This past Sunday night, the city of Las Vegas hosted a little get together for music’s crème de la crème. This year’s Billboard Music Awards not only celebrated and recognized artists that have stood out this year but also, as part of the celebration, offered tributes to Beastie Boys’ Adam “MCA” Yauch, Whitney Houston and Donna Summer. The night was filled with dancing, singing, tears and laughter but we all know that the excitement of the night is not just in the performances and the issuing of the awards but in the fashion!
The cameras and the fans were ready for the red carpet arrivals in hopes of capturing a glimpse of the nominees, performers and other favorites and to see what they were wearing and who would fall on the both beloved and dreaded worst and best dressed lists.

Looks like he didn’t try too hard while still looking very well put together.
Usher
Bright blue jacket and trousers paired with a grey button-up top and shoes and a white belt
Robin Thicke

Worst Dressed Females
Miley Cyrus
Outfit: Dress by Jean Paul Gaultier
Might have worked but we can’t get over the feeling that she forgot her pants.
Lisa Marie Presley
Outfit: Temperly of London dress and Alexander McQueen jacket
Nelly Furtado
Outfit: Alberta Ferretti dress
Reminds us of lace curtains…. Too busy and the earrings and necklace just weigh the outfit down even more
Kerli
Teddy Bear flatforms, pink thigh-highs, blue hair, furry neck thing, crystal bindi. Need we say more?
Natasha Bedingfield
This dress would have had potential if the beading would’ve only been on the bottom half. The top should have been kept more simple. Currently, this dress looks too overwhelming and the shoulders are weighing her down way too much.
Worst Dressed Males
Wiz Khalifa
Okay, we get it… you’re a rebel. Now wear those pants where they were meant to be worn! Actually, you might want to get a larger size before you attempt that.
Far East Movement
(sigh) A picture says a thousand words…
LMFAO
We would love to be surprised by these guys one day. It would be so delightful to see them in suits or some other “down-to-earth” outfit.
