Last night's AMAs were not only about tripping all over yourself, they were also about bad fashion. Yay, our favorite!

Nicole Kidman continues to underwhelm us in another pastel, ruffled, tiered dress, this time by Balenciaga. Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez went with too much matchy-matchy white in head-to-toe Gucci. We will say it's nice to see her smile and not doing that sex face she usually makes.  

A couple of question regarding Kristen Bell. What is she doing there? And is that really a tube top with a high-waisted skirt? OK, cool, just wanted to make sure we were seeing things right because...ew!

Kate Hudson was there to pimp Nine (you know, the movie where she sings) in a vintage Gianni Versace chainmail dress that was not only totally shapeless but was on the verge of exposing some nipple...

We're concerned about Leighton Meester. We've always loved her as Gossip Girl's resident queen bee, Blair Waldorf, which makes it difficult for us to accept her as a pop star. But we know how it works with these actresses: If it's not a record deal, it'll be a clothing line or jewelry designing or perfume. So if Leighton wants to sing, fine. (Plus "Somebody to Love" is cheeky fun.)

What concerns us, though, is Leighton's attempt at a sexy image makeover to go along with the pop career. There was the "Somebody to Love" music video where she looked like she was trying way too hard to bring the sexy. And this photo (left) from December's GQ is more uncomfortable than titillating.

She showed more poor decision-making skills at last night's American Eagle flagship store opening in New York City. The evidence:

It's done.

"I no longer work for Rachel, we separated. We are divorced. I'm not in touch with anyone. It's done," Taylor Jacobson confirms exclusively to E! News in her first interview since leaving the employ of stylist to the stars Rachel Zoe.

Despite spending two years as a main character on Bravo's The Rachel Zoe Project, Jacobson says she won't miss seeing herself on the show.

Because she never watched it!

"I never watch it. Never, ever, ever! I've never seen a whole episode. I've seen clips, but that's all," Jacobson reveals to E! "It wasn't entertaining to me because it was just my job and it was just being filmed, so I didn't see a reason to watch it."

Jacobson says she admires artists like Lady Gaga and Katy Perry, and hopes to get into more music-related projects. As well, she's already moved onto new TV ventures, such as contributing her expertise to E!'s New Moon-themed installment of Fashion Police along with Giuliana Rancic and Louise Roe.

Check out Taylor in action in the above clip as she turns her discerning eye on Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson.

It's been a whirlwind week of press junkets and wardrobe changes for the Twilight trinity. But unlike Rob and Taylor, who can simply throw on a clean pair of jeans in each new city (scratch that, Rob's probably wearing the same dirty pair), Kristen Stewart's expected to debut a new designer getup with each photo op.

So there was the D&G wife-beater in Mexico, the romantic J. Mendel dress in Paris, Proenza Schouler's wacky red carpet outing in London, an Elizabeth and James appearance in Spain and finally Balenciaga at a second Spanish fan event.

All in all, it added up to a dizzying week of vastly different looks. We have a fairly good guess what K.Stew picked out herself (bleached jeans and a tank on the red carpet...really?) and which outfit might have come via a stylist or fashion-friendly publicist (hello, girly white gauze!). But we think it's time Kristen asserted herself and picked one consistent style—even if it makes us cringe.

Glamour Woman of the Year cover girl Rihanna was honored by the lady mag last night, so you wouldn't want her to wear something normal, now would you?

Of course not! The thing is, we weren't exactly expecting the pop princess to wear this Stéphane Rolland mermaid wedding gown, especially after all the edgy rock star stuff she's favored lately...and that "ef love" statement she made. But Rihanna doesn't care what we expect.

Now, the dress can go two ways. One: Gross! Why is she wearing something made out of cheap miniblinds?! Or two: That's right, Rihanna! You pick the craziest, tightest, most dramatic, attention-grabbing thing you can find and rock it!

We gotta say, we definitely fall into the latter category with this one. Only Rihanna could make us feel this way.

If you happen to be stuck in a wardrobe rut, look to Suri Cruise for answers.

Today, Suri teaches us how to take one look from daytime to night.

Take this hot pink dress, purple sweater and metallic silver leggings. Sure it works for flying in your helicopter from Boston to New York City (did we mention how relatable Suri is?), but say you want to quickly dress it up for a fancy dinner and night out on the town. How would you do that?

