2013 Billboard Music Awards

Ahh award season. The best time of the year. We get to see the beautiful extravagant gowns on our favourite (or not so favourite) celebs, with their gorgeous tamed locks, sun kissed tan, and flawless make-up. And then, there’s everybody else.

Here are the top 3 best and worst dressed for the Billboard Music Awards.

BEST:

Hayden Panettiere – Firstly, she has nailed it with the black (of course you are going to get in my top 3 with black). Secondly it’s formal, but not too formal. Thirdly the gold clutch and hair down, make this look work. I think that a lot of women would be a fan of this dress, as there is nothing to fault about it. Fourthly, does this dress come in a size 8?

Selena Gomez – Now everyone that knows me knows that I am not a big fan of colour, can we make these fluro colours disappear? Minus the flecks of fluros, this dress is a good look for the former Beibs’ girlfriend. The split in the leg, I love. The flash of the strappy silver shoes, I love. Her hair does need to look a little neater, considering that she is not going to a party, but a red carpet. Not everyone will be able to pull off this look (a lot of Hollywood tape is needed, but not even tape can  lift your breasts from gravitation), and the dress is quite fitted around the tummy. But if you are lucky enough to have the body to pull of this white look, you are sure to turn some heads.

Shania Twain – I am going to pretend that we are not at the Oscar’s (aka super formal), and I am also going to pretend that the knot on the torso of the dress isn’t there, because in your own words ‘that don’t impress me much’. However, I am sucker for a train. I love the colour of this, I love how your hair is down, but my number one this is the draping. The detail in the bodice is amazing (other designers take note). This dress is age-appropriate and flatters her body (man, she feels like a woman). Minus the knot, I would 110% wear this dress. Claps to Shania’s stylist.

WORST:

Alyssa Milano – Remind me again why she was invited? From the waist up you think, this is a not-so chic one shoulder Kimono-esque dress, teed with green (yes green) earrings, and a hairstyle that was completed by the apprentice; but from the waist down, a whole other story. When has a ‘Drouser’ (dress  trouser) been in fashion? Not to mention one that is wide in the leg, and sheer. Alyssa may have had magical powers in Charmed, but nothing can save her from appearing on this list. Well done Alyssa!

Jenny Mccarthy – No matter how flat your tummy is, if you are over the age of 30, and you are not by the swimming pool, we don’t want to see your stomach. Jenny is a mother, and if my Mum walked out of the house, let alone stumbled onto a red carpet with her stomach on show, I would be beyond embarrassed. Not only do we have the exposed stomach issue, we have a skirt that looks like it has been caught on the fence on her way out of her house. A short tank top, and a ripped skirt is definitely not red carpet worthy in my books.

Nayer – Where to start here? The long sleeve gloves? Bringing her dog onto the red carpet? Or that horrible jumpsuit. This jumpsuit is exposing way too much information for the red carpet, and the hood…is that really necessary? Someone needs to fire her stylist.

Whether you dress poorly because you are:
a) vision impaired
b) have a stylist that shares a similarity to Pinoccio
c) live by the motto ‘any publicity, is good publicity’; or
d) all of the above

You have officially made it to the Worst Dressed list (note: I would not be adding this to your Resume).
