As ever, there were some key trends gracing last night's Teen Choice Awards arrivals red carpet. Some of them worked. Some of them didn't. And a few brave souls tried melding a number of looks together with surprising results. For example someone - who shall remain nameless for now - merged a floral print with a power trouser AND a bra top. And it worked, fair play to her.
OK, let's start with the Plunging Necklines. Why not, it's Monday morning and we need perking up. Those opting for this dramatic look include Cat Deeley, Sarah Hyland off Modern Family (I like it but I keep imagining a pair of ice skates on her feet), and Bella Thorne. If you look closely at Bella's chest (you're allowed), you'll see she's using an age appropriate cheat option, which she seems beyond happy with it and that's the main thing.
Then we had one Italia Ricci who melded a plunge neckline, a jumpsuit and a print. She looks pretty damn amazing and she knows it, fair play to her.
Keeping with the jumpsuit, not all of them worked as well as the above. For example, here's one Rowan Blanchard. Overall (pun unintended) a pretty look, particularly with the embellishments. I personally - between the folding of the material, and it's colour - just keep thinking of a certain discarded piece of flesh. You know the one, don't make me say it.
Moving swiftly on to the Power Suits. Selena Gomez nailed the look, and while we love Debbie Ryan's top, it would've looked perhaps looked better with a pencil skirt or a more fitted trew.
She makes up for that thanks to her cuff and the gold touches around her thumb. Bit overkill having the two cuffs, unless you're going as Wonder Woman, but - again - who are we to judge.
Next up - Shorts. I was never a fan while she was on X Factor, but Lordy doesn't Cher Lloyd scrub up well. She looks sublime.
Also rocking shorts, this time with a slightly (ill-fitting) cropped top is Nina Dobrev...
Most of The Kardashians/Jenners assembled were advocating the cropped top...
While I'm a fan of Kylie's ensemble, Kim looks like she's travelled back to a murky pre-Kanye/cover of Vogue time where cut 'n shut zebra skirts were all the rage in her wardrobe. Best left to a club couch in Ibiza. As for the horizontal stripes, who needs them around the hip area?!
Why, yes, there are a lot of crop tops - we're quite taken with Taylor Swift's offering - despite its randomness and the fact it resembles carpet swatches. Unfortunately there were no photos of her from the rear, would've loved to have seen how far the peekaboo tartan netting in her skirt went up.
And then there was Chloe Grace Moretz... This isn't exactly following the rules of 'boobs or legs, but never both' but she's a teenager, and can clearly wear whatever she wants and that is a boob tube with a bolero and short shorts.
Our ensemble of the night, however, goes to Jordan Sparks. Not because it's the best outfit, more because of how effortlessly she pulls off suck a bold look. A bra top, a high wasted trouser and a bold print sounds like the making of a bad Madonna video, but - on Jordan - it works.
