If you’ve ever wondered what Instagram got the most likes this year or who had the most viewed fashion video, then you’ll want to pay attention.
2013 was good to the Internet and if this year was a popularity contest (which, isn’t it always?) and Google was handing out the awards, here’s what the superlatives would look like.
Any awards show whose winners are based on the general public’s votes (as opposed to an academy of some sort) is bound to be terrible. But if a red carpet is involved, I suck it up because it’s not every day I get to judge one of these things. So just sit back, relax and enjoy some good, bad and 90s American Music Awards red carpet fashion.
Katy Perry in Oscar de la Renta
When it comes to awards shows, I’m more about the Oscars, Golden Globes and the Met Gala because booty shorts and mediocre music don’t really get me all that excited. I completely forgot the VMAs were on last night until I stumbled on Twitter between episode 4 and 5 of Orange is the New Black and realized I was missing one terrible Miley Cyrus performance. Then I saw this, and decided a red carpet post indeed had to happen.
Miley Cyrus in Dolce & Gabbana
It’s been a rough 24 hours discussing the “fashion” from last night’s VMAs…and trying to write about it in the nicest way possible (but who am I kidding?)
If you haven’t yet, I highly suggest checking out Red Carpet Fashion: 2011 Video Music Awards (Part 1) before continuing on. But I can’t tell you what to do, so let’s move on…
Adele
Between the tights and the “Big Rich Texas” hair, I just can’t get behind this. She has talent, but getting dressed is not it.
Demi Lovato in Mandalay
This girl has been through a lot lately so I feel bad criticizing her so I will just criticize her stylist. With regards to her age and her figure, this dress has no business being on Demi…and her stylist should know that.
Katie Holmes Azzedine Alaïa
This was so disappointing for me because I absolutely LOVE this dress. But this is a perfect example of how poor styling completely ruins a look. Why would you pair a gorgeous Alaïa dress with these faux hiking boots? It’s mind boggling to me! And someone please get this girl a red carpet coach…this is NOT how to pose when your photo will be circulating around the world almost immediately.
Kreayshawn
I was hoping for some Gucci. Or Fendi. Or Prada. But instead I got Disney.
Louise Roe in Tibi
Gorgeous! Love this girl. Love this dress. Love this dress on this girl.
Mika Newton
Who are you? Why are you here? And what possessed you to wear those shoes?!
Miley Cyrus in Roberto Cavalli
Oh yet another Miley in Cavalli disaster. PLEASE MILEY…if you’re going to try and still be relevant, you need a new stylist/go-to designer. Clearly Roberto isn’t doing it for you.
Zoe Saldana in Barbara Bui
She can do no wrong. Zoe can WERK any look. Love the unconventional pairing of these shoes with this dress. Perfection!

If you haven’t yet, check out part 1 of my red carpet commentary from last night’s Grammy Awards.
And now it’s time for part 2…
Julianne Hough in Malandrino
Standard Malandrino silhouette. Love the print. She looks gorgeous. But I expect something a little more “amped up” for the Grammys red carpet. I also still can’t get over her dating Ryan Seacrest.
Katy, didn’t anyone tell you the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was in December? You’re a few months too late…
Kelly Osbourne in Tadashi Shoji
I wanted to like this because I’ve really been loving Kelly Osbourne lately but that color purple, with ruffles, and a ribbon tie at the waist is just too “high school dance” for me. I think she looks gorgeous but I just don’t love the dress in that color.
Kim Kardashian in Kaufman Franco
Legs. Boobs. Sequins. Makeup. It’s a little “showgirly” for me but it’s Kim Kardashian…do we expect anything less?
Lea Michele would have to do something fashionably offensive for me to hate on her look. I would have liked a bolder shoe here but I love the cut of the dress, especially the detail at the waist, and I love that sultry berry color lipgloss. Wish they showed more of her on the Grammys red carpet.
Miley Cyrus in Roberto Cavalli
Whoever said that too long of extensions were in? (see Jennifer Lopez ) The dress looks tacky, there’s side boob, there are wayyyyy too many bracelets and it’s wayyyyyy too much with that sparkly dress. And pardon me for being bitchy, but it definitely looks like Miley’s been getting the late night munchies if you catch my drift…
Nicki Minaj in Givenchy
The next Gaga. Meaning…she can do no wrong.
Nicole Kidman in Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2011 Couture
Not the biggest Nicole Kidman fan and I probably would have hated this dress on anyone else but the colors, the fit and the silhouette totally work for her. I hate to say it but I really don’t find anything wrong with this look.
Rihanna in Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2011 Couture
Probably one of the riskiest dresses you could wear on the red carpet (which is why I had to provide a side shot as well), Rihanna pulls it off well. What can I say? It literally hits her in the “right spots” to hide what needs to be hidden, and her stylist definitely provided her with the perfect undergarments for this specific dress. A lot of people hated her hair mostly. I kind of loved it though. This dress on this girl at this event…totally works.
Selena Gomez in J. Mendel
Pretty dress on a pretty girl. I’d like to see her do something a little edgier or fashion forward for the red carpet. She’s young, she’s gorgeous so why not? But if it’s not her thing, I wouldn’t push it. That’s the type of stuff that sends you to rehab… (cue Lindsay Lohan jokes)
Well that’s all for now. Let me know who your best dressed (or worst dressed) picks were for the Grammys. Until next time!
