Celine Dion in Valentin Yudashkin at the 2016 Billboard Awards

Before she accepted her Icon award, Celine Dion delivered an emotional performance of 'The Show Must Go On' last night at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards in which she posed for pictures in the  press room at the T Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

For the occasion, she turned to Russian designer VALENTINE YUDASHKIN. Her SPRING 2016 one-shoulder gold sequin evening dress featured a structured waist detail and a high split. My main issue here is her shoe choice. 

A simple gold strappy sandal would have been a better choice over her gold SAINT LAURENT metallic pumps. Also a side swept hairstyle would have complimented the dress. Other than that, I think this was the perfect dress for her amazing performance.

The 2016 Billboard Music Awards took place this evening at the T Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. To see all of the red carpet looks, click HERE and continue below for the wrap-up.

Keke Palmer wore the HOUSE OF HARLOT 'Loren' latex rubber mini dress in ruby. She offset her shiny, fitted number with the STUART WIETZMAN 'Nudist' tiger print sandals. Keke admitted on the carpet that the dress started to make her sweat which comes as no surprise. A high top knot with bangs & ATELIER SWAROVSKI BY MASHA MA earrings completed her look. 

Serayah showed of her midriff in a BAJA EAST FALL 2016 ensemble which featured a black one-shoulder corp top and black & white satin dotted trousers. With the exception of her shoe choice, I though she looked great. Curly locks, a statement necklace and a black clutch topped off her look. 

Lucy Hale wore a ZUHAIR MURAD PRE-FALL 2016 burgundy long sleeve embroidered knit turtleneck and a black lace embroidered mini skirt. GIUSEPPE ZANOTTI sandals, a black clutch, smokey eyes and a slick, center part ponytail topped off her look.

Rihanna in Vintage Thierry Mugler at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards

Taking a break from her 'AntiTour', Rihanna attended and performed at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards this evening at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. 

She hit the carpet in a VINTAGE THIERRY MUGLER SPRING 1998 long sleeve brown silk asymmetrical snap dress with thin lapels, a v-neckline, flap pockets and padded shoulders. 

Brown can be one of those tricky colors I think to pull off but I thought Riri looked great. Also I like the MANOLO BLAHNIK 'Borli' crystal satin & suede lace embroidered mules with this dress. Statement jewelry and a short wavy cut with bangs topped off her look.

Idina Menzel & Laverne Cox in Michael Costello at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards

Idina Menzel and Laverne Cox both stepped out in black MICHAEL COSTELLO FALL 2016 dress this evening at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. 

Idina Menzel shimmered in a black sequin and ribbed strap fitted dress with cold shoulders. Idina's  knee length dress is a modified version of the floor length gown. She also added a sheer illusion panel to the bodice for coverage. I think the modified dress worked in her favor. Silver drop earrings, black sandals, a Bespoke EDIE PARKER clutch and straight off-the-shoulder tresses finished up her look. 

Laverne Cox worked her frame in a long sleeve train detail gown with sequin embroidered panels. I thought Laverne looked beautiful but I think she is a bit overdressed for the Billboards. She could have saved this for a more dressier occasion. Her make-up and hair looked great as well. 

Who's Costello look do you favor?

Priyanka Chopra in Atelier Versace at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards

Priyanka Chopra just finished wrapping her film Baywatch and this evening she hit the pink carpet at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. 

The 'Quantico' star wore a blue ATELIER VERSACE SPRING 2016 crossover split detail dress with a draped asymmetrical open-back and a black contrasting strap.

Love the color and even though her look doesn't excite, I still thought she looked great in this dress. However I wish she wore a more interesting pair of heels. Her black mesh CASADEI sandals are cute but it is a safe choice. A braided ponytail completed her look.

Kristen Bell, Kathryn Hahn & Mila Kunis at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards

Gearing up for the release of their new film 'Bad Moms', Kristen Bell, Kathryn Hahn and Mila Kunis posed together on the red carpet at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards this evening at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. 

