Miley Cyrus owned the jumpsuit look, Selena Gomez missed the opportunity to wear neon shoes, and Kesha bared so much bum that it made Gwyneth Paltrow’s no underwear look pale in comparison.
So many good looks but also so many bad looks — the fashion styles at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards held in Las Vegas on May 19 were so all over the place that we’re not really quite sure which ones to highlight. So, we thought we’d just go with what was “interesting” — be it good or bad, or be it the shoes or the dress, these were the looks that caught our eye.
Taylor Swift in Jimmy Choo “Suki” Sandals
She knows what works for her: Taylor Swift was her usual sparkly self in a beaded electric blue Zuhair Murad minidress and no-fail Jimmy Choo “Suki” sandals.

Miley Cyrus in Givenchy Shark-Lock Sandals
Miley Cyrus has been rocking jumpsuits lately, and why not — she looks great in them! Miley accessorized her Balmain Spring 2013 jumpsuit with the Givenchy shark-lock sandals that she has also recently been wearing out a lot, too.

Selena Gomez in Jimmy Choo “Malin” Sandals
Selena Gomez’ neon-piped Atelier Versace dress was the perfect dress to wear neon shoes with, and she completely missed the opportunity. Not that her Jimmy Choo “Malin” heels were a bad choice, but this ensemble could’ve been more wow-ing with colorful accessories.

Z LaLa in Silver Foil Paper
If Z LaLa’s intention with this outfit was to attract as much attention to herself as possible, then it certainly worked. Unfortunately, the ensemble also drew attention to how cheap it looked, like a DIY Lady Gaga outfit, down to the silver-foil-paper-wrapped heel-less shoes.

Avril Lavigne in Laurence Dacade “Dolene” Open-Toe Boots
Avril Lavigne’s whole “sk8r chick” shtick may be stuck in 2002, but the trendy knee-high gladiator sandals on her feet showed that she can be current if she wants to.
