PHOTOS: Every Single Look From The Billboard Music Awards

The Billboard Music Awards aren’t the biggest of deals when it comes to award shows, but plenty of stars a) attend and b) walk the red carpet in fun things. We’ve compiled all of the looks (both lady looks and dude looks) for your perusal. And we, of course, have thoughts.

Taylor Swift looked amazing in an almost-scandalous red Elie Saab number — fake sheer bodice FTW! Katy Perry channeled a goth mermaid in iridescent Blumarine with dark makeup and violet-tipped hair. We preferred Carrie Underwood‘s Oscar de la Renta confection on the runway, but we give her kudos for going for it.

Zooey Deschanel should have seriously ditched the black opaque tights (it’s May, and this show was in Vegas!), while Miley Cyrus ultimately bombed in Gaultier. Other things of note: Chrissy Teigen‘s overly sculpted frock complete with modified peplum, Lisa Marie Presley mixing Temperley with McQueen, and both Brandy and Monica being in attendance.

As for the dudes, Justin Bieber looked super dumb in a cargo hoodie with leather sleeves (and a wallet chain!), Usher rocked a teal suit, and some guy named Kuba Ka stepped out of a video game to go to the show.

Take a look, tell us your thoughts, etc:
