 design includes a sexy sheer paneled back to match the little razor sharp insets all over the shattered pattern.

I certainly wouldn’t say this is something new from the “22″ singer. In fact, she pretty much wore this same concept at the American Music Awards last fall. But, having said that, she still looks great as this style generally works for her. This also happens to be one of those dresses that I imagine would look beautiful short or full length—it’s just that good. | continue reading..

WHO: Miley Cyrus
WHERE & WHEN: 2013 Billboard Music Awards on May 19, 2013.
WEARING: Balmain jumpsuit, Givenchy shoes

MY VERDICT: Could Miley be the best dressed star at this year’s Billboard Music Awards. Probably. No, definitely. The 20-year-old singer, who will be debuting her new single “We Can’t Stop” this summer, looked amazing in a white crochet sleeveless Balmain jumpsuit with glittering black diamond panels at the chest and legs, as well as a cutout version in the center of the back.

This Spring 2013 design has been a long-time favorite of mine, so I was already excited about her wearing it–but, I was thrilled to see it done justice. I love a good jumpsuit and this design is sick. The androgynous rock star vibe suited Miley’s swept pixie cut. | continue reading..

WHO: Stana Katic
WHERE & WHEN: 2013 Billboard Music Awards on May 19, 2013.
WEARING: Nicholas Oakwell Couture jumpsuit, Nicholas Kirkwood for Nicholas Oakwell shoes & Vhernier jewelry.

MY VERDICT: Stana added fuel to my jumpsuit obsession at the Billboard Music Awards when she rocked the red blue carpet in a sleeveless one piece by Nicholas Oakwell Couture. The “CBGB” star opted for a white jumpsuit with silver beaded detailing, a mirrored honeycomb belt–and a daring plunging neckline. This non-presented look comes from the designer’s Spring 2013 line.

Considering such a form fitting top, I love how the pants are tailored with a bit of a wide leg. It creates a cool balance, and almost makes it seem laid back despite how glamorous it truly is. This jumpsuit flawlessly fit Stana like a glove.

It also inspired me to hit the gym immediately. I mean, seriously.

Stana accessorized with diamond and emerald jewels from Vhernier, before completing her look with intense black lined eyes, a glossy nude pout, a dark green manicure, and voluminous shoulder length curls. What do you think of her shorter locks?

WHO: Selena Gomez
WHERE & WHEN: 2013 Billboard Music Awards on May 19, 2013.
WEARING: Atelier Versace dress, Jimmy Choo shoes

MY VERDICT: Selena was one of the first to hit the blue carpet at the Billboard Music Awards where she is set to perform her new single “Come and Get It”. The 20-year-old “Spring Breakers” star opted for a daring white floor length dress from the Atelier Versace Spring 2013 collection with sheer spiraling illusion panels at the front and back and fluorescent bordering trim in pink, lime, and yellow. I wouldn’t label this as one of my favorite looks from her, but it’s a fun dress–very futuristic, and as one of my readers pointed out–it’s totally reminiscent of the wardrobe in the 1999 Disney Channel movie “Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century”.

Then again, it also looks like she’s wearing a bunch of glow sticks. | continue reading..

WHERE & WHEN: 2013 Billboard Music Awards on May 19, 2013.
WEARING: Tom Ford

MY VERDICT: Hmm. This was definitely not how I saw that skirt being worn the first time I saw it on the red blue carpet. Jenny paired the edgy cutout dark blue lurex long skirt by Tom Ford—from the designer’s Spring 2013 collection, with a hiked-up low-cut black camisole for the Billboard Music Awards.

I see what Jenny was trying to do, and wearing a simple black tank with this skirt isn’t a bad idea at all—but, choose your top carefully. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen the doppelganger of this outfit on Vanessa Hudgens in candids of her running errands around West Hollywood. In a nutshell, even though I really dig the skirt—the outfit was way too casual for this award show. I’m not saying she needed to wear a blouse with a slinky cutaway skirt, but she didn’t need to wear a top that was both a midriff and low-cut.

It was too much.

Layered necklaces, heavily lined eyes, a pale pink pout, and tumbling wavy tresses completed Jenny’s look.