Kristen Bell wore a JONTHAN SIMKHAI SPRING 2016 black wavy halter dress with cut-out sides, blue contrasting panels and flare legs. Love this jumpsuit but I wish she added a colored lip. Center part waves and a smokey eye topped off her look. 

Kathryn Hahn wore a ALTUZARRA PRE-FALL 2016 red, black & white sequin & paillettes embroidered mini halter dress. I like the dress but it makes her look a bit boxy. Side swept waves, red lip and black sandals topped off her look. 

Mila Kunis shimmered in the sun wearing a ZUHAIR MURAD SPRING 2016 COUTURE strapless sheer silver embellished mini dress. Mia's dress hit the runway with a silver mirrored belt which I wish she kept. It enhanced the chic appeal of the dress on the runway. A high bun, smokey eyes and silver sandals finished up her look. 

Which Bad Mom had the best look?

Zendaya in Calvin Klein Collection at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards

Zendaya worked her statuesque frame on the pink carpet this evening at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. 

Showing off her toned midriff, she wore a custom CALVIN KLEIN COLLECTION peach crop bralette with the matching floor length skirt with a short train detail. 

Even though I wish she worked in some colored jewelry for a color balance, I still thought she looked beautiful. Her look worked nicely for the occasion. CHARLOTTE OLYMPIA sandals, JOHN HARDY & MONTBLANC jewelry, center part straight tresses and a smokey eye offset with a glossy lip, topped off her look.

Ariana Grande in Atelier Versace at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards

Upon her arrival, Ariana Grande tripped graceful on the pink carpet at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards this evening at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. 

For the occasion, she wore a ATELIER VERSACE SPRING 2016 cobalt blue and black halter cut-out dress with satin panels and a split detail. I don't really care for that half up half down ponytail but what I really dislike about her look, are those black GIUSEPPE ZANOTTI platform pumps.

She wears them with just about all of her looks and they work at all with any of them. I hope one day she lets them go because her red carpet looks has been improving lately but brought down because of her shoe choice. What do you think of Ariana's look?

On hand as a presenter, Jessica Alba hit the pink carpet at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards this evening at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. 

Working a dark, edgy look, she wore a ZUHAIR MURAD FALL 2016 sheer black long sleeve velvet embroidered turtleneck dress with a flare mini skirt. 

Beauty wise, she went with a blue & black smokey offset with a nude glossy lip and a sleek top knot. Her look is feels a bit heavy for now but she looked great. STUART WIETZMAN black suede thigh high boots topped off her look.

Halsey in Fausto Puglisi at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards

Halsey was overworking her legs hard on the pink carpet this evening at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. 

Showing some skin, she wore a FAUSTO PUGLISI FALL 2016 cut-out white embellished double split v-neck dress with black contrasting underlining. 

With her tattoos against this embellished dress, minimal styling was key here. Her signature short cut, light makeup and silver sandals topped off her look. Are you feeling Halsey's look?

Ciara in Philipp Plein at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards

Before she started her co-hosting duties, Ciara hit the pink carpet at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards  at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Serving up a lot of side boob action, she wore a PHILIPP PLEIN SPRING 2016 silver chain floor length dress with double side splits and very low arm hole openings.

I really thought she was going to have a nip slip on the carpet but I am sure that her dress was taped down really well. Nonetheless, she wore the dress nicely. Beauty wise she kept it simple with a smokey eye and a folded ponytail which topped off her look along with CASADEI sandals.

Britney Spears in Reem Acra at the 2016 Billboard Awards

Set to open the show, Britney Spears hit the pink carpet at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards this evening at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. 

Donning an risqué look, she wore a black long sleeve beaded chiffon lace romper with a long train detail and a black bra & briefs underneath. 

I am not 100% sure what the end game with her look was but I do love her SCHUTZ heels. This fit was so much better on the runway and I feel like this is more of a performance piece than a red carpet look. What do you think of Britney's look?
