The 11 best and worst dressed stars of the Billboard awards

The Billboard Music Awards don’t have the cachet of, say, the Grammys or the VMAs, so we weren’t expecting much in the way of memorable red-carpet fashion.

And rightly so.

The looks were generally lukewarm, and most evoked the kind of lazy club outfits that typify the Sin City strip — small, tight and tacky. There were copious cutouts and cropped things (because it’s May in Las Vegas and because what else nowadays?), and white was the non-color of the night.

Here are the things that did stand out, however — the good, the bad, and the “no, girl.”

The good:

J.Lo ruled supreme

Lopez looked like a desert goddess in layers of diaphanous crimson chiffon, courtesy of Donna Karan.

Kelly Rowland left little to the imagination

But it worked. Because, kids, if you’re going to flaunt your tatas in a silk satin bra top, you have to balance it out with a long, high-waisted skirt. Otherwise, you’re Miley Cyrus.

Kendall and Kylie Jenner killed it

It’s not exactly haute couture, but it’s not exactly Cannes, either. Together, the sisters looked ready to claim their Kardashian birthright as the hottest, most bronzed chicks this side of the Mojave.

Lucy Hale looked sweet

Hale in this Alex Perry color block dress paired with a Lucite clutch might have jumped right out of the pages of Lucky. It’s a perfect fit for the girl who’s made a career of looking like someone you want to take to prom/home to mom.

So did Andi Dorfman

And because no one else will care to include “The Bachelorette” star, we want to point out that her little celestial shift dress is cool.

The bad:

Carrie Underwood was overdressed

Not as much as Ke$ha, but at least she didn’t decide on this sickening shade of chartreuse fresh from the sci-fi bridal shop. Speaking of . . .

Cher Lloyd was a bridesmaid

In this embroidered purple nightmare, just call her the wedding singer.

Miranda Lambert as Barbie

It was nothing anyone wants to play with.

Natasha Bedingfield pulled a Natasha Bedingfield

She wore an ensemble that embodies her music: flowery, transparent and cheesy.

No, girl:

Lindsey Stirling, whoever you are, please don’t do this again — ever.
