Young Hollywood convened at the Shrine Auditorium on Sunday night to celebrate the year in music, film and television (or at least the music, film and television that is relevant to the teen set) for the Teen Choice Awards. 

I love events like this where the main red carpet stars are young and sometimes newcomers to the celebrity scene. They don't all have stylists—or at least, they don't all have good stylists. They're still figuring out their personal style (most of them are still teenagers themselves, after all) and the resulting red carpet looks are fresh, fun, and risky. These girls are here to get noticed and that leads to interesting fashion statements, for better or for worse.

Pictured above are some of my favorite looks from the night. Crop tops proved that they are definitely here to stay. Nina Dobrev, Shay Mitchell, Jordin Sparks, Taylor Swift, and others all bared their midriffs with crop tops but no one looked trashy in doing so. Most of these girls have been walking the red carpet for a while now and thus have figured out what they look good in.

Selena Gomez continued her classy lady style streak with a sleek version of le smoking, which Yves Saint Laurent originally reimagined for women. The metallic pumps and the cool ponytail keep this look modern and youthful, and I feel that Selena has truly hit her style stride.

I loved Shailene Woodley's Peter Pilotto dress and especially enjoyed how she drew out the red in her dress with matching red heels. I only wish she had worn a sleeveless or short-sleeve version for the summer event. Nina Dobrev similarly matched her shoes to a color in her look, which made her outfit look instantly put together.

Nina Dobrev would have to be my pick for best dressed of the night. 

Who was your pick for best-dressed celeb at the 2014 Teen Choice Awards?

Another day, another awards show happening down the block from where I live. But hey, that's LA for you.

While my mom and I did some pre-birthday shopping at the Americana in Glendale, the trendy stars of film and television gathered at the Nokia Theatre at LA Live for the 2014 MTV Movie Awards. It was hosted by Conan O'Brien so I'm sure it was funny, and I think people win things, but let's be real, the awards show isn't about the accolades but rather the fun of it all. And this attitude was well reflected on the red carpet, where stars donned colorful and bold looks for the evening. 

I love seeing celebrities attend these more casual award shows where they can take some fashion risks. Let's see if they paid off!

The ladies of the red carpet embraced spring colors, with dazzling whites and vibrant pastels that also ruled the Spring 2014 runways. Arden Cho and Rocsi Diaz looked absolutely radiant in white dresses that featured fun cutouts.

Iggy Azalea has proved herself to be quite the fashion lover, and I'm proud of her for taking a risk in John Galliano. The proportions of the look were pretty hard to pull off and I don't know if it was the best choice for Azalea, but I like that she tried it out.

Also, I don't know who Pia Mia Perez is and I don't know what her usual style is, but I'm kind of digging her purple gangsta glam get-up. This seems to be one of the most polarizing looks of the night, but I for one don't hate it.

As you all know I have a total style crush on Lupita Nyong'o and her choice for last night's event was no exception. She killed it in a colorful Chanel dress and I loved her electric blue pumps and matching eyeshadow.

Holland Roden and Shailene Woodley both rocked summer leather looks. I love Holland's simple nude Salvatore Ferragamo dress and the way she played up her shoes and lips. Fresh and fun. As for Shailene, she looked equal parts sweet and edgy in an olive green Balmain outfit. The little peek of skin was cute and not a bit too much. Also, I think Shailene wins for best shoes. Those things are awesome.

Rihanna is no stranger to best dressed lists but I find that I often waver between loving and hating her style. Tonight she was totally glam in Ulyana Sergeenko couture. The sweeping silk robe screamed old Hollywood, but the playful bodysuit beneath kept the look young, sexy, and appropriate for an event that is all about having fun.

I also thought Victoria Justice was one of the best dressed in a stunning Versace Atelier mini dress. The pink is perfect for MTV and the detail on the dress is stunning. I also loved how she kept her styling to a minimum so the dress could do the talking. 

Who was your best dressed of the evening and who should have gone home to change?