Let Suri show you how!

Leona Lewis was at MTV's European Music Awards yesterday where she performed her latest single "Happy."

She had walked the red carpet in harem pants so we weren't expecting too much from her stage style. But then the X Factor winner changed into this amazing custom Vivienne Westwood gown for her performance, and whoa! Total diva status.

We are digging the extravagant full tulle skirt and pointy PVC corset. Not only does it flatter her figure, but she goes all the way crazy-fierce evil Barbie—and owns it.

It's like a slap in the face to everyone playing it too safe on the red carpet.

Well, look who it is! Lady Gaga accepting her Stylemaker Award at the 13th annual Accessories Council Excellence Awards. Is she wearing something crazy?

Yes, of course.

But really, what else do we expect from Gaga? A Marc Jacobs outfit with the underwear on the outside, an Erickson Beamon lace headpiece, an Afro wig, all that covered in white powder and topped off with a creepy hand pose—it's just part of the never-ending Gaga experience.

It's all gone so far past the point of "OMG, look at her! What a unique snowflake this commercial pop artist is..." to just plain normal. Maybe that's what she wants, though? That way when we're least expecting it, she'll pop up in jeans and a T-shirt and seriously shock us all so bad the whole world will just stop.

In the meantime, we'll get more Gaga as she's now a M.A.C spokeslady. Cannot escape the Gaga.

Kristen Stewart stopped in Brazil Sunday to promote New Moon (or Lua Nova). Sadly, there was no Robert Pattinson at her side, only Taylor Lautner, who actually managed to keep his shirt on.

Per usual, Kristen was doing her too-cool-for-school thing in a sequined skirt and trendy blazer. It's like business rock 'n' roll casual, perfect for the office or talking about why people in Brazil like vampires.

In fact, we didn't really have any complaints until we panned up to the hair. Oof. That Joan Jett cut is really taking a long time to grow out, and K.Stew doesn't even seem to bother styling it. We've all been there, growing out short hair is the worst, but maybe just try a little updo, Teen Choice Awards-style.

We will continue to monitor the hair situation as the New Moon tour continues on. Next stop: Mexico.

Chris Brown had his first comeback show last night at a Power 105.1 concert in East Rutherford, New Jersey. (Required note: his first since assaulting Rihanna.)

To kick off his Fan Appreciation Tour, the R&B singer decided to dress up like his idol, Michael Jackson. Or maybe it's more like Chris dressing up as Kanye dressing up as M.J. Either way, it's perfect timing since he couldn't make it to a This Is It premiere, and we know how much C. Brown loves M.J. covers.

But you know, sometimes we just get so worked up, we lose perspective. Compared to what happened later in the show—ripping off his shirt and humping the stage—maybe we should just let him carry on with his cheap impression of Michael.

Yes, of course, AnnaLynne McCord, thigh-high boots and gold lamé leggings are the perfect thing to wear for a gas-pumping paparazzi show.

And yet it appears the starlet's personality is just as layered as her top half—T-shirt, scarf, leather jacket. The adorable little Mini Cooper and comforting chocolate milk do a lot to soften the skank boot edge. So which is she: a bad girl, a good girl or way more complicated than we're trying to pigeonhole her?

Who knows? What is most unfortunate is the way the oversize sunglasses are hiding our favorite part of the 90210 starlet: the crazy eyes. Sure, she looks a little a nutty in this photo, but we really need the eyes to drive home the point that this is AnnaLynne McCrazy.

Oh dear, Lindsay Lohan seemed to be morphing into Donatella Versace at the Whitney Museum's Gala in NYC last night.

Maybe Michael Lohan is doing the right thing by making an appearance on Maury to ask his daughter to stop with the prescription drugs or whatever he says she's on now?

Wow. We just suggested Michael Lohan could be doing something right, that's how concerned we are by everything going on in this picture.

Let us all remember Lindsay is 23, while Donatella is a 54-year-old former party girl turned designer. They have the same bleached hair, same seemingly enhanced lips that go all weird when they try to smile, same little party dresses...

Really, the only difference is Lindsay's the one who can barely open her eyes.
