Red Carpet Report: 2011 Teen Choice Awards--The Non-Teens: Fergie, Tyra, Zoe, Cameron, Emma!!

Non-Teens at the Teen Choice 2011



Fergie in Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2011: Miss Fergie. She loves a mini! So much so, they had the original below-the-knee Dolce & Gabbana dress chopped. It's A LOT of look on her. Even for Miss Fergie. I get it that she loves to be bold, brash and make "Boom Boom Pow" statements (did I just really type that??) but well...I think where I have the most problem is THOSE ROOTS!!! We know she can afford a touch-up. Or just have your assistant go to CVS and buy you some Clairol Nice 'N Easy.



Tyra Banks: OK, Miss Tyra, you are giving a "Miss Wonder Woman/Super Hero" moment in this yellow-and-black zip-front leather jumpsuit, even down to the BIG OL' gold cuff! She can knock off several TEENS with that bracelet of hers! Yes, it's all a bit of a mess, but hey, it's Miss Tyra! I do like her hair and that oh-so-innocent look on her face. She does have that SMIZE down to a science!



A few of the more "mature" ladies that got it right:



Cameron Diaz in a Strapless Mini Dress by A.L.C. : Soooo CUTE Cameron! Well done! Perfect little strapless mini dress. Clean, very "California Gal" hair and make-up. She looks as if she just spent 4 hours on a surfboard and well, she all of a sudden had to go to a big Red Carpet event! I especially LUV the heels:

Zoe Saldana in Lanvin Resort 2012: Looks like Zoe was trying to mimic the same pose that the model did on the right in the Lanvin Resort 2012 Look Book with this metallic strapless ruffled and pleated dress. I like that the actual dress is more of a "Baby Doll" lose shape and yet, Zoe belted it to define her INCREDIBLY teeny tiny waist. The gold stacked heels are FAB as well.



Emma Stone in Christian Dior Resort 2012: Actress Emma Stone surprised even me with this rather "directional" choice of a dress. It's not pretty by definition but more "fashion'y" and yes, me likey! The drop waist, color-blocking and shapeless tunic-1920's shape are all very BIG for next Spring so...You Go Miss Emma!

Red Carpet Report: 2011 Teen Choice Awards--The Leather Gals!!

Trend Report: Leather Dresses



Several gals wore leather on the Teen Choice 2011 red carpet (OK, it was BLUE!). It was a nice and balmy 70-something degrees in Universal City yesterday but that didn't stop the "Leather Fashion Brigade". Let's take a look:



Blake Lively in Gucci Resort 2012: Blake chose a very fitted sheath pale orange leather dress from the House of Gucci and their Resort 2012 collection (yes, kids, we are still in 2011!). I think she looks great. Nice accessories, nice pointy-toe pumps. Very 1950's chic. A Tippi Hedren up-do would have taken it from "Nice" to FAB-u-Lous!



Elizabeth Banks in J Mendel Resort 2012: Actress Elizabeth Banks also wore leather--and very nicely. Gilles Mendel is one of my favorite designers and of course: LUV his J Mendel line. The dress is edgy and fun at the same time. The tangerine color is perfect for the BLUE Carpet and I'm also a fan of the asymmetrical leather panel "cascades". It just turned this otherwise "basic" leather dress into something far more interesting.



How NOT to do Leather:



Choreographer (and Yelling Queen) Mary Murphy of "So You Think You Can Dance": No. No. And No. Oh Mary. She looks like the Hostess at a Hofbrau somewhere in a seedy part of Munich or like she works at a Meat-Packing Company somewhere in Kansas City. Who. Told. Her. To. Wear. This? And then with those 2008-looking peep-toe boots. Step off the blue carpet and go get me a flank steak...and some German Beer!!!

Red Carpet Report: 2011 Teen Choice Awards--Demi, Selena and Taylor...

Actual Teens at the Teen Choice 2011



Last night was the Teen Choice 2011, held at the Gibson Amphitheater in Universal City. So naturally, it's time for my "Nick V. Red Carpet Report". First up, ACTUAL TEENS at the Teen Choice 2011:



Demi Lovato in BCBG Max Azria: There was a bit of a trend--with several actresses last night--of wearing dresses with extra "trails", as I call them. And Demi Lovato's mustard yellow-and-nude BCBG by Max Azria was one example of this. I'm still deciding whether I would have chopped the asymmetry from the dress or just left it. She does look pretty. Nice tan Demi. She looks as if she just got back from Capri! The hair though, well, it's a bit overwhelming: She's a can of Aqua Net away from Snooki/Quinceañera territory. Overall it is a very pretty, pulled together look from head to toe.



Selena Gomez in Erin Fetherston Fall 2011: See what I told you about the trend of having extra "trails" in your dress hanging down...Here it is on the beautiful Selena Gomez aka Mrs. Bieber. Because she is so adorably cute, the style of the dress comes off a bit Pageant-esque (as opposed to the photo of the model who looks more Grecian-Diva) but I love the mix of accessories.



Selena's strappy violet-colored shoes with raw-cut rosette detail are very cute. Not DIVA cute, just cute-cute.



Taylor Swift in Rafael Cennamo: Taylor is vibing a "Marilyn Monroe Moment" in this halter-style flared dress with crystal-studded waist from NY-based designer Rafael Cennamo. Just kinda boring. Nothing to exciting. Very "Nordstrom Dress Department". It is age appropriate and I'll give her that! I LOVE the hair and the make-up but then again, it's Taylor Swift so she could do pretty much anything.
