Style Round-Up: Billboard Music Awards
Sheer to sparkly, there was a little bit of everything at last night’s Billboard Music Awards. Few surprises rocked the carpet—there were the typical mix of over-the-top gowns and utter confusion (Usher, I’m looking at you. A white belt and turquoise suit? What is this 2001?), but the biggest look of the night had to belong to Taylor Swift.

Swift, who for the first time in living memory steered away from nude, gold or beige-toned anything and opted instead for a stunning scarlet Eli Saab dress with a lace-paneled bodice and flowing skirt. Needless to say, she rocked it. Carrie Underwood appeared to be channeling every Disney princess at once in Oscar de la Renta gown, pairing the pouf-y confection with a glittering clutch.

My least favorite looks of the night belonged to Julianne Hough and Zooey Deschanel. Julianne, who appeared to wearing a sequined bath towel and metallic pumps (and managed to look quite lovely in them), seemed more ready for a night of dancing than a red carpet. I’m pretty sure Zooey has worn this exact same outfit, mini dress, black tights and pumps several hundred times over.

Brandy took a different approach to the ubiquitous bandage dress with a neutral-hued Herve Leger dress featuring a plunging neckline and fringed (!) bottom. And Natasha Bedingfield went all out in a frothy blue number that had sheer elements and embellishments. I’m still not sure how I feel about it. On one hand, it’s bold, gorgeous color and totally show stopping. On the other, well, it’s bold, bright and sheer. I’m conflicted. What was your favorite look of the night?
