Shailene Woodley in Peter Pilotto at the Teen Choice Awards: cool or confusing?

Shailene Woodley stepped out for the Teen Choice Awards last night to scoop up two surfboards. She wore a Peter Pilotto dress that was a visual assault on my eyeballs. Shailene’s been wearing complicated, busy fabrics lately, and she continues the trend. Last night’s selection featured diagonal stripes, a feathery print on the bodice, a contrast skirt, and two-toned sleeves. This dress is a mess. Something nice: Shailene doesn’t care about trends. She also kept her hair very simple and slicked back. The red Kurt Geiger pumps were an acceptable shoe choice.

Shailene won the Choice Movie Actress award for Divergent and the 2014 Movie Drama award for Fault in Our Stars. While accepting the award for Divergent Shailene said, “the truest form of bravery and courage is to wake up every day and be ourselves.” During the Movie drama speech she talked about teenagers with cancer. She said that “nothing is fair” in regards to who gets sick and that “all we have is moments.” Shailene posed with Ansel Elgort and Nat Wolff in the awards room. These dudes didn’t bother to get dressed up at all.

Zendaya gets my vote for best dressed. Not necessarily because I like what she wore, but she wore these two ensembles with confidence. Is that a wig? It must be. Zendaya won the Candies style icon award, so she went to town. Her red carpet outfit was a Material Girl dress. Z’s the current face of the label, and she wore modified version of the dress Madonna wore in her video. The result was a cute pink halter number that Z accessorized with a Swarovski clutch and jewels plus pink Louboutins.

Zendaya’s second look was an oversized, zebra-print Emanual Ungaro shirt with Nicholas Kirkwood boots. This outfit would have looked hideous on almost anyone else, but Z owns it.

Selena Gomez chose this moment to go sophisticated in a Saint Laurent pantsuit. This is a bizarre choice for the TCAs where Selena usually wears a flouncy dress with a mullet. Selena looks beautiful but boring here. She won the Ultimate Choice Award and dedicated the award to her mother. Selena said, “amidst all the stuff that we deal with, you remind me of what’s important, and that’s giving and loving and caring about each other.” (Note: Selena recently fired her parents as managers in April.)

Victoria Justice wore a white lace dress by Rebecca Minkoff. My first reaction to this dress was “crochet fug,” but the doily looks prettier with every passing second. It isn’t that bad. Victoria found a way to get away with a disguised minidress at a teen show.
