Color RULED the red carpet at the People's Choice Awards Wednesday night. Over all, the dresses (and one tux) were anything but boring -- love it! There were, of course, a few, how do we say ... odd choices -- but if this is what we have to look forward to for the rest of 2012, we can't wait for the rest of awards show season!

Read on for the BEST (two categories: "Color-Me-Awesome" and "Sometimes black, white and neutral is the sexiest of all"), the "WEIRD BUT OK! LET'S GO WITH IT!", and theHMMMMMM.

THE BEST: The "Color-Me-Awesome" Category

Emma Stone in a killer Gucci tux

Day-um! And look at those sassy, sexy shoes. Emma Stone KILLED it last night.

Jennifer Lawrence in Viktor and Rolf

Bold, bright and kind of weird. Perfect!

Nina Dobrev in Elie Saab

I would kind of like to buy Nina a cupcake (or eight), but I love this emerald green and the lace sleeves. If you dig her Lauren Merkin "Lucca" clutch in blush snake embossed, you can get the champagne version at laurenmerkin.com for a mere $295. (Sigh.)

Ginnifer Goodwin in Roksanda Ilincic

Pink is my favorite color! Love the cagey shoes.

Colbie Smuthers in Reem Acra

Yes another vidid, fearless color, paired with that solid gold choker that is TO DIE for.

THE BEST: The "Sometimes black, white and neutral is the sexiest of all" Category

Lea Michelle in Marchessa

Is she grinning because she knows she's going to win? Or because it's THAT much fun to wear such an awesome gown?

Vanessa Hudgens in Jenny Packham

LOVE how much fun Vanessa's having on the red carpet! We have to show some more photos...

Work it, girly! And how glam are those bright gold Arunashi earrings and bangle?

Kayley Cuoco in Badgley Mischka

A little more on the safe side, but gorgeous nonetheless. Non? By the way, this is but ONE of Kaley's TWELVE outfits of the night. Yes. Also, according to St. Tropez Skin Finishing Expert Fiona Locke, Kaley's secret to that beautiful glow is St. Tropez Gold Skin Illuminator. You may not be able to get the dress, but you can get the tan! Heh.

Miley Cyrus in David Koma

This has all the elements of a perfect red carpet choice for Miley: it's sexy but not trying to hard, glam but still fun and fashion-forward, and she looks great in it! Miley is also wearing platinum and 5-carat diamond stud earrings by Neil Lane, who seriosuly must send celebrities swag for their birthdays. Me next, Neil!

Shay Mitchell in Naem Khan

This pretty little liar looks gorg, doesn't she? The lucky little you-know-what is wearing not one but TWO IPPOLITA "Wicked" rings in black rhodium with black onyx and diamonds. Drool! (Side note: I once attended an IPPOLITA preview where they had to pry the jewelry off me before I left. Nooooo!) She's also sporting a Nicholai by NICKY HILTON "Samantha" ring.

THE "WEIRD BUT OK! LET'S GO WITH IT!"

Carly Chaiken

This starlet of "Suburgatory" made a bold move with this somewhat odd number, be we kinda like it! What do you think?

Lucy Hale in Cengiz Abazoglu

Another out-there choice -- Love the bead-embellishing of this assymetrical black dress from the designer's Summer 2010 Haute Couture Collection. I'm on the fence though about the train. Thoughts? Lucy is also wearing gorgeous Sutra earrings and a Baccarat ring.

Jennifer Morrison

This probably seemed like a good idea at the time.

And finally...

THE HMMMMMMM

Ashley Greene in DKNY

Well, Carrie Keagan certainly does have a nice pair of boobs. Might we suggest a new stylist to go with them?

Kelly Osbourne

Love the tangerine bottom half; intensely dislike the odd lavender-gray hair.
