People's Choice Awards 2012 Red Carpet Recap

Posted by Claire | Thursday January 12, 201214 comments

It's that time again: time to cattily assess Red Carpet fashion from the first major awards show of 2012 - the People's Choice Awards.  And so, without further ado...

Best Dressed

Kristen Bell, Emma Stone, Jennifer Lawrence

Girl-crush Emma Stone wore a stunning green blazer, perfect for her colouring.  We're also glad to see Jennifer Lawrence take a bit of a risk this year after boring us a bit last awards season.

Laces & Sheers

Vanessa Hudgens, Miley Cyrus, Ashley Greene

Lace- and sheer-paneled necklines were stunning on many celebs.  Ashley Greene's leather dress was a particular standout, while Miley Cyrus's fuchsia Jimmy Choos and Little White Dress were refreshing on the controversial starlet.

Hair: the Good, the Bad, the WTF??


PCA host Kaley Cuoco's (left) hair reminded of Heather Locklear in Melrose Place but for the ombre update.  I'm not sure that I'm much a fan of Demi Lovato's (right) Fran Drescher 'do either.


While Cobie Smulders (left) and Ginnifer Goodwin (below) opted for sleek sophistication, Kelly Osbourne's (right) grays gave us the bigtime blues.

Worst Dressed

Ginnifer Goodwin, Jennifer Morrison, Lucy Hale

I really wanted to love Ginnifer Goodwin's dress - the colour is stunning and the silhouette flatters.  But then I looked at those sleeves and fell promptly out of love.  Jennifer Morrison's dress is being panned across the blogosphere for its lampshade tassels, and Pretty Little Liars' Lucy Hale's cut-out dress feels confusing.

Of course, fashion wasn't the only news of the night.  Some men were there who also wore outfits, and then there were awards.  Among the many winners:

Actress: Emma Stone, Lea Michele, Nina Dobrev, Chloe Moretz
Actors: Neil Patrick Harris, Johnny Depp, Hugh Jackman, Jimmy Fallon
Music: Maroon 5, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, Demi Lovato, Taylor Swift
TV: How I Met Your Mother, 2 Broke Girls, American Idol
Films: Water for Elephants, Bridesmaids, Harry Potter 7 (part 2)

Jennifer Morrison's dress kills me, because if it weren't for the tassels, I would adore it.

Ginnifer without the lampshade tassels, Jennifer M without the crochet bottom and Lucy without the extra black layer thingie... would look good! Kelley O's hair makes my heart sad :(

I love what Emma stone is wearing. The green blazer looks great with her red hair. I would totally rock Kristin Bell's outfit. The rest of the outfits really didn't do anything for me...

I thought all of the fashion was sub par. What ever happened to gorgeous Hollywood? People need to take lessons from all the old school movie stars - Sophia Loren, Lauren Becal, Natalie Wood, Elizabeth Taylor.....THIS is how Hollywood should dress.

Jennifer Morrison's dress could look nice if the bottom part were different. Cool to see Emma Stone opting for dress pants rather than a gown!

i like Emmas blazer, the colours are really nice. But my fav is probably Miley, I like the colour of her shoes too!

I already love Emma Stone but her outfit makes me love her more! The green looks great against her red hair and that jacket is just chic. I also just love the fact she is doing something different wearing pants but it still looks dressed up for an awards night.

I'm surprised with Miley's look, it's really nice and softens her look, I think she should continue dressing like this. I also like how Kristen Bell looks, really nice! I actually don't like Jennifer Lawrence's dress, not my cup of tea.And I like the cut of Kelly Osbourne's hair, she should've done another colour though, it makes her look so old.

I absolutely LOVE that pink on her. And I know it's kind of a crazy look but whatever- love it.

I also kind of like Kelly Osbourne's gray hair- it's different and I think it suits her!

What is going on with the "Once upon a time" ladies? Yikes!
Miley looks great - I'm surprised in a very good way :)
