Teen Choice Awards 2011.

YAY! Another red carpet event! It was one filled with teen stars, gorgeous eye-catching outfits and surfboards.
Lucy Hale of Pretty Little Liars took home a surfboard for Summer TV Star Female (Pretty Little Liars was also voted Summer TV Show) in this sexy backless (except for the few sequin straps) Cengiz Abazoglu mini-dress. She was definitely a head-turner as she also wore a stunning pair of Giuseppe Zanotti ankle-strap platforms - minus the heels! I love the look, it was very youthful, the colour was soft but edgy with the black outlines. Though I must say it was a really daring frock to wear at the TCAs, she carried it really well without being over the top.

Former supermodel and talk-show host Tyra Banks was fiercely sassy in a full-leather jumpsuit by Thierry Mugler. The fun-loving lady matched her nails with her jumpsuit's bold yellow detail. It's definitely bringing out the figure in Tyra and the bright colour tones down the leather ware by a little bit, though I thought the cleavage was still a little too much for this event.

Also in leather were Blake Lively and Elizabeth Banks. Blake Lively was voted Choice TV Actress, Drama for her work in Gossip Girl (which took home the award for Choice TV Show, Drama) and the former-short-stint-redhead wore an orange Gucci leather shift dress from the label's Resort 2012 collection. I'm loving her hair, I'm loving the dress and it's bright colour, but I'm not too crazy about the printed Christian Louboutin pumps she wore which made the look really formal. I'd prefer something more fun, 'cause after all it IS the Teen Choice Awards! Let loose!

Elizabeth Banks looked more fiery in her J. Mendel red leather strapless dress. I didn't think something like this fit the occasion. The colour on top of the leather sheath is too much for this teens-filled event. That is not to say that Elizabeth, who was a presenter that night, didn't look good, it probably would be more appropriate for some other event.

Cameron Diaz, who picked up the award for Choice Movie Actress, Comedy for her work in Bad Teacher (I can't wait for it to hit the screens here!), also wore a strapless frock. The blonde actress went with a simple mini-dress by A.L.C. but pumped up the look with bright and unique Burak Uyan heels. Don't you just love those quirky-looking shoes?! I absolutely love Cameron's choice in classic silhouettes but spices things up with her clever taste in footwear. A Chloe "Sally" envelope clutch completes Cameron's look.

Twilight's Ashley Greene went monotone with her black and white Givenchy fitted dress. To be honest, the look was kinda boring. Firstly I don't like blow-outs on Ashley. I prefer her in up-dos, some permed ends, anything but this. I love her hair as Alice Cullen actually, the short haircut with slightly permed ends. But back to the look, her choice of dress could've been more colourful and interesting. On top of that, her Givenchy heels are too chunky for her calves. On the whole, a no-no for me.

Rocker Avril Lavigne also walked into the Gibson Amphitheatre in a (surprise, surprise) black number by Abbey Dawn - the singer's own label. The only consolation is the fun stars-and-stripes peep-toes she was wearing and the bright yellow soles. That aside, boring.

Another outfit I didn't quite like was that of Emma Stone's. Emma was on stage accepting her surfboard for Choice Movie Actress, Romantic Comedy and presenting the Ultimate Choice Award to good friend Taylor Swift, wearing a Christian Dior Resort 2012 piece matched with Lanvin heels. I don't actually feel that the uneven hem is flattering, not to mention the colour is a bit dull. This isn't like the Emma who is capable of wearing bright peachy colours to the red carpet. But I must say, I like the dress better on Emma than on the model.

Taylor Swift chose to sweep home SIX awards (she tweeted that she has now 13 TCA awards - 13 is her lucky number!) in a white Raphael Cennamo dress. It was something different, yet I thought that the silhouette wasn't so flattering for the tall beauty. The length was kinda in between for me, probably something shorter or longer would've worked better. Plus, it looked a little too prom-ish. The belted dress look was finished off with a pair of grey Fendi bow-peep toes.

Taylor Swift's BFF Selena Gomez walked the red carpet in a Erin Fetherston champagne gold Fall 2011 dress and a pair of Brian Atwood purple heels. I'm pretty sure her multiple choice in purple footwear thus far has been influenced by boyfriend Justin Bieber (purple is his favourite colour). The look was perfect for her, young but glamourous. I particularly love her pinkish-purple miniaudiere.

The "Who Says" singer was joined by kiss-and-make-up best friend Demi Lovato who was decked in a bright yellow laced BCBG frock. The "Skyscraper" singer wore her dress with matching yellow suede heels by Christian Louboutin. I love the colour on Demi, it forms a perfect contrast against her tan complexion. She looks absolutely gorgeous and I hope she continues wearing colour instead of black. Don't the Disney pals look awfully cute together!

