2013 MTV Movie Awards: Best Dressed

Amy Sciarretto — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 13:06:47 +0000

Like the Kids' Choice Awards, the MTV Movie Awards are more of a casual, loose event, so the stars dress down even when dressing up.

Names like Dior and Balenciaga are absent from red carpet ensembles in favor of fun, less dressy items like jeans and short dresses. The best dressed at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards were a mix of glam and casual, thanks to Selena Gomez, Emma Watson and Snooki. (Yes, Snooki).

The 2013 MTV Movie Awards took place tonight (April 14), with plenty of pop stars on hand to party and bro down with the actors and actresses who were celebrated at the event. Selena Gomez was golden and utterly gorgeous in a mini dress, tossing her hair into a sexy, messy fishtail braid, while the always unpredictable Kesha channeled her inner goth hippie. Check out the red carpet fashions, which were much more dialed down than your typical awards show, like the VMAs or the Grammys, since this was a casual, cool and fun night, and not nearly as formal.

2013 ACM Awards: Worst Dressed

Amy Sciarretto — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 14:39:55 +0000

The 2013 ACM Awards took over Las Vegas last night (April 7), and we hope some of the outfits worn by country music's elite and beyond adhere to that famed Sin City adage and stay in Vegas.

Examples? Carrie Underwood's flower frock and Shania Twain's slutty boots -- and that's just a start.

2013 ACM Awards: Best Dressed

Amy Sciarretto — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 14:39:21 +0000

The 2013 ACM Awards took place last night (April 7) in Las Vegas, bringing out country music's A-list and more. There were several style stunners, like Taylor Swift, who donned a gorgeous metallic gown, and Jewel, who was a vision in pink. Meanwhile, singer Jason Aldean ditched the jeans for a classic black suit with a cowboy edge, and newcomer Kasey Musgraves wore an absolutely precious white party frock.

Louisiana's own Hunter Hayes was up for six awards at the Academy of Country Music Awards last night in Las Vegas.

One Direction + Taylor Swift Lead in Kids' Choice Awards Nominations

Amy Sciarretto — Sun, 17 Feb 2013 06:21:47 +0000

The Kids Choice Awards nominations have been announced and leading the pack this year are One Direction and Taylor Swift. That makes sense, since these acts are two of the most popular among the "kids." We'll ignore the fact that Swift and 1D's Harry Styles were coupled up until a few weeks ago, so they are forever linked, at least in our minds.

I'm not one for watching awards shows, but last night, I decided to watch the Grammys with my wife, who loves everything about awards shows.

2013 SAG Awards Red Carpet Fashion – Best Dressed [PHOTOS]

Amy Sciarretto — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 04:54:20 +0000

The 2013 SAG Awards were a dark affair. No, really — most of the celebs showed up in dark colors, with lots of black and dark blue on the red carpet. There were also plenty of side parts and one-shoulder cascades of waves when it came to hair. In addition, we saw scores of jewel-toned [...]

2013 SAG Awards Red Carpet Fashion – Worst Dressed [PHOTOS]

Amy Sciarretto — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 04:53:44 +0000

The 2013 SAG Awards featured lots of dark dresses, and while there were plenty of hits, there were also some high-profile misses. It's hard to mess up basic black -- but several of our favorite stars did just that.

Julianne Moore disappointed yet again, while Claire Danes followed up her fiery Golden Globes frock with a big, sloppy disappointment.

Meanwhile, January Jones was trying to be fashion-forward, but fell flat. And Rose Byrne looked like a 1980s-era bridesmaid. She was the only one of the bunch who went with a totally light hue -- and even she failed epically.

2013 Golden Globes – Worst Dressed [PHOTOS]

Amy Sciarretto — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 06:19:38 +0000

There were some serious red carpet clunkers at the 2013 Golden Globes. The dresses that were bad were ... really bad. There was nothing middling or "ho hum" about this selection of dumpy dresses, failure frocks and groan-inducing gowns.

It's a shame, since all of the ladies on this list are beauties in their own right. But boy did they choose the wrong dresses for this event.

2013 Golden Globes – Best Dressed [PHOTOS]

The were more hits than misses at the 2013 Golden Globe Awards, so in order to keep things manageable, we narrowed it down to the five absolute best and most beautiful gowns (but do feel free to check out all our red carpet coverage).

2012 American Country Awards – Best Dressed

Amy Sciarretto — Tue, 11 Dec 2012 05:32:03 +0000

The American Country Awards took place last night (Dec. 10) in Las Vegas and an assortment of country stars, singers and actors were on hand to celebrate the genre.

We'll preface our Best Dressed lineup by saying there were a dearth of wow-inducing gowns and dresses, so nothing blew us away. The red carpet was sorely lacking in "oomph" factor and there were a lot of "meh" looks.

That said, some of country music's first ladies and more looked lovely in brightly colored dresses, so these were the best dressed of the lot.

Best Dressed at the 2012 CMA Awards [PHOTOS]

Amy Sciarretto — Fri, 02 Nov 2012 14:33:39 +0000

Country music's biggest stars were out and about Thursday night at the 46th Annual CMA Awards. Country music performers are often known for their big hair and their short hemlines, their 10-gallon hats and their crap-kicker boots, and their blue jeans and their T-shirts -- but county music's elite cleaned up extra nice for this event, y'all.

Hunter Hayes Wins Best New Artist at 2012 CMA Awards

Debbie Ray — Fri, 02 Nov 2012 10:47:29 +0000

Taylor Swift got another opportunity to display her “I can’t believe it!” face when she captured the Choice Female Artist of the Year honor at the 2012 Teen Choice Awards tonight (July 22), beating out an impressive group of superstars that included Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, Katy Perry and Adele.

Jack Hanna's Gator Tries to Eat a 2012 Daytime Emmy

Nick Romano — Mon, 25 Jun 2012 09:28:48 +0000

The 2012 Daytime Emmy Awards would probably have been a big bore if it wasn’t for famed zookeeper Jack Hanna. When he arrived on the red carpet in Beverly Hills with a lemur, porcupine and 5-feet-long alligator, people were just a tad bit more than surprised. That feeling then quickly turned into shock and awe when he brought them all up on the Hilton stage, including the gator.

Lafayette Wins Cleanest City Title for 2012

Cities are grouped according to size, and this year Lafayette beat out Baton Rouge in its category to win the Cleanest City.

Taylor Swift's Cancer-Stricken ACM Date Cancels

Taylor Swift is suffering another broken heart — and so is Kevin McGuire, the cancer-stricken New Jersey teen who was slated to be her date to the ACMs.

Meryl Streep Has a Cinderella Moment at British Awards Show

Debbie Ray — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 10:42:05 +0000

Meryl Streep won a British Academy of Film and Television Arts Award on Sunday, but lost a shoe! As she climbed the stairs to receive her trophy for Leading Actress in 'The Iron Lady', her gorgeous black stiletto slid right off her foot, just like Cinderella. She handled i
