Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus Are Best Dressed At The Billboard Music Awards

Posted 5/20/12 10:40 pm EST by Gaby Wilson in Red Carpet

This year has been a big one for the Billboard charts. From Katy Perry's record-breaking fifth single off Teenage Dream to Taylor Swift's reign as "Woman of the Year" at just 22 years old, there's a lot of celebrate, and that is pricelessly what the pop music's finest did at tonight's Billboard Music Awards. The 2012 BBMAs drew out some of the music industry's most stylish celebs, but a few shone brighter than the rest. From Miley Cyrus to The Wanted, these are MTV Style's top looks of the night!

Straying from her go-to gold, Taylor Swift looked stunning in a bright red gown by Elie Saab. The symmetrical strappiness of the bodice provides a bit of edge which is balanced by the girlish lace insets. The racy sheerness of the lace is also off-set by the conservative neckline and the floor-length solid skirt. Tay finishes it off with short, dark nails, blunt bangs, and a touch of smokey red-brown eye makeup.

Billboard's Hottest Couples Get Styled In Black & White

Two of our favorite music industry couples saw things in black and white (literally!), working awesome B&W looks at the Billboard Music Awards tonight in Las Vegas. Alicia Keys and husband Swizz Beatz, along with Amber Rose and fiance Wiz Khalifa, played matchy-matchy with each other in these unexpected hues, proving that opposites really do attract.

Let's be real: Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa have never really obeyed the fashion rules, and this time around the pair upped the ante in equally rockstar-worthy outfits. Rose paired her studded strapless minidress with gold pumps and hoop earrings, adding pops of color with bright yellow nails and cherry lipstick (and hello, body glitter!). We love how Wiz color-coordinated with his girlfriend while still doing his own thing in slim black jeans, white tee, and vest. He topped off the streetwear style with bright red sneakers, hat, and shades. Nicely done!

Cassie Matches Her Sunglasses To Her Jumpsuit, Looks Amazing

Leave it to Cassie to convince us we need to add a silk leopard jumpsuit to our wardrobe STAT. The musician-slash-model is already the queen of tricky fashion trends (after all, she still manages to pull off the half-shaved head thing), and this week she worked this amazing Salvatore Ferragamo onepiece to Cannes Film festival. Straight from the designer's Spring/Summer 2012 runway, the exotic orange and purple number is splashed with bold leopard print and adorned with a tie-waist cinch. It should go without saying that this eye-catching outfit is definitely not for the shy- but considering it's Cassie we're talking about, is it really any surprise the singer paired the piece with equally flashy accessories? She's added white Givenchy heels, a Balenciaga carryall bag, and, the piece de resistance, matching shades.

What Do You Think About Kristen Stewart's Harness Dress?

Way to go, K.Stew! Our favorite jeans-and-tee wearing cool girl has officially grown up...fashion-wise, at least. Just within the last week, Kristen Stewart has already donned a see-through Marchesa gown at the London Snow White and the Huntsman premiere and gotten in touch with, uh, her manlier side for Elle magazine. Her latest style baby step was at the film's photo call in Madrid earlier today, where the star worked one of the season's biggest trends: the harness. She attached the black leather embellishment to her altered BCBG Pre-Fall dress (shortened from the runway version), giving the already-edgy frock a tough twist. Paired with a side braid (hello, Katniss Everdeen!) and barefaced beauty look, it's a high-fashion version of the actress we already know and love.

Trending: Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, And Rihanna Sport Sheer Stripes

When the warm weather hits, all those summery striped pieces in your wardrobe FINALLY get their chance to shine, but this season we're seeing a slightly different take on the nautical trend. Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, and Rihanna all have been sporting a sexier version of the ol' standby by alternating their stripes with a panel of mesh. Oh la la! This takes the conservative (and totally preppy) trend to new heights, and we kiiiinda love it. Just last week, Katy Perry stepped out in a super goth striped ensemble at the 2012 Music Biz Awards. Even though she's technically totally covered up, the subtle flash of skin every so often is enough to transform this dress from modest to straight-up provocative. Also, hi purple hair. We still love you.

Kristen or Charlize: Who Rocked The Sheer Black Gown Better?

