Sabrina Carpenter was notably absent from the evening. She was the night’s big winner, taking home three major awards: Favorite Song for her hit Taste, Female Breakout Artist, and Favorite Album for Short n’ Sweet. Wicked also had a successful night, winning three out of its eight nominations, including Favorite Movie, Favorite Movie Actress for Ariana Grande, and Favorite Song from a Movie for Defying Gravity, performed by Wicked’s lead stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.

While some of the night’s biggest winners skipped the spotlight, the orange carpet still brought plenty of star power and style. The Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards always deliver on bold, playful fashion, and this year was no exception. From statement shoes to head-turning glam, these standout celebrity looks lit up the carpet with color, confidence, and creativity.

Tropical Glam: Tyla Hosts in René Caovilla Cleos & Jungle-Print Skirt

Tyla must be on top of the world right now! She made history as the first African artist to host the KCAs and took home the award for Favorite Global Music Star, representing Africa. And if that wasn’t impressive enough, she rocked no less than five designer ensembles, including a vintage piece from Roberto Cavalli’s archives.

Tyla stunned in multiple designer looks throughout the night, but it was her red carpet ensemble that truly stole the show.

She nailed it with her choice of an off-white ribbed tank top that featured a low-cut square neckline, thick shoulder straps, and a figure-hugging fit, highlighting her slender frame effortlessly. The simple design and neutral color made her look chic and put-together, and allowed her jungle-printed skirt to take center stage.

Tyla looked fierce with her toned, tanned legs on full display. She wore an asymmetrical maxi skirt with a striking tropical print that spoke to the summer vibes. But what’s even more eye-catching was the denim detail around the waistband, adding a unique touch to the otherwise boho-inspired piece. The combination captured that effortless summer feel!

Tyla nailed the red carpet with the help of her stylist, Law Roach. She took the summer-ready look to the next level with sparkling diamond jewelry, transforming the casual pairing into a glam, high-fashion masterpiece.

She wore an intricate silver choker, a tennis choker, a collar necklace, and two long necklaces with eye-catching pendants: one with a large cross pendant and the other with a 3D panther pendant. Tyla wasn’t shy about accessorizing, adding a navel ring, intricate diamond bangles, and chunky rings to complete her glamorous look.

The Water singer’s glam game was also on point. Her pink eyeshadow, paired with a silver and blue tinge on the inner corners of the eyes, was stunning. Her fluttery eyelashes added a touch of glamour, while her peachy blush added a hint of freshness. And let’s not forget the two-tone lipstick; it’s the perfect finishing touch to her fresh summer look!

Rounding out her tropical ensemble, the 5′3″ (1.60 m) singer slipped her pedicured feet into a pair of strappy, emerald-green sandals by René Caovilla. She wore the designer’s iconic ‘Cleo’ heels, featuring the maison’s signature serpent strap that elegantly coils around the ankles, adding height and drama to her look.

Her shoes also have round open toes, a strap across the foot, and around 4-inch stiletto heels, giving her 5’3” height an instant boost. To top it all, these sandals are encrusted with tonal crystals, allowing her to shine from every angle.

These Rene Caovilla “Cleo” sandals are on sale at Mytheresa for $1,168 (down from $1,460). You can also explore a wide range of René Caovilla styles—including embellished pumps and crystal-trimmed flats—available now at Farfetch.

Corset Boldness: Ice Spice Turns Heads in Dolce & Gabbana and Black Stilettos

Ice Spice’s look for the Kids’ Choice Awards was questionable. The event was about celebrating children’s entertainment, and a corset dress definitely wasn’t the most appropriate choice for a younger audience. But then again, it’s Ice Spice we’re talking about, so we can’t really be surprised by her bold fashion choices.

Ice Spice commanded attention in her blush pink satin dress by Dolce & Gabbana. The dress had a hint of vintage style, featuring an eye-catching bustier corset bodice with a daring, plunging neckline held in place by thin spaghetti straps. It was a statement-making piece, but I have to say, it fit a bit too snugly around her curves—it looked like she could spill out at any moment!

I love the intricate corset lacing that ran down the front and sides of the gorgeous dress, with one side intentionally left undone to reveal a risque hip-high slit!

Ice Spice isn’t one to play it safe when it comes to accessories! She made a splash at the KCAs with her large black cross pendant necklace dangling from a long chain wrapped twice around her neck. It gave her flirty dress a dose of visual interest and a touch of edge! She also wore a pair of diamond stud earrings for a dash of sparkle, a few rings, and some long pink nail art.

Sporting her signature tight curls in vibrant orange, Ice Spice highlighted her striking facial features with cat’s eye makeup, faux lashes, and dark nude lipstick.

Ice Spice knew precisely how to let her dress do all the talking! She paired it with minimalist black patent sandals by Dolce & Gabbana, showcasing her white pedicure.

Her shoes featured thick toe straps, slim ankle straps with buckle fastening, and high heels that added a few extra inches to her short 5’2 ½” height. You can order these sandals for $915 at Mytheresa.

Red-Hot Rebel: Kylie Cantrall Rocks Fur-Trim Denim & Adidas Boxing Boots

Kylie Cantrall sure knows how to make a statement! She channeled her inner baddie in a fierce and fab red distressed denim outfit that was impossible to ignore. The jacket had a zipped front, a raw hem, and a cutout that revealed her flat abs, adding an edgy touch to the look. The red fur collar and long bell sleeves with fur cuffs elevated the look to major fashionista status!

Cantrall’s denim jacket looked badass paired with the matching mini skirt, which was also cut from the same distressed fabric. The red fur hem that skimmed her thighs gave the skirt a touch of softness and femininity, while the silver-tone hardware and studs added a cool, edgy touch that elevated the look.

Kylie was up for Favorite Butt-Kicker for her role in Descendants: The Rise of Red, but despite losing to Emma Myers of A Minecraft Movie, she still made a lasting impression on the orange carpet with her fierce and confident style that gave off major Princess Red vibes.

Cantrall kept her accessories simple. Her diamond-encrusted dome stud earrings and statement ring were the perfect touch of sparkle, adding a hint of glamour to her outfit.

Her makeup was total perfection, fitting her Descendants role flawlessly. The chic high ponytail, the red highlights in her bangs, and the curl on her forehead pulled the look together, adding some edge and personality.

Leaning into the red theme, Kylie wore smoky red eyeshadow, cat’s eyeliner, and nude lipstick to create a bold and fearless appearance. She took the red glam seriously, completing the look with a soft, rosy blush.

Kylie, who stands 5′3″ (1.60 m) and wears a US shoe size 5, was ready for action in her bold outfit, especially with those standout Adidas boxing boots. Crafted from white leather, the knee-high design featured extended laces running up the front for a striking, athletic edge.

Her boots also showcased Adidas’ iconic three stripes and logo detailing on the tongue and heel, blending classic branding with fierce, fashion-forward energy.
