Zendaya in Calvin Klein
I think she's carrying this off as well as anyone can, but let's get real: That is a straight-up Calvin Klein bra. Period.
Celine Dion
Celine looks so fantastic. I love her.
Laverne Cox in Michael Costello
And she looks gorgeous, of course, but I rather wish she'd gone Short And Sparkly for this event.
Serayah in Baja East
This kind of looks like three different outfits grafted together at the last minute.
Serayah
And it's not any better in red.
Heidi Klum in Atelier Villalba
This is sort of wacky, but it works on Heidi, no? It's fun to see her wearing something that veers weird rather than tacky?
Keke Palmer in House of Harlot
Listen, in the pantheon of latex dresses...it beats Kim's.
Jessica Alba in Zuhair Murad
Leaving aside why I'm not totally sure why Jessica Alba is at the Billboard Awards -- it doesn't really seem to be her demographic anymore? -- I think we could argue that she might be trying to make herself unrecognizable here.
Lucy Hale in Zuhair Murad
I like this...but perhaps for October, not April.
Lucy Hale and Halsey
In which Lucy tries to remain unmoved by the fact that Halsey is wearing a scarf with a shower curtain. (Halsey also managed to make an introduction of a performer ALL about her: "I am proud to say that I am a fan of this person so let me present MY friend..." Ugh.)
Halsey
Also, I really do need to know why non-hosts feel compelled to change outfits to present. Did the person who gave you the red-carpet dress know you were ditching it for the TV cameras? Why bother? What was any of this in aid of, friend? Other than possibly a Pagan ritual.
Rebecca Romijn
This is soothingly beautiful.
Priyanka Chopra in Versace
This color is AMAZING on her. I remain unmoved by the seat-belt detailing on the strap, though.
Kristen Bell, Kathryn Hahn, Mila Kunis
I adore K. Bell, but I wish that didn't end in bell bottoms. I adore K Hahn and I think she looks super in this; it's so quirky. I also like Mila just fine, but that dress feels a little...juvenile? I don't know. It doesn't move me.
Kate Beckinsale in Hamel
She looks so doubtful. Kate, perk up. Your new movie is GREAT.
Kelly Rowland in LaBourjoisie
This feels very Kardashian-adjacent. Kardashijacent?
Tove Lo
Whaaaaaaat. This is for, say, Tove Lo Opens The Saucy Adult Pool At Caesar's Palace. Not the Billboards.
Idina Menzel
FINALLY, she kills it at an awards show. Well played, milady.
Pink
I love you, Pink. NEVER CHANGE. On a night where Britney badly lip-synched her entire medley -- which was of "greatest hits" that loosely interpreted both of those words -- and she looked like she couldn't focus on anything but what her next step was, it was so nice to see Pink come out and annihilate her performance. She sang live over a backing track, which I am not opposed to when you are doing aerial work TWICE in a set (the other time, she had a rope spin her out over the crowd, per usual). I just... I love her for mixing showmanship with vocals.
