Keke Palmer
I applaud Keke for going all-out with this disco theme, and compared with the last few things she's worn -- WHICH WERE BATTY -- this is campy in a (comparetively) delightful way. I'm not sure I'd back this on its own merits, but I can live with it.
Jessica Alba in David Koma
She looks... mostly good. It's polished and it seems right bang-on the dress code for a teen event where you still want to look fancy but not like you think it's the same as the Golden Globes. The pants are meh, but she got the rise right with that top at least. And my god, has her head ever looked better?
Laverne Cox in Michael Costello
This was never going to be my bottle of beer, y'all.
Sarah Hyland in J. Mendel
Cute, but too small in the bust, and also it's too bad she apparently arrived by convertible.
Lea Michele in Self Portrait
I can accept this. The last couple Self Portrait dresses I've seen have been way better than the ones that first brought them to my attention. I might wish for a simpler top with that skirt, but at least her shoes are clunky same-old neutrals.
Chloe Grace Moretz
Is that an actual wrap dress, or just meant to look like one? Regardless: It's a VERY boxy silhouette on her. I'm kind of bummed out by it, and the makeup seems messy too. I am not feeling her styling team and I wonder if they need to take a break. (Psst. CHLOE. ASK YOUR BF'S MOTHER. SHE CAN GET ANY STYLIST ON THE HORN.)
Tracee Ellis Ross
She's cool as hell, but this looks like she borrowed it from her on-screen daughter Yara Shahidi's closet and I think she should put it back ASAP.
Shelley Hennig
SO pretty. Not sure how I feel about the netting, exactly, but I also get why it's there. Perhaps Hollywood ran out of boob tape so she needed a literal safety net.
Shay Mitchell
I hope that's as comfortable as a giant sweatshirt, because it sure looks like one.
Ashley Benson in Michael Kors
She will never want for a keyring ever again.
Lucy Hale in Azzaro
That is VERY nifty, but I get distracted by the breaks in the aqua pattern on the dress. Those empty spots look like marbled skin and I have to blink several times to reorient myself to the fact that it's a blush-colored floral.
The Pretty Little Liars
Troian looks like she nervously shredded her skirt in her seat.
Lana Parilla
She found shoes that actually go with this. Could she not also have found lipstick that did?
Andrea Barber, Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin
For the Fuller House devotees among you. Jodie... good on you, friend, for trying to pack some pedi-punch, but those are actual S&M devices right?
Victoria Justice in Versace
I feel like this could work if we just gave the fabric to some other designer.
Maia Mitchell in Emporio Armani
I LOVE this look. I want to point to it and tell almost everyone else, "THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER." Even Alba.
Jennifer Garner
J. Gar is with the little girl who starred with her in "Miracles from Heaven." Jennifer looks... fine... and Kylie looks totally cute, but this is really just a way to sidebar to a discussion of J. Gar's career. She's doing SO many schmaltzy and/or kids movies, capped with the latest, "Nine Lives," in which Kevin Spacey plays her husband (!) whom Christopher Walken (!!) turns into a cat (!!!). The universe REALLY should have more roles in it for J. Gar than these. I'm concerned she's going to be the Hallmark Channel's go-to actress soon, and while that's actually totally fine and probably a good living that would afford her easy mom time... it's SYDNEY BRISTOW. I want one last major hurrah for her before she goes to family cable.
Tallia Storm
She is apparently a singer. If she is a good singer, this outfit is going to haunt her in about two or three years.
Chris Evans
"You chose right. You think that egghead Pine or that meat block Hemsworth would've shown up for their surfboard? ... I mean, maybe, but still. Captain America will ALWAYS come for you. Wait, I shouldn't have said that at a teen.... uh, hmm. Get a load of that Tallia Storm, huh?"
Keegan Michael Key
I am glad teens are maybe choosing him, because he is smart and talented and seems totally decent.
Kelsea Ballerini, Alessia Cara, and Bebe Rexha
A tale of three singers: One looks like a Grecian-themed fly, one is being slowly strangled by her own superhero aspirations, and one is wondering if she misread the invitation.
Justin Timberlake
And then America's youngest grandfather showed up. (I actually appreciate that he's trying to mature his style. He's just sort of Hipster Mr. Rogers right now and it makes me laugh.)