There aren't many things that make us stop whatever we're doing and gape in awe, but seriously, it's impossible not to obsess over the photos from last night's London premiere of Snow White and the Huntsman. I mean, just look at Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron on the red (uh, grass?) carpet and you'll see what we mean. The co-stars of the film, which hits theaters June 1, looked jaw-dropping gorgeous in their dramatic sheer black gowns.

Kristen Stewart took a break from her trademark sneakers and cutoffs uniform and pulled out all the stops for this major event, wearing an intricate Marchesa floor-length dress. Straight from the Fall 2012 runway, the long-sleeved gown is covered in black lace, making it the perfect hybrid of goth, romantic, and seriously unexpected glamour. We're not used to seeing K.Stew baring all, but thanks to the tastefully see-through skirt and embellishment on the torso, she 100% pulls it off. While the dress is amazing enough as is, she topped off the look with a wispy bun accented by- wait for it-gold chains. One word: knockout. But staying true to form, she did tell us at the premiere that she was looking forward to slipping out of the dress and putting on something a little more comfy. Even in ulta-glam mode, she's still the K.Stew we know and love.

Remember when Katy Perry used to dress up in candy and cupcakes and shoot whipped cream out of her bustier? *nostalgic sigh* Well, it looks like those days are a little far off (for now, at least), and while you can relive them in game form, the IRL Katy has moved from her blue period to a purple one that's more, in her own words, "goth".

Rihanna Stuns In White At 'Battleship' Premiere

Last night's L.A. premiere of Battleship confirmed a two very important things. ~~Tim Riggins~~ Taylor Kitsch is still hot sans flowing mane (no Sampson-Delilah syndrome here!), and Rihanna can look good, nay, stunning, wearing literally anything. That's not to say that this Adam Selman gown Ri sported on the red carpet is not beautiful in its own right because it is. It's crisp and sexy and deliciously tactile, and if anyone in this world can pull off the simultaneous low-dipping cowl neck, thigh-high slit, and sacrum-grazing open back, it's Rihanna.

How Do Katy Perry's Sims 3 'Sweet Treats' Outfits Measure Up?

Posted 5/10/12 10:14 am EST by Gaby Wilson in Ladies, Performance Outfits, Red Carpet

Early this year, news of Katy Perry's Sims debut had KatyCats pawing for a piece of the special Katy Perry edition of The Sims 3. The OG game was already chock full of Katy-themed details, but now, EA has released an extra "Sweet Treats" pack with even more Candyfornia sets, props, hairstyles, and fashions! Since we ran the first virtual performance outfits through the ringer, we thought it would only be fair to extend the same gesture to the new pack. Walk with us as we explore how these ensembles stack up against their IRL inspirations!

Katy Perry wore this bejeweled tromp l'oeil onesie tearing up the 2010 MTV Movie Awards stage. For her upbeat performance of "California Gurls," Katy wore a bright cerulean version of her signature Candyfornia Bettie Page 'do, a sparkle-covered cut-out romper that gave the illusion of a teeny top and high-waisted denim shorts. She finished it off with graphic t-strap heels and a spoonful of attitude. The shoes fall short in the Sims version and EA adds some superfluous hair flowers, but overall, the virtual replica nails this one.

Florence Welch Or Lady Gaga: Who Wore A Cupcake Dress Best?

Posted 5/9/12 12:19 pm EST by Maud Deitch in Ladies, Red Carpet

AH, the cupcake dress. It's a many tiered and layered thing that cascades from head-to-toe like a Christmas tree. There's usually a ruffle or two (or a thousand), and its high-fashion otherworldliness cannot be denied. Most recently, Florence Welch sported a white Alexander McQueen cupcake dress at the 2012 Costume Institute Benefit Gala. The two-tiered, bell-sleeved number was partially sheer up top, lending the otherwise voluminous dress a little bit of seductive, playful flair, while the midi length and matching pumps gave the whole thing a certain Edwardian charm. Florence chose to pair the outrageous ensemble with a distinctly more simple coif--a crown braid pulls her long red hair off her shoulders and lets the dress take the spotlight, while framing her beautiful face just so.
