The 2018 Teen Choice Awards have been handed out, and now it's time for the best part of the pink carpet — judging the fashion! The youthful show means celebs often take fashion risks, but whose paid off? Let's find out, starting with one star who missed the mark — Chloe Grace Moretz! Can anyone figure out what's happening here? From the looks of it, it appears Chloe just threw on a black T-shirt, a multicolored patterned skirt and tossed a tan Louis Vuitton blazer over top. We know it's likely much more planned than that — the blazer includes the same fabric on the cuffs as the skirt — but that doesn't mean we like it! This look just didn't translate on the pink carpet. Keep reading to see more of the best and worst dressed celebs at the TCAs!

Gorgeous in emerald green! Olivia Holt arrived on the pink carpet in this stunning minidress by Daniele Carlotta. The fancy full-sleeved frock also featured a plunging neckline and was complemented perfectly by strappy Nicholas Kirkwood heels. Next up, her beauty look!

Well, he certainly made a splash! The host of the night, Nick Cannon, inexplicably arrived in this Gucci rainbow panther sweatsuit — sans shirt. To finish off his multicolored ensemble, he added some neon yellow high tops. Oh, and he wore sunglasses and carried headphones.
Camila Mendes brought a touch of soft, romantic glamour to the pink carpet, opting for this pale pink dream of a dress. The thick-strapped confection with a full tea-length skirt paired perfectly with her impeccably matched heels, and those drop earrings were an excellent accessory choice. Next up, her beauty look!
Camila Mendes' beauty look proved less is more! The "Riverdale" beauty rocked her hair in simple waves and kept her makeup minimal, resulting in a soft, lovely look.
The ladies of "Riverdale" did not disappoint! Well, most of them didn't… But we'll get to that later! Lili Reinhart looked like the belle of the Teen Choice Awards ball in this gorgeous strapless and sequined hot pink floor-length design by Monique Lhuillier. We loved her lighter pink Olgana Paris shoe choice too.
Well, at least we knew right away who to blame for Normani's Teen Choice Awards look — Tommy Hilfiger! The star wore a bandeau top with a mismatched, full plaid skirt — which also included branding by the designer along the waistband and an overdone thigh-high slit. Next!
What do we love more — "The Kissing Booth" or Joey King's darling Teen Choice Awards dress? That's a tough decision! Her tiered, ruffled black confection by Leilou was one of our favorite looks of the night, and it was made even more stylish with those black peep-toe platforms.
We're used to loving Lucy Hale's Teen Choice Awards ensembles, but her look at the 2018 show didn't wow us. We just didn't love her strapless Mary Katranzou dress, which featured a mosaic-like multicolored print, nor that slit up the center. Next up, her beauty look!
We're all for unexpected pops of color around the eyes, but Lucy Hale's bright green hue lost us. The dramatic eye makeup clashed with her otherwise demure nude lip and natural blush shade. On the plus side, that bob looks great!
We love when men step outside the box on a red carpet, but on a pink carpet? Even better! That's why "Riverdale" star KJ Apa gets extra points for arriving in this salmon-colored combo — a cuffed short-sleeved button-down and coordinating trousers. We'll even excuse his sneakers, because this look is just that good!
Also doing the "Riverdale" cast proud? Cole Sprouse, who made a denim shirt work on the pink carpet. How? By pairing it with a white suit jacket, black pants and boots. That bandana around his neck didn't hurt either!
Bebe Rexha can nearly always be counted on to deliver a fashion miss, and tonight was no exception! The singer didn't let us down when she showed up rocking this unfortunate pink latex-like pantsuit by La Roxx with a beaded August Getty bustier and Prada shoes in a surprisingly entirely different shade of hot pink… who knew there were so many?
We'll never tire of pajama-inspired ensembles! Meghan Trainor served up the latest example — this sparkly black combo with silver piping — and we're obsessed! The look is just dressy enough yet also fun and festive enough for the youthful award show. Those silver pumps completed things perfectly!
