MY VERDICT: Shania looked absolutely stunning on the blue carpet for the Billboard Music Awards. Wearing possibly the most elegant dress of the night, Shania arrived in a sweet lavender silk strapless PAVONI by Mikael D. gown with a intricate draped effect across the bodice that traveled into a knot that sat low on the waist

The color was so pretty and spring-ready while the fit flattered Shania’s curves, especially the gathering at the skirt that transformed into a beautiful train. I’m not sure how recent this new hair color is for the Country singer, but I know that I’m loving the red tone and super long length. Shania’s cascading curls fell loosely down her back to compliment the ethereal look she was obviously going for–and succeeded.

Matching diamond cuffs on both wrists along with coordinating earrings and a mirrored clutch completed her look.

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 Jupiter Jewelry New York bangles and diamond earrings. This look was then complete with a subtle neutral makeup palette and nude ankle strap leather wedge sandals.

MY VERDICT: I don’t know how Emmy avoided looking like a sweaty mess in her gown under the sweltering Las Vegas sun, but the “Beautiful Creatures” actress looked effortlessly stunning in her beautiful Zuhair Murad gown for the Billboard Music Awards.

Emmy arrived on the blue carpet at the MGM Grand wearing the Fall 2013 long sleeve black velvet gown with a keyhole neckline and sheer polka-dot paneling throughout the sleeves, back, and sides of the skirt. I fell in love with this dress the first time I saw it, but if it were possible–Emmy just made me adore it even more. I love everything about it; from the hourglass shape it takes on to the tough balance of heavy fabric and light peek-a-boo panels.

Emmy completed her look with smouldering smoky eyes, ornate statement jewelry and a elegant up-do.

This is one of those dresses that ends up creating both a dramatic jaw-dropping entrance and an equally captivating exit.

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.

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..

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..

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. | continue reading..

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..

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.

MY VERDICT: We got a double dose of Kaufmanfranco beauty yesterday thanks to Taylor Swift’s mini and Jennifer’s super sexy gown.  The 43-year-old singer selected another white ensemble this evening when she rocked the red carpet in Vegas as she premiered “Parker” on the west coast; she’s wearing a Spring 2013 ice sheer paneled backless column floor-length dress. I think many will be talking about this look for awhile, so I’m just going to go on the record by saying she’s one fierce mama.  I really liked her hair too; JLo always looks great with this swept up style and face-framing loose locks.

She finished off her look with a dark Ferragamo clutch, diamond jewelry, and (as always) her makeup looked great.