Brightening up the blue carpet further was Black Eyed Peas' leading girl, Fergie, who wore a yellow and black star-patterned body-hugging dress by Dolce & Gabbana. The shortened length was perfect but I wished Fergie had picked some funky heels instead of dull black pumps.

Nikita hottie Maggie Q took to the blue carpet in a Max Mara Spring 2011 skirt and body suit outfit. While the whole look was a little too formal and corporate-like, the all-white ensemble, complete with monotone Aperlai heels, was refreshing for the summer. I'm waiting to see Maggie in something fun like a short dress. These days, she's always going for the prim and proper looks, like when she attended The CW's Upfront in a mustard sheath earlier in May (see below).

Rachel Bilson brought little sis Hattie to the Teen Choice as she wore a light mint Chloe chiffon dress. The sisters look awfully sweet! :) I love Rachel Bilson and her personal style but I'm not buying this look. The dress is too basic and looks like something I've seen her in before. Plus, those Brian Atwood studded booties are too edgy for this girly dress. But I like Rachel Bilson in something edgy so I would trade the dress for something wilder, preferably in a bright colour or printed.

Zoe Saldana of Avatar wore a Lanvin Resort 2012 strapless metallic frock with gold Alexander McQueen ankle-strap heels. The actress belted up the dress - good thing, but the look wasn't as youthful as Zoe can carry. This look is good for a movie photocall but a little dull for the TCAs. But nonetheless, it was interesting and Zoe carried it well, something different from her counterparts who showed up for the night.

The most popular family in showbiz would never be missing from the guest list at the TCAs, of course. The Kardashians showed up sans Robert, while Khloe's hubby and Lakers player Lamar Odom brought along his two children. Khloe Kardashian (fourth from the left) was wild in a Roberto Cavalli animal print maxi dress. It was a little dressy but the black and white colours helped to tone the print down a little. Khloe certainly worked it with her gorgeous permed locks.

Kendall Jenner (first from the left) wore her hair up in an up-do, something we seldom see. She looked elegant in her plum Aurelio Costarella dress, the cut-out is sexy but in a subtle way, nothing too bare for an underage girl. Her metallic YSL pumps are to-die-for! Her sister Kylie Jenner went with a softer look in a nude BCBGeneration dress worn with matching BCBG platform heels (also to-die-for!). Both sisters' outfits are great!

Fashionista Kim Kardasian looked like a classic beauty in her up-do and two-tone Givenchy dress which features a feathered skirt and a laced waist band. I would've loved the look more if Kim traded her Louboutin pumps for something with more design, such as embellishments.

Older sister Kourtney Kardashian, on the other hand, wore a cobalt blue strapless dress by Blaque Label. The unique short gown consists of a short inner mini-dress and a tail-hem outer layer of short, see-through fabric. The look is cute and fun, as Kourtney completes the look with a black Chanel clutch and snake-print Louboutin pumps.

Nikki Reed was boho chic in a tribal print maxi dress from Etro's Spring 2011 collection. It's a nice dress for the summer, though her black Ferragamo clutch is a little dull. Still, I love the hair, the bold accessories (love the cuff) and her pretty manicured nails.

Nina Dobrev of The Vampire Diaries was cute in a D&G gingham dress and clutch - just until you glance upon her Ferragamo pumps. Black pumps are safe but really should be worn with the appropriate looks. Nina is young and since she has already chosen to go to the TCAs with such a cute and flirty dress, why go with the black pumps?

Zooey Deschanel of Yes Man looked disappointing at the TCAs in her Miu Miu shoes and dress. Her make-up looks overdone, the frock is not flattering at all and I'm still not buying the black pumps-black clutch look.

YouTube sensation Rebecca Black actually took home a surfboard for herself! The young singer of "Black Friday" wore a single-shoulder blue dress with studded black peep-toes. I think it's an appropriate look for someone new to such big events. It's not over-done nor too safe, it's age- and event-appropriate yet fun. I'm not sure if she has a publicist or stylist, but good job.

Finally, the host of the night, Kaley Cuoco of the Big Bang Theory graced the red carpet in a Rebecca Taylor Spring 2011 tiered dress. I always find tiered dresses hard to wear, but Kaley did just fine. I can't see her footwear but I hope it's something better than what the model wore on the runway.

So who was your best dressed female celebrity at the TCAs? Personally it was a tough choice 'cause I didn't really like any look in particular but if I had to choose, I'd go for Blake Lively in Gucci, only because of the bright dress she picked.
