Selena Gomez in cutout Versace at Billboard Music Awards: sexy or meh?

Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber had their big public reunion last night at the Billboard Music Awards, and although they walked the blue carpet seperately, they did sit together and kissed for everyone, which … sucks. I’m firmly in the “showmance reunion” camp for this event because both Justin and Selena performed onstage last night, and I have a feeling that Scooter Braun got together with Selena’s people and encouraged them to make nice. They’ll probably “break up” again next week.

Anyway, Selena wore this semi-futuristic, white Atelier Versace gown with neon details that featured mesh cutouts in the front and back. In the front, we’re seeing a bit of peekaboo boob curve, which isn’t terribly scandalous. If anything, I expected Selena to mix things up a bit more because this look is a little boring for her. Her hair and makeup look lovely though.

Carly Rae Jepsen

Carly Rae Jepsen synchronized with the nearly all-black dress code at this event. She won the award for “Top Digital Song Artist” — probably because of that awful “Call Me Maybe” song that played everywere on the internet (as well as at last year’s Olympics). Carly Rae wore a Dyanthe dress with little mullety side details at the bottom, and she looks pretty good here even though she matched her eyeliner to her new auburn hair color.

Alyssa Milano

Alyssa Milano disappointed last night in this one-shouldered, white number that looked like a dressy toga that one would wear to a stuffy tea party. Man, I used to have such a girlcrush on her during the “Who’s the Boss?” era. She seemed ageless for so long, but it’s obvious that the urge to Botox has inevitably taken charge.

Jennifer Nettles

Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland seemed out of place in this baby pink Georges Chakra dress. She just had a baby last December though, so I have to give her kudos for the rocking bod.

    i like Gomez’s dress because it’s age adequate for her

  2. Apples says:

    Selena looks cute. Not my style but, it’s not too old looking, sexy and fun.

    I agree with this comment I read last night, “Why is Alyssa Milano dressed like a Las Vegas grandmother?”

  3. squeakie says:

    ehh im not crazy about selenas dress, carly’s is pretty bad as well. Carly rae is so stunning I cant believe shes 26! I look older than her and I am only 24 :/

  4. Buckwild says:

    Holy chipmunk cheeks. But those will come in handy as she ages and keep her young for longer!

  5. sarah says:

    I like Selena’s dress.

    As for Alyssa Milano… She is STILL Super gorgeous. Her face is still perfect. I don’t see your “urge to Botox” at all.

    • Zimmer says:

      I like Selena’s dress too. As for Milano, the dress is cute, minus the sheer skirt and wish her hair was done differently. Other than that, she still works it.

  6. Anna says:

    Selena’s hair actually bugs me in this – she should have gone sleek, otherwise those fly-aways are distracting. Otherwise, I really like the dress. It’s definitely different from your normal starlet-wear and perfect for the occasion.

  7. chaine says:

    Selena is such a babyface. She looks like a little girl playing dress-up with mommy’s clothes and makeup.

    • choppersann 13 says:

      ^^ this…that face and side peek a boob look ridiculous together

    • bk says:

      Plus, her face looks puffy here. She normally does have that babyface, and this time she’s rocking a little baby double chin, too. Is it coke bloat?

  8. Sel says:

    Jennifer Nettles is giving me body envy. She looks fantastic, although I do agree the dress doesn’t quite feel right for the occasion. Maybe it it were in a bolder color?

  9. sal says:

    She looks terrible, and I can’t stand her anymore.

  10. Manchurian Global says:

    Alyssa’s makeup is horrible – it looks like she did it herself. She’s usually flawless.

    I really, really wish they would end this sheer skirt / dress bottom trend. It is fug beyond all belief.

  11. Jackson says:

    Selena looks great although I would have liked a little more….something….with her hair in the front. That dress really works on her and it’s right for the occasion.
    Alyssa….I did not recognize her in the first pic and that dress looks way too matronly for her even though it’s got the sheer fabric. The next pic I think she looks great. Definitely forehead botox but she doesn’t look odd or filled, etc.

  12. Reece says:

    Dear Selena’s makeup artist,

    You do not put on the entire bottle of liquid eyeliner when she’s wearing a neon dress. The lipstick is a very good color. Looks good on her, works with the outfit but the eyes are awful.

    Sincerely,
    Me

    • Bitca says:

      I think Selena looks adorable—or would—were it not for the 7 coats of eyeliner. Used delicately, it can make eyes look larger, bright, & sparkling. But like Kate Moss, her cosmeticians go OTT w/the liner brush.

      Dress is cute & not crass, but is overshadowed w/all that eye makeup & the botched experiment with bed-headed, tousled hair. She’s so cute it seems sad to to see her face overshadowed by makeup—with the fun glowy details on the dress, I really wish they’d aimed for a sweet, sex-kitten 21st C Barbarella look on the face too.

      Alyssa Milano is suffering from an excess of foundation in a shade at least 2x too pale. It creates a clown-face effect, & unnatural shine associated with botox.

      It’s weird; you’d think LA must be overpopulated with talented makeup artists & stylists, but if it is, few of them seem to be getting work.

    It’s cute

  14. elo says:

    I have a very hard time, using the word sexy for Gomez. She is beautiful and youthful, no doubt, but she always looks like a child to me. That said, I think the dress was cool, I just may have liked it more on someone else.

  15. only1shmoo says:

    What in the glow stick hell was that?!

  16. kim says:

    Gomer gomez jad on a nice plain dress. Would have been cuter without the outdated 2010 neon though. Neon looks dumb on soooooo many people so it’s not her fault.

    Alyssa- mixed feelings. Dress sucked, but at the same time said greek goddess so…….u just can’t decide.

    Sugarland chick- country pink via 2001 was ok.

    Carly r- kind of gritty. Like a person that can take a thousand showers and still appear dirty, but that could have been what she was going for.

  17. janie says:

    She is the cutest! She looked great last nite. I will say it’s close to being too old for her. She has such a tiny frame..

  18. Claudia says:

    Goddamn, Alyssa is wearing a crapload of makeup here. It is super caked on and doesn’t match her skin tone, she looks awful. I think she’s having skin issues (pesky breakouts) but she overcompensated with all the foundation and powder. It’s too much.

  19. Melissa says:

    Selena looks great, and a little less chipmunk-cheeked than usual. I feel like she looks a little like Victoria Beckham here (if Victoria ate once in awhile).

    Alyssa Milano looks terrible – the Botox is so obvious in the close-up, as is the terrible makeup job.

  20. mar says:

    Selena has coke bloat

    what is up with these ugly zombie eyeshadows????

  21. serena says:

    More than botoxed I’d say Alyssia had too much white powder on her face. I have a long-lasting girlcrush on her too, since ‘Charmed’ she is so beautiful.

    I also like Selena Gomez’s dress, it’s cute and kind of unusual.

  22. Mandy says:

    I don’t know, I’m kinda digging Selena’s dress. I’m a sucker for neon colors! Maybe it’s because I’m a child of the 90’s 🙂 I had a girl crush on Alyssa Milano, too! I was just watching an old episode of “Who’s the Boss” the other day and it brought back a lot of memories! SIGH

  23. blaize says:

    I like it.

  24. april says:

    Selena looks great. Love the dress and lipstick. Without all the makeup she would look 10 years old.

  25. Katie says:

    Carly’s dress is hideous, see-through, and unflattering. Am I the only one that can see that? You can see the full outline of… EVERYTHING

  26. 4EvaRedd says:

    ha! ha! I thought Alyssa Milano was Jackie Collins!! She tried too hard.
