Miranda Lambert in George Hobeika at the Billboard Awards: hot or trashy?

Here’s some more fashion from last night’s Billboard Music Awards, you can see our other coverage here. First off we have Miranda Lambert in a bright pink George Hobeika Signature sheath dress. The dress featured a mesh front panel that showed significant cleavage. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a celebrity have as much of a makeover and image change as Miranda Lambert has over the past few months. She lost weight, glammed it up and looks much different. As far as I can tell she went solo last night, except for hanging out with Carrie Underwood. Carrie and Miranda debuted their duet, “Something Bad,” last night. You can see their performance here. Miranda’s weight loss made me wonder if she’s having issues in her marriage with Blake Shelton, as we’ve heard for years. Now that I see her performing with Carrie Underwood I wonder whether that duet was an impetus to her to slim down.
Miranda may look gorgeous, but this dress is a little understated for the event. I would have liked to see her in something more interesting and funky. It’s more of a cocktail dress and the shoes are very plain.

Shania Twain was similarly boring in a full length, full sleeve black gown with netting around the arms, neckline and skirt. Shania often gets it spectacularly wrong, so at least this 90s dress isn’t a catastrophe. She needs a new colorist, those highlights are bad.

In contrast we have Sarah Hyland of Modern Family in a sequin Emilio Pucci jacket and skirt. I can’t decide whether I like it or not. My instinct is to say it’s fug and overdone but there’s something bold and fun about it. Maybe this would work better without the jacket. It’s all very matchy. I do like her styling and her hairstyle is very cute. I like the trend of tucking and styling hair to get the look of an extreme style without the commitment.

Lucy Hale was in a bright colorblocked tea length dress. I like this dress a lot and think it’s a very nice mix of young and playful yet dressy. Her wavy, sideswept hair is so pretty and her makeup is perfection. Overall this is a great look.

Jordin Sparks got it right, in my opinion, in a black tight Michael Costello dress featuring diagonal lines of sequins. I love the contemporary look of this gown and the tapered neckline is awesome. This is a great dress. Her hair is excellent in braids and she brightened it up with a yellow purse and red drop earrings.

Here’s another view of Jordin’s hair.
