Teen Choice Awards 2011: Red Carpet Score Board

Tyra Banks: 0/10

2 words: No Comment

Kim K: 2/10

Kim needs to realize that she's in her thirties now and soon to be married woman. So there is no need to dress like you're three at her age. The mini feather skirt was in trend for like 2 seconds 2 years ago, plus the unflattering halter top is just confusing. Love the pointy toes though (dislike that they're black).

Zooey Deschanel: 3/10

Don't even know what to say. First off I love Zooey (can't wait for her new show!), and I totally
understand her quirky cute style sense, but this outfit is just soooo boring. A mumsy dress to a hip awards show what? And those god awful shoes (I think they're Miu Miu..), make her feet look like hoofs.

Selena Gomez: 4/10

This is so sad for me because I usually really like what Selena wears. But her look tonight just didn't go together at all. The dress looks cheap and the mix match of similar colors (what color is that even?) is weird. I like that she added a pop of purple with her clutch but it far from saves this outfit. And don't even get me started on those Bakers ish heels.

Rachel Bilson: 5/10

Okay let me begin by saying everyone has there off days. Even a stylish star like Rachel (one of my style icons in fact) mess it up every once in a while. The pretty-ness of the white frock doesn't pair well with the spiked nude booties. There needed some sort of color somewhere. This look had no vision behind it. But at least she finally styled her hair ha

Ashley Greene: 5/10

Proportions is one of the most important aspects of styling a stunning outfit, and that's where Ashley went wrong tonight. The length of the white top (is that a top?) doesn't flatter her hip area and the pencil skirt is both boring and very "out" in the fashion world. I get that she was probably going for the whole "minimalistic" approach, but it looks more "secretary at a meeting" to me. This is an awards show for Pete's sake.

Demi Lavato: 6/10

Yes Demi does look a whole lot better than she has in years, but at some point you just have to put the tanning spray down. The citrus colors make her almost orange skin tone stand out even more. Plus the Miss America hair is way too New Jersey Housewife for my taste. That being said, I do love the lace dress and coordinating bright pumps.

Nikki Reed: 7/10

I actually think Nikki looks better than ever in this boho inspired 70's printed dress. Typically her red carpet looks are quite boring and uninspired but this draped maxi is perfect for her olive skin tone and build. Great hair as well. The only thing though is that she kind of looks more suited for a Hampton's beach party than a LA awards show.

Zoe Saldana: 8/10

Love Zoe! But I loved her slightly (only slightly) less tonight. I'm not a fan of mixing metallics so the silverish dress and the gold pumps threw me off. BUT, I adore the length and the style of the dress and the fun belt. Also her hair is perfectly done as usual. Being one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood seems to have it perks.

Taylor Swift: 9/10

Taylor has a formula that she's perfected to the tee: sparkly, white, red lip, floral and flouncy is her motto. And I'm still buying it. People may say she's one note (which I agree with pertaining to her music!), but her style is flawless IMO. I love the a-line skirt and slight crystal detail in the belt. Simple and stunning.

Kaley Cuoco: 10/10

Love this head to toe! Kaley is the dark horse in red carpet fashion. People don't realize it, but she has such great taste when it comes to dressing to the nines. I would totally wear this dress, and I love how simply elegant yet trendy it is with all the tiers. Amazing hair and perfect makeup make this host stake her ground for sure.

Fergie: 15/10

Okay, most folks may not understand Fergie crazy wacky style but I happen to love it. She always changes her look up and delightfully surprises me every red carpet event. Her killer legs are showcased in this quirky D&G star mini (who says you can't wear a mini past 30?). She was one of the only stars (no pun intended) who had fun with their ensemble. Pointy toes (my current shoe weakness) and tamed hair complete this stunning look.

Blake Lively: 20/10

Leo or no Leo, Blake is one fashion powerhouse. Looking regal beyond her youthful years, Blake stuns once again in this delightful orange dress and leopard printed pointy toe heels (a trend it seems tonight). The mix of color and print is spot on (again, no pun intended haha), and her shiny hair is divine. She is my front runner as usual.

AMA's: Style Awards

"What Happened?! Award: The title says it all. I didn't even recognize Katy Perry at first. Yes her look is very nice, but it doesn't suit her flamboyant personality at all. It's like marriage has sucked the life out of her. There is no color, no shine, no pizazz whatsoever. I mean I usually don't like Katy's crazy style , but at least it stood out. This is just so disappointing.


"Nice But Lacking Award": Like Katy Perry before her, Pink doesn't look like herself. I dislike the grandma colored hair and the lackluster dress. The dress does give her a nice shape and even though it's black, its still too "demure" for Pink. I can't fault her completely because she is trying to conceal her baby bump, but I've seen better maternity gowns than this. I love when she wears such strong rock and roll outfits, and this isn't it.



