Teen Choice Awards 2013: Best Dressed


It’s that time of year again and the Teen Choice Awards has been and gone. The awards ceremony celebrates the hottest teen icons in music, film, sports, etc. and so with all of the young stars attending to collect their awards there’s always some fresh fashion on display!
We always see fashion risks, with the young and famous, which can either fly or flop…and that’s why this red carpet is one of the most interesting for us to look at.
The main trend I noticed for this year was bold colour and print. Designer Fausto Puglisi’s palm tree print was seen on two celebrities on this year’s blue-carpet. Lily Collins went for a more classic take on the print, sporting a plain black top with a printed mullet hem skirt. Whilst this looked flattering on her, I thought that Bella Thorne’s version of the Puglisi palm print had more of a wow factor (see second from left).  For me, the print works a lot better on this more street-chic style dress and the styling of hair and accessories was more suited to the occasion. The heavy sleeves on this dress work well in my opinion as they balance out the A-line skirt, drawing further attention to her tiny waist. Personally, I would have worn this with a wedge, maybe with a pop of colour to draw away from too much black but overall this look works well.
Speaking of ‘a pop of colour’, I am in love with the Chirstopher Kane dress worn by Chloe Moretz (see middle). For a sixteen year old, this young actress has serious style! The off the shoulder neckline looks great with her laid back hair and the cut out bits of the dress are in all the right places for her age. The primary colours are fun and the fact that she didn’t overdo it with accessories adds to how chic it already is.
Proving you don’t have to bare all to look sexy were Vampire Diaries actress Nina Dobrev and 'Crazy, Stupid, Love' star Crystal Reed. The printed J. Mendel jumpsuit worn by Nina (see far right) stood out for me because of the laid back elegance it gave her. Although the print was all over she carried it off effortlessly without it looking too garish. I love the subtle peplum around the waist too which added form to her otherwise boyish figure. Similarly, the Carolina Herrera trouser suit worn by Crystal Reed (see far left) worked just as well.
Overall, the blue carpet at this year’s Teen Choice didn’t fail to deliver the fashion front. With print and colour being the main focus it makes me want summer to stay around for a little longer.
