Proving that fashion pushes the envelope at music awards ceremonies, the 2012 Billboard Music Awards added to a string of interesting choices to the attendees and presenters alike.

Miley Cyrus in Jean Paul Gaultier

Showing that it’s never too early to grow up, Miley pulls a Britney (again) in a plunging white blazer and black-and-white ankle-strap pumps…and not much else.

 

Carrie Underwood in Oscar de la Renta

The country cutie looks like royalty in this tulle number.

 

Katy Perry in Blumarine

When the singer picks a dress, she matches her entire look around it–from head to toe (See 2012 Grammy Awards). Case in point: purple hair, lavender bangles and plum lips complement her shimmery lilac gown.

 

Taylor Swift in Elie Saab

The starlet opted for a more grown-up look and actually pulled it off (take a note, Miley) with sheer lace paneling and stick-straight tresses.

 

Jordin Sparks in Diane Von Furstenberg

While this dress was short and sweet, it was her amazing rendition of Whitney’s “I Will Always Love You” in a gold bustier gown with a navy skirt that took her beyond her American Idol years.

 

Alicia Keys in Azzedine Alaia Couture

The soulful songstress jammed with Stevie Wonder in this effortless curve-hugging gown. And only Keys could pull off that eccentric hairstyle.

 

Zooey Deschanel in Moschino

I’m not sure what prompted her to wear tights when it was 80 degrees outside in Las Vegas, but this is totally her style.