"Trying Too Hard Award": Don't even get me started on this family. I totally respect Will Smith, but I just think he shouldn't be pushing his daughter into fashion and fame so quickly. Yes her new single is topping every chart, but her looks always scream, "give me attention" not "take me seriously". It's Halloween everyday for this family apparently. Jaden, the most Conservative in this picture, even is way over the top. Jada looks like a mid evil warrior princess and her dress is too tight on her chest. And poor Willow looks like a space alien in pirate boots. Soo wrong overall.


"Best of the Night Awards": Mandy Moore and Whitney Port had my tow favorite looks on the red carpet.Mandy matched her dress with the perfect pair of nude heels, looking simple yet chic. And Whitney looked so regal in his draped dress and great accessories. This is one of the first Whitney looks that I actually like. Even her hair and makeup is perfection. It's kinda funny that the two people can aren't considered "rock stars", rocked the American Music Awards.

"On the Fence Award": I can't decide whether I like this look on Fergie or not. Personally I am not a fan of the dress, but it looks stunning on Fergie's amazing body and suits her personality. I don't like the blue and the black together and I think the sleeves look wrong, but otherwise it's an okay look. Boring shoes though:(

"Almost There Award": Oh man, she was so close! I love this Marchesa mini dress on Miley but the train is just so unnecessary and looks over thought. Her hair looks nice for once and doesn't have crazy unkempt extensions. Overall she looks mature and sophisticated and not like she's trying to be something she's not. Props Miley.

"Right Dress, Wrong Hair Award": I love this sheer applique Elie Saab Haute Couture dress on Rihanna but it's color is too old and dull for my taste. I dislike how she matched her hair with the dress. It seems like she dyed her hair darker, which I am unsure if I like or not. I also can't stand those curls; it's too Dian Ross and Whitney Houston for Rihanna's youthful vibe. Not a perfect look by any means.

"Head Turner Award": Taylor Swift surprised everyone by wearing her hair straight. And I must say that I absolutely love it! She looks so mature and dare I say sexy in this sparkly number. The girl does like shine and silver, and she definitely stood by that tonight. I keep thinking of Taylor as this young teenager and thought it was kinda creepy that she was dating Jake, but in this look, I am kinda alright with that now. Love!

Red Carpet: CMAs 2010

Kelly Pickler: This gold sequin Pamella Roland gown fits Kelly to perfection. Even though we have seen this type of dress many times on the carpet, Kelly wears hers well. The flawless waves, curve hugging shape, and engagement bling makes this look one of my favorites of the night.

Gwyneth Paltrow: I am quite perplexed by Gwyneth's choice of dress. It's not to say its bad, but just not something we usually see her in. The actress is normally known for her high fashion tight bodycon looks, so this sweeping ombre gown is refreshing. She has an amazing body so the cutout and high slit is gorgeous on her. Simple hair and confidence finishes this great outfit.

Jennifer Nettles: This is definitely one of my top favorite looks because the watercolor dress is so unique. I always look forward to what Jennifer will wear and tonight she didn't disappoint in the least. Sans the bad eyeshadow, she looks simply stunning.

Taylor Swift: Of course Taylor looks great as always but I am bored. She always choices a sequin or red dress so I just wish she would change it up a bit. That said, the Monique Lhuillier gown fits her wonderfully and her hair look lovely.

Julianne Hough: I don't know what to think about this dress. Julianne looks like she's been engulfed by smoke. Its either that or a belated evil witch Halloween outfit. It looks like cheap material and doesn't do anything for her great figure. Too much going on.

Sheryl Crow: I am yawning when looking at this look. It's so causal and the design at the bottom makes no sense. The colors are dull and lifeless for such a vibrant woman. The only thing I like is her hair.

Joanna Garcia: I love this gown and how comfortable it looks. The color is absolutely amazing on her skin tone. The only thing though is that the dress and the hair seem too causal for such a big event. But even still, she looks great.

Leann Rimes: Where do I even start with this look? Leann looks like a cross between a sea monster and a warrior princess. The length and the detail of the dress just doesn't work. Even her booties scream "trying too hard". Her hair is okay but overall I dislike the whole outfit since it doesn't fit the CMAs.


Carrie Underwood: Carrie always manages to change it up on the red carpet and I can only give her props for that. This Talbot Runhof gown may be a little too extreme for my taste but
she doesn't get lost inside of it. Crazy ruffles and layers aside, the superstar singer looks great and the gun mental hue is amazing.

Leighton Meester: Yes finally a fashion forward look on the red carpet from none other than Gossip Girl star Leighton. Know for her daring fashion choices, this Emillo Pucci gown is a nice change. The short length in the front shows off her fabulous nude heels and she just looks so relaxed and effortless. Her makeup is too minimal but overall this is by far my favorite look.
Thanks for bringing style to the much needed country flooded red carpet!
