The 2014 Teen Choice Awards aired Sunday night. And NO, I am not a teen, but my interest in the award show was mainly for the red (blue?!) carpet looks on these rising young stars and starlets! Right off the bat, I was a little worried at actually making a list. Some of the first looks I came across seemed too mature for this award show, or were prints I just didn’t care for. But no worries! After going thru as many images as I could find, I’m happy with the many great looks included on my list. So here are my top picks — ENJOY!!
ARIANA GRANDE
No prob in keeping a look basic and simplistically minimal! And what better way to do that than with a LWD! Ariana’s fitted white Georges Chakra Couture mini is beaded perfection. The beaded details at the neck and hemlines really brought out some sparkle to make her look pop! Great job Ari!!
NINA DOBREV
What so many others got wrong, Nina got right! Her look had a great use of color. The print was imaginative and fun, very eye-catching. There was just no denying how stunning she looked in this artsy Vionnet crop-top & shorts look. She coordinated perfectly with hot pink Kurt Geiger pumps and her “Elsie” nude Michael Kors clutch. She also made use of some very luxe jewelry from both Ippolita & David Yurman. And finally, she played up her eye color with Air Optix contacts in Gemstone Green.
SHAY MITCHELL
I’ve seen this look before, ahem Kim. K.! But I’m so glad to see it look the way it should, namely that it appropriately fits the person wearing it! Shay looks like a sexy angelic siren, if that is even possible?? She is rockin’ a lacy white 2-piece Misha Collection number — crop top and knee-length skirt. Her accessories look was very much minimalistic — metallic Jimmy Choo heels, tan Rodo clutch, and silver jewelry pieces from Logan Hollowell.
RITA VOLK — Rita definitely won the award for the best “Pretty in Pink” or “Material Girl” look of the night! Now it never escapes one of my best dressed lists that I don’t have all of the designer details for a given look. But regardless, that will never keep someone off my list! So no clue who Rita is wearing, but she still looks stunning — eye-catching neckline & cutouts! However, I do know that her lovely little diamond studs are from Janet Deleuse!
JANA KRAMER
Learning that Jana had a last minute wardrobe change and still looks this radiant, I mean that’s impossible right?!? Props to her phenomenal stylist Lo Von Rumpf for a job well done! Jana looks like a sexy country darling in this black and white lacy Alexis romper. Coordinating perfectly are her white Sergio Rossi pumps. And not going too over the top, Jana has added in some silver jewelry pieces from both Dionea Orcini and Jacob & Co. And one more additional “Job well done”, for adding to Jana’s radiance, goes to her makeup artist Dave Stanwell.
CANDACE CAMERON BURE
DWTS did wonders for Candace!! She looks so amazingly beautiful and still in such great shape, very happy for her!! LWDs were certainly a trend on the red/blue carpet & for my best dressed list. So Candace didn’t disappoint in her white knee-length frock by L’Agence, complete with a sexy side slit.
SARAH HYLAND
Sarah was the co-host of the evening’s festivities, so more than 1 of her looks has made my list. First up, her blue carpet appearance look, a sparkling Marc Jacobs slip-dress. Paired with this look are Jimmy Choo black sandals and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry.
Sarah looks elegantly chic in this on-stage look, a mint green Emilio Pucci dress, paired with Bionda Castana heels and even more Lorraine Schwartz jewelry!
And Sarah makes it 3 for 3 in another on-stage look, blush pink Emilio Pucci top and shorts, metallic Nicholas Kirkwood heels, & again, more Lorraine Schwartz jewelry!
Alex & Sierra were a dynamic duo on the X-Factor, but are also clearly a force to be reckoned with on the BLUE carpet! Sierra wore a sexy white AQ/AQ dress with jewelry from Jacquie Aiche, Gorjana, and Jennifer Zuener. Alex wore a fun thermometer-printed DSquared2 shirt with waxed Saint Laurent denim.
Ciara Bravo, of Big Time Rush, is a bit of an unknown to me, but still looks great on this blue carpet. She went with a fun tangerine fit and flare Ted Baker dress and nude Steve Madden sandals.
Not a teen, but as always, glamorous and fabulous! J. Lo rocks this lacy emerald Elie Saab mini. And as always, is sportin’ some major bling — Neil Lane jewelry.
BELLA THORNE
Bella Thorne is another who was definitely a hit with a particular type of look, floral print, where others were a miss! She looks chic, fun, and flirty in this sculptural blue FLORAL dress, made just for her — Johnny Wujek for Candies Couture. The “blue” theme continues on with her matching Dior pumps. And keeping it simple, are a few elegant pieces of jewelry from both Suzanne Kalan and Le Vian.
Emily Osment is another rockin’ a LWD, but sadly, also another look I’m not sure of the designer details. But this white knee length dress with a structured bodice looks great on her. I also love her pops of color from her tangerine heels, nails, and lipstick color.
I can ‘t say I love all of these looks equally, but what Fifth Harmony does well is that combined, they all look great together! Standing as a group, I see no bad looks and thus as a group they scream BEST DRESSED! So going left to right, here are the details —
Camila wore a black Balenciaga dress with Fendi shoes.
Dinah wore a fitted black Jovani top, Theory pants, and Giuseppe Zanotti heels.
Lauren wore a 3 + 1 black top, leather Jovani skirt, and Christian Louboutin heels.
Ally wore a sheer McQ by Alexander McQueen top, Balenciaga skirt, and Christian Louboutin heels.
Normani wore a fitted look, a Karolina Zmarlak top, Balenciaga skirt and Christian Louboutin heels.
Gregg Sulkin looks quite sexy in this brown Armani leather jacket — Congrats also on the Faking It win, love that show!!
Tyler Posey is another handsome gentleman gracing the blue carpet and was also the other co-host for the awards show! He looks great in this John Varvatos suit, a more casual look and quite fitting for the night!
Kellan Lutz is the concluding member of my list! He looks sexy hot as always! Not sure who all he is wearing, but love it all, especially the jacket!!
