I typically never watch the Billboard Music Awards or any other music awards show for that matter, but last night’s events were so entertaining I couldn’t turn away. For one, Christina Aguilera was making a comeback with her new look and the whole world approved. Taylor Swift had some sass and we liked it. Justin Bieber got booed and it was hilarious because he openly said that he should be “taken seriously as an artist.” Kind of fell into that one, didn’t he? Miguel’s dramatic jump landed himself in a fan’s face and it was also a little bit funny. To top it all off, the fashion was on point. Here are my favorite looks:
Hayden Panettiere in Halston Heritage
Her introducing Macklemore & Ryan Lewis was more than a little awkward, but it’s okay because she probably thought she was really clever with it. Do you Hayden.
- Lawrence is a Dior girl through and through. Now being the face for the brand, we sure can expect her to be wearing it a lot more than she has already.
[Readers! I'm sorry I missed the live Twitter feed for the red carpet today. I hear this year's stars were on point with their looks. Unfortunately, I had to attend to some personal matters and that was much more important than blogging today. Thanks for your understanding!]

Modern Family’s Julie Bowen was one of my absolute favorites last night! I was loving all of the yellow gowns, but this neon one just pops against the red carpet. The actress is wearing Monique Lhuillier.
I was actually impressed by most of the looks I saw on the red carpet this year at the 2012 SAG Awards -more so than the Golden Globes. Rose Byrne, Michelle Williams, Emma Stone were some of my favorites! I absolutely loved how Rose Byrne opted for a jumpsuit instead of a gown. It’s a risky choice, but the actress pulled it off. Also, her haircut is adorable with the look.
Charlize Theron in Dior completely gets Yow Yow’s stamp of approval for being the best dressed on the red carpet last night. There was a whole lot of cream and ivory, but gosh the simplicity and elegance of this gown made me melt. The headband was also what sealed the deal for me.
If you thought the madness over Versace x H&M’s first collection was nuts, brace yourself for the second collection: Versace x H&M Cruise Collection. This collection is a little softer in comparison to the first one and includes less studs and metal hardware, but the Cruise Collection is still just as much of a show stopper. What you will find, however, are pretty pastel colors just in time for the spring, a funky fruit print that covers tops, bikinis and dresses, and a nautical theme. I previously mentioned that I have never felt attracted to very many of Versace’s pieces and unfortunately, I still feel the same way after getting a sneak peak at this collection. I’ll let you guys decide for yourself though!

The Versace for H&M collection hits H&M retailers this Saturday! Unfortunately, the collection will not be at every H&M store so make sure you double check the listing before you make that drive to stand in line at 5AM or however early you decide to get there. The entire listing can be found here. I could have sworn that Seattle’s downtown location would be housing the collection, but the list does not say so… Hmmm…did some extra digging though and found that Seattle Met Blogsconfirms that the collection will be here. If it’s not, blame them instead of me? Kidding. Kind of.
Also, if you’re planning on being a part of this extravagant event, read up on all of the rules and restrictions on how to shop for Versace for H&Mhere. It’s pretty complex stuff and involves bracelets and timed shopping. Don’t forget to turn off the sound either because the music will make you feel like you’re in a circus.
