10 Best 2017 Billboard Music Awards Looks
We can’t all be Cher. Just remember that before you scroll down to the pictures. Last night’s 2017 Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs) was a night of honoring the greats, and celebrating the magic of music that has transformed and created a soundtrack to life itself. The auditory treats of the evening were only set off by the visual spectacular of the edgy, glitzy styles that the stars of the music industry displayed on the shocking pink carpet. It was hard to narrow down the list, but here’s our pick of the top ten best looks:
The night’s big winner. Drake broke the record for the most wins in one night, 13 in total, at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards

#10 Vanessa Hudgens
The night’s co-host, actress Vanessa Hudgens, makes our list for her collective efforts throughout the evening. With eight total dress changes, some better than others, Vanessa showed that she was having fun with her fashion.
All wrapped in bows, Vanessa Hudgens in Marchesa was anything but a gift to us in this ornate look

What a tulle….and we do mean that in a good way
Now this Marchesa gown was drop dead gorgeous

#9 Lea Michele
Understated, yet memorable. Lea Michele looks like she’s exploring her dark side in this daring dress.

#8 Hailee Steinfeld
Hailee Steinfeld made burn out look beautiful. Youthful, with a dash of daring, this metallic David Koma dress played a little peek a boo with fans of the young actress, but left her covered just enough to keep her still “respectable” in the morning light. No walk of shame here.

#7 Olivia Munn
Olivia Munn in a sexy, sheer “naked-inspired” Redemption dress never needs to ask anyone for forgiveness looking this good!

#6 Sibley Scoles
Who you ask? Usually just reporting the news, Sibley Scoles is an E! News host who killed the futuristic cloaked Glamazon look on last night’s carpet. Keep this up Sibley and you’ll be front and center as the star of a show.

#5 Kate Beckinsale
Stars, stripes and fireworks. That’s how we’d describe this TNT packed Zuhair Murad gown worn by Kate Beckinsale. Kate definitively brought a little flash to the night and we’re not mad at her for it.

#4 Jesse James Decker
This country gal sure knows how to wear a jumpsuit! Fitted perfectly in all the right places, if you’re going to bare some skin this is how you do it tastefully and with just the right edge.

#3 Rita Ora
Business in the front and a party in the back, Rita Ora’s combo from last night drew mixed reviews from us.
Rita Ora wearing Francesco Scognamiglio Couture at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards left very little to the imagination. She took a risk and got away with it by the skin of her pants…oh that’s right she forgot those.

#2 Céline Dion
When you have the voice of an angel you deserve to dress like one. In a dress by designer Stephane Rolland that seemed to go on, singer Céline Dion tearfully sang her hit song “My Heart Will Go On”. The song from James Cameron’s iconic movie Titanic celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. Shut it down diva, your legacy will go on!

#1 Cher
Very few entertainers get to the heights of fame whereby they can be recognized worldwide by just one name. Age defying, timeless and awe-inspiring are just some of the words that come to the imagination when digesting Cher’s performance last night at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards. She definitely shut down the show and moved the marker on what it means to be called a true icon. We bow down to our number one best dressed… 2017 Icon Award recipient Cher! And now for the biggest bombshell, this is what she looks like at 71…. frankly we need to see birth papers before we believe it.

Cher gave heart pounding performance at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards in outfits that left nothing to the imagination. Move over Madonna…this is you walk the fine line between classy and trashy
Number one in everybody’s books, singer, Oscar-winner pop music legend and three-time Billboard Music Awards winner, Cher was honored with the prestigious ICON Award at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards.
