Oh, Kristen. It must be so tough to date a vampire. All that blood loss is clearly killing your brain cells and impairing your fashion sense. That has to be the explanation for your Teen Choice Awards get-up:

Somewhere a goth ice dancer yearns to wear this skirt as she twirls and lutzes (angrily and all emo-like, of course) to the Cure's "Fascination Street." Imagine how the arena lights would catch the metal daggers!

Seriously, though, the skirt has potential. It's the top that kills it. I mean, is this a dress layered over a J.Crew Favorite Tank? (Been there, done that. What else can you do when a long and ill-advised sweater vest dips too low in the front and becomes NSFW?) Yes, it's the Teen Choice Awards, and yes, you can slack a little on the red carpet. But there's no excuse for such sloppy layering.

I won't quibble too much about the hair. I know KS is playing Joan "Reigning Queen of the Black She-Mullet" Jett in an upcoming movie. But, how about temporary extensions? A wig? A neat updo? A shower, at the very least?

Alas, it could be worse, as Russian singer An-Ya so aptly demonstrates:

Oh boy. Well, what you can expect from someone whose latest Tweets include: "I want to harmonize with a hummingbird" and "Hmmm...what to wear tonight.. Any ideas?!" NOT THIS, GIRL, NOT THIS.
