Billboard Music Awards 2011: Best Dressed

After a four-year hiatus, the Billboard Music Awards returned last night with a star studded red carpet fashion bang.  Our favorite divas made their dazzling debut on the white carpet to enter the competition for best dressed.
    Taylor Swift gets my vote for 3rd place. Not that it’s a surprise to anyone anymore, but Taylor Swift hit the red carpet, in an uber embellished light colored floor grazing gown from the Elie Saab Spring-Summer 2011 collection. She added red lips to her blush-toned, beaded strapless gown and donned elegant wavy hair. Though it’s a habitual look of hers, she still looked absolutely beautiful.
    Selena Gomez may still be signed with Disney but she walked onto the white carpet looking sexier than she ever has in a black Dolce & Gabanna floor length dress. She boasted a low cut top, a thigh-high slit, and side cut-outs which exposed her hips. Adding to the sultriness of the look,  Selena wore her hair long and  straight and paired her outfit with Neil Lane jewelry, red Giuseppe Zanotti heels and a Judith Leiber clutch.
 
    At the top of my best dressed list is Rihanna, who usually dresses provocatively for awards shows. However she toned it down last night by opting for an elegantly tailored and sophisticated white Max Azria suit and nude Christian Louboutin pumps. Her white, button less silk blouse was open down to her navel where she showcased a gold fringe Solange Azagury-Partridge tassel necklace. Her red hair really popped against the white suit and it completed the whole look.
