The hair was also perfection, her glossy locks were styled in soft cascading curls. We can see the high neckline of her leather-and-lace Donna Karan dress which elongated her neck. Everything came together for a graceful and incredibly polished look.

Katie Holmes rocked her Alaia minidress with a laceup pair of Proenza Schouler booties at the 2011 Video Music Awards.  This was the most laid-back I’ve seen the actress, and I liked it.

Zoe Saldana wore a short Barbara Bui dress with metallic designs in the bodice.  Her platform, print sandals heightened her style factor for the evening.

Selena Gomez brought the drama to the awards show last night in a lacy Julien Macdonald dress.  She selected a black look that was short in front, and had a sweeping train in back.

Blake Lively walked the blue carpet in a fitted Gucci dress at the 2011 Teen Choice Awards in Los Angeles.  The mustard colored design was from the Resort 2012 collection.  It fell just above the knee, and had a flattering boat neckline.  She accessorized with cheetah print high-heel pumps and a gold cuff.  I liked that she took a risk with the shoes, instead of playing it safe with something metallic.  In the end, style is all about personality and personal taste.

Shay Mitchell made her blue carpet entrance at the 2011 Teen Choice Awards in a dazzling DKNY miniskirt.  She paired her red sequin skirt with a silk button-up blouse from the label.  Her black peep-toe pumps, and clutch were meant to go with that look.  It was one of the best outfits of the evening; bold color will always stand-out amongst a sea of neutrals. 

Taylor Swift made fashion designer Raphael Cennamo’s month when she wore his design to the 2011 Teen Choice Awards.  The singer selected a white halter dress with a flirty hemline, and V-neckline.  Her skirt had flare and movement, and was accentuated by a bejeweled waistline.  She struck a confident, and self-assured pose on the blue carpet that said, she had found the right look.  The pewter peep-toe pumps completed her glamorous retro look.
