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..

WHO: Selena Gomez
WHERE & WHEN: 1st Annual Radio Disney Music Awards, held on April 27, 2013.
WEARING: Vince top, Blumarine skirt & Nicholas Kirkwood shoes.

MY VERDICT: After showing off a sexier side at the MTV Movie Awards earlier this month, Selena kept it a bit more PG when she attended the first annual Radio Disney Music Awards in a black and white printed draped Blumarine mini skirt, from the Fall 2013 collection, with pops of pink and orange.

The “Come and Get It” singer clearly took inspiration from the way it was styled on the runway by tucking in a short sleeve black leather top by Vince. Although the top could have fit better and the skirt needed to be righted, | continue reading..

WHO: Selena Gomez
WHERE & WHEN: 2013 MTV Movie Awards held on April 14, 2013.
WEARING: Julien Macdonald dress, Jimmy Choo shoes & Joan Hornig earrings.

MY VERDICT: Selena broke out the head-to-toe gold for her arrival at the MTV Movie Awards, which she performed on for the first time to debut her new single “Come and Get It”. The 20-year-old “Spring Breakers” actress highlighted her sun-kissed skin with a long-sleeve illusion net dress by Julian Macdonald that was embroidered with dripping beaded fringe. This micro-mini frock comes from the designer’s Fall 2013 collection. It’s not common that I like a dress more on the red carpet than I did on the runway, but I really feel like Selena enhanced it. The pale metallic actually brightened up against her complexion and dark hair and didn’t look as see-through as it did on the catwalk model. | continue reading..

WHO: Selena Gomez
WHERE & WHEN: “Spring Breakers” Los Angeles Press Conference on March 22, 2013.
WEARING: OSMAN by Osman Yousefzada dress, Brian Atwood shoes & Melinda Maria jewelry.

MY VERDICT: Selena has me itching for some spring days!  Between the heavy amount of promotion for her new movie “Spring Breakers”—and now this adorable sunny dress, she has me yearning for the first day of consistent warm weather.   The 20-year-old beauty posed for a special photo session, during the Los Angeles press conference to support the film, wearing a pretty pale yellow sleeveless cocktail dress with a front panel of gold embroidery from OSMAN by Osman Yousefzada collection.

A similar ivory version was seen during the designer’s Fall 2013 collection, and paired with a short cape providing full coverage. | continue reading..

WHO: Selena Gomez
WHERE & WHEN: Nickelodeon’s 26th Annual Kids’ Choice Awards on March 23, 2013.
WEARING: Oscar de la Renta top and shorts, Gucci shoes & a Diane von Furstenbergclutch.

MY VERDICT: As if I couldn’t be more excited for spring weather to finally arrive and this 38 degree craziness to disappear, Selena just had to wear this adorable Oscar de la Renta outfit to the Kids’ Choice Awards!  The “Spring Breakers” starlet was thinking along the same lines as Kristen Stewart and opted for comfortable, yet dressed up, shorts.  Selena selected a pretty pale turquoise silk gazar peplum top with white textured cotton linen shorts from the Spring/Summer 2013 collection.  A similar embellished pink ensemble was seen on the runway as well as a white version of her top.

WHO: Selena Gomez
WHERE & WHEN: “Spring Breakers” Hollywood Premiere on March 14, 2013.
WEARING: Reem Acra dress, Giuseppe Zanotti sandals, a Jimmy Choo clutch & Lorraine Schawrtz jewels.

MY VERDICT: After including this gorgeous red Reem Acra on two of my award show wish lists recently, Selena finally brought my favorite gown from the Spring 2013 collection to the red–er pink carpet for the Hollywood premiere of “Spring Breakers”.  The beautiful 20-year-old stepped out in the sleeveless gathered flowing gown, which features stunning illusion beaded paneling at the neckline, back, and sides.  As far as the dress goes, Selena made a brilliant choice, but as for the rest of the look–there could have been some improvements.

The makeup was pretty, the long gold deco earrings were distracting, the black clutch is too stark in contrast, but most of all–I wasn’t a fan of the hairstyle.  I could tell she was going for a sexy ‘undone’ look, but there’s too much hair falling from the front that it just looks uneven.  Selena would have been better over leaving it all up in a loose chignon, a fun ponytail, or all out in glamorous waves–similar to what we saw at SXSW recently.

WHO: Selena Gomez
WHERE & WHEN: “Spring Breakers” 2013 SXSW Music – Film + Interactive Festival Premiere on March 10, 2013.
WEARING: Dolce & Gabbana top and skirt, Giuseppe Zanotti shoes & Melinda Maria jewelry.

MY VERDICT: We’ve seen countless celebrities embrace and promote the midriff trend on the red carpet over the last year, but no one does it quite like Selena Gomez.  The 20-year-old actress attended the SXSW premiere of “Spring Breakers” and showed off her trim figure in a Dolce & Gabbana tropical floral bustier crop top with pale blue cup accents and a matching high-waist orange pencil skirt, both from the Spring 2013 collection.  Sel wore her long brunette locks pulled to the side in full cascading waves and brightened up her pout with a neon coral lip color.

I love how bright and vibrant the whole outfit was–it just makes me even more excited for spring and summer style! | continue reading..

WHO: Selena Gomez
WHERE & WHEN: 2013 Vanity Fair Oscar Party on February 24, 2013.
WEARING: Atelier Versace dress, Jimmy Choo shoes, Judith Leiber clutch

MY VERDICT:  After coming off an international press tour for her new movie “Spring Breakers” last week, Selena made it back to Hollywood in time for the Vanity Fair Oscar party where she donned a little couture.  The 20-year-old cutie arrived wearing a frothy shimmering pale nude gown from the Fall 2012 Atelier Versace collection, which included quite the ‘boosting’ bustier and a draped, full skirt.  Although Sel carries the dress well thanks to her slim and tall figure, I still don’t think it’s the best choice for her.

Something just feels off, but at this point I’m not sure if it’s the actual dress or the hair and accessories.  | continue reading..

WHO: Vanessa Hudgens
WHERE & WHEN: “Spring Breakers” photocall in Madrid, Spain on February 21, 2013.
WEARING: Katharine Kidd top and skirt, Jerome C. Rousseau shoes

MY VERDICT: I was hoping it would happen, and it did. Vanessa wore a really, really cute outfit to the Madrid photocall of her new movie “Spring Breakers”.  The 24-year-old actress didn’t try to over-do it with a voluminous fit or too much going on this time around when she stepped out in a lightweight white Chantilly lace long sleeve crop top and matching a-line skirt by Katharine Kidd, from the designer’s Spring 2013 collection.  It was trendy, young, flattering, and most of all–really cute.

Vanessa coordinated with the laid back feel of the look by styling her shoulder-length tresses in bouncy waves and finishing it all off with a pop of color.  | continue reading..

WHO: Selena Gomez
WHERE & WHEN: “Spring Breakers” premiere in Madrid, Spain on February 21, 2013.
WEARING: Dolce & Gabbana dress and jewelry from Dana Rebecca Designs & J/Hadley.

MY VERDICT:  Is it too early to already call my favorite look for Selena Gomez on the “Spring Breakers” press tour? I’m going to go with “no” and express my love for the Dolce & Gabbana black lace bustier gown she wore.  The 20-year-old flaunted her curves in the sexy corset gown, which featured strips of satin panel embroidery that traveled down into the train.  It was so minimal and classic, but also very sexy without being overtly so.

I like that Sel styled her long hair up in a loose bun to show off her added pop of color—her earrings!  | continue reading..
