About Billboard Music Awards Fashion

Two posts sit in this index, and both are about sparkle. Avril Lavigne Glitters at The 2013 Billboard Music Awards covers the singer's red carpet dress — a glittering look from a performer whose usual uniform was hoodies and ties, which is exactly why it was news. KE$HA Sparkles in Jupiter Jewelry at 2013 Billboard Music Awards is a jewelry post: the singer's look credited to Jupiter Jewelry. That same KE$HA post is collected three times on Apparel Search indexes — here, on the bangle index and on the bracelets index — because a single awards appearance can be a music story, a jewelry story and a bracelet story at once.

Music awards carpets dress differently from film awards carpets. Performers dress as an extension of their stage image, so the Billboard carpet mixes couture gowns with deliberately outrageous looks, and jewelry often carries the photograph — big, camera-friendly pieces that read at a distance. The two posts here sit at the polished end of that range. Readers who want more awards coverage will find the award ceremonies and red carpet style pages, Grammy fashion news, the CMT red carpet report and the evening dress and jewelry pages in the topic block below.

The 2013 ceremony was held in Las Vegas, and the setting matters to the coverage: a desert evening carpet in May runs hot, so fabrics are lighter and hemlines shorter than the winter awards shows, and after-party outfits — the second look of the night — get photographed almost as much as the arrivals. The blog's two posts catch the arrival looks; the after-party circuit is the context the index introduction points to when it mentions news from before the event and from the parties that follow it.
