Underage and overdressed! Overage and underdressed! It’s the Teen Choice Awards! 

CHLOË MORETZ
jacket, bra, and shorts by Valentino, shoes by Stuart Weitzman

YES. GO ON AND GET IT, LITTLE MISS MORETZ. This is youthful and fun and chic and adorable and ugh she’s so cute I might throw up. The starlet-beloved Stuart Weitzman “Nudist” sandals are perfect for this outfit, and the fresh-faced hair and makeup have never looked better.

NINA DOBREV
top and shorts by Vionnet, purse by Michael Kors, shoes by Kurt Geiger

Since the Teen Choice Awards run young and casual, this was a big night for crop tops and shorts. I am absolutely in love with the fit and print of this chic little outfit on Ms. Dobrev. I think the matching pink shoes and gold purse keep things formal enough for the event, but the outfit is still SO much fun. I tend to loathe braids on the red carpet, but there’s no place more appropriate for them than the Teen Choice Awards.

TAYLOR SWIFT
top and skirt by Novis, shoes by Charlotte Olympia

Taylor FINALLY started bringing some of her street style chicness to the red carpet, and it’s paying off in a big way. Gone are the sweet-little-girl princess gowns – welcome to the era of sweet-slightly-older-girl vintage-inspired hipster-lite separates! Again, fun is the name of the game at this event, so I’m loving the laid-back quirkiness happening here. The yellow shoes are a blast. And her hair looks awesome.

HAILEE STEINFELD
dress by Elie Saab, shoes by Casadei

This dress is an absolute work of art, though it might be just a touch on the serious side for this venue. Regardless, the pink and black lace combination looks stunning on Hailee, and the smoky cat-eye makeup is fucking fabulous.

SHAILENE WOODLEY
dress by Peter Pilotto, shoes by Kurt Geiger

Shailene continues her endless stream of sensible-yet-funky mixed-printed dresses with this geometric Peter Pilotto number. It might be a tad on the businessy side, and a pop of color in her makeup would have gone a long way, but it’s a pretty damn great-looking ensemble all the same.

SELENA GOMEZ
jumpsuit by Saint Laurent, purse by Christian Dior, shoes by Miu Miu

I’m fairly shocked to see Selena Gomez in something so mature – this was my red carpet prediction for Naomi Watts, who is twice her age – but I still kind of love it. She might only be 22, but she’s been on the red carpet for what feels like decades, so I understand her desire to go all NYC-socialite-approaching-middle-age on us. I still love this outfit, but I sort of wish someone else had worn it.

SARAH HYLAND
dress by Marc Jacobs, shoes by Jimmy Choo

I like that it sort of looks like a vintage negligee, and the silhouette is fantastic on her. I favored the stars who took their wardrobes a little less seriously than Sarah did, but it’s still a good look.

JORDIN SPARKS
top and pants by Simply Intricate

Yes, this is insane, but I actually don’t hate it. Somehow, she is defying all the laws of gods and men, and actually pulling off those pants.

CHER LLOYD
top by Amen, shorts by Theory, shoes by Jimmy Choo

I have absolutely no idea who this is, but it’s a good outfit for the event, if a bit under-accessorized. The top keeps things dressy; the shorts keep things cool.

SHAY MITCHELL
top and skirt by Misha, purse by Rodo, shoes by Jimmy Choo

This definitely looks more like bridal underwear than actual clothing, but I want to steal that rose-gold boxy clutch.

WILLOW SHIELDS
top and pants by Emanuel Ungaro, shoes by Stuart Weitzman

I respect darling little Primrose Everdeen’s risk-taking, but this fits her terribly, and the shoes don’t work with it at all.

LUCY HALE
dress by Christian Dior, purse by Michael Kors, shoes by Brian Atwood

The length and width of this dress are just insanely awkward. It just looks like she’s missing half her outfit.

LEA MICHELE
dress by Fausto Puglisi, shoes by Christian Louboutin

God, I am so over her shtick. Also, did she bathe in grease on the limo ride to this event? No human’s legs are that shiny.

JENNIFER LOPEZ
dress by Elie Saab, shoes by Casadei

This dress really didn’t need to be quite so short and tight, and the matching green shoes are just tacky. I think maybe she and Selena Gomez should have switched outfits. (But no one should have worn these shoes with this dress.)

HILARY DUFF
top by Sachin & Babi, shoes by Stuart Weitzman

I love that little embellished top, but the length of that skirt makes me twitch. And it kind of looks like a trash bag.

ARIANA GRANDE
dress by Georges Chakra, shoes by Saint Laurent

This might be the most boring girl on the red carpet. And is she serious with that hair? That hair style is so outdated, it actually predates the birth of Ariana Grande.

BELLA THORNE
dress by Johnny Wujek for Candies, purse by Judith Leiber, shoes by Christian Dior

The neckline is so plunging, it’s absurd. The matching blue shoes make her look like she’s in some kind of Smurfette costume. And not in a good, event-appropriate way.

ZENDAYA COLEMAN
dress by Material Girl, purse by Swarovski, shoes by Christian Louboutin

I owned Barbie dolls with more expensive-looking outfits than this one. And even they would have taken one look at those bright pink shoes and been like, “Bitch, please.”

CAT DEELEY
dress by Alberta Ferretti, shoes by Stuart Weitzman

It could be a great dress on someone else, but this orange color really does not work for her. The lipstick only makes things worse, and the nude “Nudist” shoes are just kind of sad.

VICTORIA JUSTICE
dress by Rebecca Minkoff, shoes by Olcay Gulsen

Nope. That’s a tablecloth, not a dress.

DEBBY RYAN
jumpsuit by BCBG Max Azria, purse by Edie Parker

What a fabulous outfit for a middle school band concert! Tell us, Debby, how did your clarinet solo go?
