Face-Off Friday; Teen Choice Awards Ugly: The Worst of the Worst

As yet another way to switch up Face-Off Friday I've decided to combine today's post on the Ugliest of fashions at the Teen Choice Awards with my regularly scheduled Face-Off Friday Post. Please let me know who you think is the worst of the worst out of the Top 6 picks by Mr. Dudesday and myself. Sounds like fun, doesn't it?

My first pick unfortunately is Emma Stone. I love Emma to pieces, I think she's an amazing actress and so cute and adorable too. She's really coming into her own fashion-wise and I always like to see what she's going to wear. Sadly, I was disappointed at the Teen Choice Awards. We all know Emma's a pale girl but the white dress only made it all the more noticeable, come on, her legs are almost the same color as the material. That's whiter than even me. I'm not saying she needs to tan, I just think she could benefit from a different color dress. I like the rose gold color on her detailing and I think that color would make a really pretty dress for her. WTH is up with the black strip though? Can't get on board with this outfit but I do love her newly reddened hair and her pretty makeup.

Even though I thought Tyra meerly missed the mark Matt thought she was aiming for a whole 'nother target with her look. Listen to what he has to say about it.

I like Tyra, I really do, so I tried and tried but couldn't find anything redeemable about this, this, outfit. Well, no, I guess if she were managing a wrestler in the early 90's who had a bumblebee look going on then this might work. But even then, it'd have to be tight enough not to bunch up and is it just me or should that zipper be on the back so we don't have to see it? Her heels are kinda cool and I like the purse but her hair isn't doing it for me either. I'm not sure what would posses her to wear this in public. But I hear people don't like Anne Hathaway's Catwoman outfit for the new Batman movie so maybe Tyra was trying to show us how it should be done. Just looked it up, Hathaway's is slightly better.

Secondly, I've got to mention Nikki Reed's weird patterned maxi dress. I thought this look was more appropriate for the beach or lounging poolside. I know the TCA are casual but not that casual. I don't particularly care for her hair but her makeup was cute and simple. The whole look would have been better with a more fitted gown or one with a less in your face beachy pattern.

Matt's got Zooey Deschanel up there on his list and I have to agree. My beef is mainly with the orthopedic shoes and the horrible print but I'll let him give you the details.

Yep, the shoes are awful. The pattern is awful, it looks like she's naked with way too little fishnet poorly covering her pale body. If she's pretty then this picture certainly isn't capturing it because I'm not feeling her lips or hair either. I just couldn't find anything good to say about Zooey's look here, sorry. Ugh, I'm just glad to move on.

Lastly for me is Kourtney Kardashian. She's a cutie and as much as I love cobalt blue I'm really not feeling this maternity-esque dress. If she really were preggers that would be one thing. This is not hot. I'm not a huge fan of dresses that are shorter in the front and longer in the back but this takes the look to a whole different level with the mini dress under a sheer panel so you have two short layers in the front, one short one in the back and a long one bringing up the rear. No!

Your last option for Face-Off Friday is Demi Lovato. I thought Demi's dress was cute despite the long train but apparently Matt has different ideas.

Hmmm. Maybe, no. Hmmm. Okay so I don't know what tell you. Maybe my wife is right and I do change my mind about what I do and don't like. While I am certainly not a fan of this dress I wouldn't go so far as to say it's ugly, now Emma Stone's on the other hand, that one is truly horrible. But I wanted to add a little variety and choose three that weren't on Jaime's list. The only thing I find really bad about this look is the funky train/tail thing she's got going on. I don't like yellow but the color actually looks good on her and her hair and makeup are beautiful. If they treated this dress like a rottweiler and clipped off the tail, it would have gone unmentioned and been easily forgotten. I say leave the dog's their tails and snip a little fabric off Demi's dress. And if the eating disorder stuff is true then good for her for looking so good at the awards, she looks healthy and certainly has a better body than most models out there. Well, that's it for this time. I hope I'm invited back to do this again. Thanks for reading.

Teen Choice Awards: The Bad

Ah, the Teen Choice Awards and the bad outfit choices that go with them. By DOC definition a Bad outfit (as apposed to an Ugly one) is one that could have been Good but veered off course somehow. Colors (as we'll see here), pattern and fit are possible reasons for an outfit to go from Good to Bad. As we did yesterday Matt, Mr. Dudesday Tuesday, and I will both discuss our choices for the Bad List. Mr. Dudesday is at work right now so his commentary will come in the form of an edit later this evening, sorry for the disappointment.

Again there was one Bad outfit we could both agree on, the beautiful Kaley Cuoco. As both of us are huge fans of Big Bang Theory (although without an operational TV we haven't kept up with this season) we wanted to see Kaley looking great. In my opinion this dress could have been okay if she ditched the last third of it or if the skirt portion was only one tier. I love the bodice and the sheer white sparkle but I felt like she could have looked better. I'm digging the makeup and the hair is okay.

*edit*
Well, everything I have to say about this dress was already said, even down to not being able to watch this season due to a lack of TV reception. But again, the dress is almost gorgeous, if only a good portion of it weren't there. I as well love her makeup and the hair is cool too, something different from what we're used to seeing Penny rock on Big Bang Theory. That's it, someone get me a pair of scissors, I'm hemming that bad boy.