The Teen Choice Awards certainly isn't the place for ultra-formal couture, but that doesn't mean wear jeans, Noah Cyrus! The singer sported some seriously baggy denim and a crop top, finishing things off with sparkly silver platforms, resulting in a snoozy pink carpet getup.
Nina Dobrev went with mellow yellow for the 2018 Teen Choice Awards, donning this chic long-sleeved minidress with buttons down the front and fun pocket detailing on the chest. The metallic shoe choice elevated this look even further, and her bold red lip sealed the deal on this hit!
Black and gold! Rachel Bloom showed up in a simple, pretty little black dress, but it was her shoe choice that stole the show! We loved how she added these gorgeous gold velvet sandals!
There were a sea of black dresses at the 2018 Teen Choice Awards, and we couldn't love them all. Katherine Langford's Alberta Ferretti frock fell in that pile, with its dramatic high neck, polka-dotted sheer long sleeves and chunky belt design. Though we weren't feeling her dress, her makeup was an entirely different story…
Katherine Langford shined when it came time for her beauty look. The star sported stunning bedazzled star designs in place of winged eyeliner and kept everything else shimmery and luminous. And her updo made sure all eyes were on her artful face!
She did it! Though Anna Kendrick nearly always ends up on our miss list, the star surprised us with this Teen Choice Awards appearance. Anna donned a slinky pink spaghetti-strap minidress that featured silver sequined paneling and a tiny slit at the hemline. Her silver shoes complemented the ensemble perfectly, wowing us in a great way.
It's either a huge hit or a monstrous miss when it comes to Madelaine Petsch's red carpet choices, and her TCA look landed among the latter. The "Riverdale" star sported a getup more fit for a day out than an award show — floral-print pants and a matching crop top combo by Giambattista Valli. She went with Giuseppe Zanotti platform shoes, which we adored, but they certainly didn't save her look.
Leopard print with pops of purple? Sign us up! We fell hard for Storm Reid's sweet Teen Choice Awards mini, a long-sleeved leopard-print frock with a purple floral motif embellished over top. And though we weren't crazy about her shoe choice — bulky boots — we loved this dress enough to see past those!
A white T-shirt? Surely Dominic Sherwood could have worn something a little more interesting at the 2018 Teen Choice Awards! The "Shadowhunters" star makes the miss list for this snore of a look — a basic tee, black jeans and boots.
Purple, black hearts and silver fringe? Though it doesn't sound like it would work on paper, Sabrina Carpenter's Teen Choice Awards look proved these elements actually do work perfectly together! Her two-piece Fausto Puglisi getup, comprised of a long-sleeved top and a short skirt with metallic fringe detailing, was tied together with a thick black belt and completed with those dreamy Brian Atwood platforms.
What? And why? Those were our two biggest questions when it came to Katherine McNamara's TCAs look. The star wore a super-long trench-style striped blazer with mismatched striped shorts by Emporio Armani and a cropped black tank. The Casadei over-the-knee boots just brought attention to the length of those super-short shorts and also further confused us as to why she chose this look.
We loved Cozi Zuehlsdorff's sweet tea-length number on the pink carpet! Her sparkly rose-hued dress, complete with a square neckline and thick straps, provided a wonderful pop of color, and those floral heels added an extra layer of fun!
Nun couture? We're not quite sure what Maia Mitchell was thinking in this matronly minidress. From the white collar and netted detailing at the neckline to the tie-like detail down the front to the full skirt and exaggerated sleeves, it's safe to say this was an instant miss.
Does Candace Cameron Bure even age? The "Fuller House" beauty wore this simple yet stunning pink number featuring straps and a thigh-high slit. She finished her look off with an updo and a pair of strappy black sandals for an overall chic look.
We're really hoping the sheer trend ends soon, and that includes faux-sheer like Hannah Stocking's minidress. The frock featured the trend on the bodice and sleeves and even though the dress had pockets (always a plus with us!), the odd tiny slit at the hemline lost us again.
Terri Seymour kept things super-simple in this cap-sleeved neutral-shade frock — but it was the unexpected elements that jazzed it up a bit. From the asymmetrical cut-out along the stomach to the slit up the left knee, we were fans of this dress.