My second addition to the list is Blake Lively. I love Blake, I really do, but I'm not a fan of this yellow leather dress on her. As mentioned above sometimes it's simply the color that throws this list together and Ms. Lively would have looked HOT had she chosen a different color. As a personal preference I don't actually like yellow on blondes, I feel it makes the hair, skin and clothing all too similar of a shade and really looks boring and flat. The leather hugs her curves in all the right places and as always Blake's makeup is lovely. I'm not sure how I feel about the hair and the matronly shoes aren't doing it for me. I think this whole look would have been elevated if the dress were colbalt or emerald.

While I almost put Fergie on the best dressed list, Matt didn't dig the yellow and black dress she was wearing. Let him tell you all about it on his edit.

No I'm not a fan of Fergie but I wouldn't wish that kind of death upon anybody, I mean who would want to die by a million stars bombarding their dress in great big black and yellow explosion? And on top of that she has sleeves. It's summer! There's plenty of time for long sleeves come winter. But I do have to say that if hugs her body perfectly and it is refreshing to see a girl who isn't striving for a skeletal look. If she ditched the hideous stars, or even if they were more realistic rather than looking like a child's sketchpad, I would have loved this outfit, of course she'd have to hack the sleeves off too. If it were all black then Fergie would have easily made it onto my top three list.

Lastly, rounding out my Bad 3 is Tyra Banks. Wow! Tyra certainly has the body for a leather bustier jumpsuit. I can tell you right now I could never pull it off but I think Tyra missed the mark a little bit. I'm sure leather is pretty hard to alter but the ill fit of this outfit definitely brings the whole style down. The end of the zipper area is especially unflattering to her torso and I'm really not enjoying the blast of yellow at the top, if it was lacy and appeared to be a strapless bra peeking out that would be hella cool, this just looked like a last ditch effort to conceal some of Ms. Banks ample cleavage. I don't like the hairstyle (and hello! it's a weave or a wig so she could have gone for something a little cuter) and the bunching at the ankles completely kills the look she was going for with the matching heels.

Even though I thought Kim Kardashian looked cute I'll leave it up to him to tell you why she made his Bad List.
*edit*

I was scrolling down the page to see the picture for my next pick and wondered how this gorgeous dress ended up on the list. Kept scrolling down and then I saw the black puffy feathery looking thing below her waistline and was instantly reminded. Although the original Kardashian looks stunning, it's that lower half of the dress that I just can't stand. I'm not usually a fan of her hair when it's up but even that looked good, mostly because of her makeup but the look all seemed to blend together perfectly. If someone got that girl some peep toes and plucked her lower half she also would have been one of my top picks. And again, I have to give it to her for actually eating and showing off her curves.

Teen Choice Awards: The Good DOC with Dudesday Tuesday's Matthew

I love covering all the award shows. Some slip through my fingers and since I don't watch TV I occasionally miss them until I see coverage online. Take the Teen Choice Awards, I had no idea they were even on until I saw that many of my beloved CW shows won some awards. Here are a man and a woman's opinion on the good outfits of the night. It just goes to show how different the sexes really are.

First of all let's start with the only one we agreed on. I'm loving Avril Lavigne's simple black dress, the sheer black top makes it a little less scandalous and also more comfy to wear. I like the absence of accessories, for once. The shoes are adorable and add a little playfulness to it. I loved Avril's pink hair streaks but I am glad she went without them to a semi-formal event.

So I've never been a fan of Avril Lavigne but I have to say she was the best dressed of the night, at least of the ones I saw. She has a great body so why not show it off a little? But she looks extremely classy as well as sexy which is a very hard look to pull off but she's perfected it here. I love the sheer fabric at the top and am even feeling her shoes and jewelry. Easily my number one pick.

My second pick is Kendall Jenner. Of course, purple is my favorite color and I like the fun details on this one. I love that it appears that her shoes are dark green instead of black but that could just be a trick of the lighting. It amazes me how much Kendall looks like her mother in this shot! Of course the signature smoky eye doesn't hurt and Kendall was smart to wear her hair up to show off the cool shoulder details on her dress.

I loved Kendall's dress as well but also thought Selena Gomez's was worth mentioning. Again, not a fan but I know when to give a girl her props. The light color and material itself give the look a summery feel, something a few of the other attendees seemed to forget. It feels like she ditched her cute look for something a little more grownup and it certainly paid off. But what is up with that scarf thingy dangling at her side?

Thirdly, I'm loving Nina Dobrev's pretty summer dress. It seems a lot of stars dress for the season we're going into so that their look is cutting edge but Nina is working this pretty sundress. I love the simple makeup and the half-up 'do. I probably would have added something a little more fun for the shoe instead of a basic black pump, I think yellow would be pretty and unexpected.

I'm sorry, I don't know what's wrong with me. This shouldn't be pretty but for some reason I love it. Maybe it's because it's shiny, I am a guy after all. It looks almost space age but in a good way and the muted yet shiny colors go perfect with her skin tone. I like the belt on the dress and the way it matches her bracelets which match her shoes, although I am not a fan of the shoes. If they were open toed I would love the entire outfit but still can't quite figure out why.
