See the top 15 young celebrities on the red carpet »

Is it just us or are young celebrities killing it on the red carpet as of late? When it comes to red carpet style, it’s expected to see some of our favourite (and more mature) celebrities making the list – think Diane Kruger, Cate Blanchett and Angelina Jolie. But lately, young starlets have been bringing their wardrobe A-game to the red carpet, naturally making their way onto best dressed lists alongside celebs that have been in the industry a lot longer. Sure, when it comes to talent, age doesn’t matter, but after stumbling across some of the ages of these young stars, we’d be lying if our minds weren’t blown to see how young these stars actually are. Because let’s be real here, some of us were not dressed so impeccably at age 14 (we’re looking at you Kiernan Shipka) or have Miu Miu campagins on our resume (ahem, Hailee Steinfeld and Elle Fanning). From up-and-coming Hollywood star Nicola Peltz to the industry’s top model Cara Delevingne, we’ve rounded up 15 A-lists stars under the age of 21 who have been topping the best dressed lists lately.

The rain couldn’t keep gossipmongers away from Lainey Gossip’s 9^th Annual Smut Soiree. The self appointed Dean of the Faculty of Celebrity Studies opened her dirt discussion, moderated by entertainment reporter Teri Hart, with the promise of “gossip jizz” and we all leaned in (not in the Sheryl Sandberg way), eyes widening. Herewith, the revelatory highlight reel:

A-list stars celebrated the start of May by rocking a dizzying assortment of outfits that reflected the hottest trends of this season. On Thursday night, the first annual iHeart Radio music awards took place in Los Angeles. While music diehards tuned in to watch their favourite singers on stage, we were busy keeping tabs on what they were bringing to the red carpet. Shakira and Selena Gomez shook things up in the fashion department with eye-catching two-piece ensembles, but it was Rihanna who stole the show (really, when does she not?) in a skin-baring lace dress and vibrant emerald-green lipstick.

While the MTV VMAs had a line-up of fashionable celebrities in attendance, Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez topped our best-dressed list at last night’s award show. Gracing the red carpet in strikingly similar midnight-blue gowns, we instantly wondered if these IRL best friends planned to go matchy-matchy ahead of time. (Please say yes!) At the very least, it’s hard for us to decide which singer wore the colour best.

For Taylor Swift, award shows are all about dancing during performances as they are a reason to get totally glammed up. Channeling 1920s elegance, the pop-country songstress looked stunning in a signature bandage midnight-blue gown by Herve Leger (her second one this summer), complete with sparkling beads on the bodice and a plunging neckline.

Ah, the MTV VMAs! If there’s one award show that calls for stars to go all out in clever costumery, it’s the VMAs. This is, after all, the event that Gwen Stefani wore a blue fun fur bikini to and where Lil’ Kim made pasties a trending topic before Twitter even existed. Basically, the rule is that you have to become a spectacle at the VMAs if you want to stand out.

Rising to the top of the VMAs 2013 best dressed challenge was, of course, Miley Cyrus. Just a day earlier she had released the ’90s-worthy cover art for her next album, Bangerz, which will certainly be the final step in the campaign to completely forget her Disney upbringing. On the VMA red carpet, Miley opted to keep it skin-tight in a crop top and leggings courtesy Dolce & Gabbana. The bejewelled pieces were vintage and had a slight Carmen Miranda vibe—though any ladylike pretensions were washed away with Miley’s playful (and persistent) tongue wagging. Of course, her red carpet outfit has nothing on what was worn during the actual show. Fun fur forever!

Last night’s Teen Choice Awards saw our favourite stars and starlets collecting surfboards for their various contributions to film, television and music. Show highlights included Harry Styles’ 3-second twerk-out and a special appearance by Miley Cyrus’ engagement ring. Buzz-worthy moments were had in the fashion department as well, with leather, crop tops and cutout dresses making their fair share of appearances on the blue carpet outside L.A.’s Gibson Amphitheatre.

Darren Criss of Glee and Lucy Hale of Pretty Little Liars played co-hosts for the evening. Hale, who collected a surfboard for Choice Summer TV Star, looked perfectly pretty in a mint green silk crop top and floral-embroidered skirt by Houghton. She let the outfit do the talking with her minimal makeup and laidback waves. Hale’s TV co-star Shay Mitchell ditched her signature bold colour palette for a simple yet sexy black and white jumpsuit by Jenni Kayne. In the beauty department the actress paired her new honey-coloured ombré hair with deep smoky eyes.

Curly and wavy hairstyles are, without a doubt, one of our favourite red carpet looks. From perfectly coiffed Old Hollywood ringlets to messy beach waves, there are endless ways to wear your hair down—while still giving it some style. Curly hair is easier to master than an updo, looks much more dramatic than a ponytail and definitely has an appeal that straight hair just can’t match. Need further proof? We’ve gathered some of the best curly hair and wavy hair looks from recent red carpets all in one place. (If you haven’t already logged into your Pinterest account, now’s the time!)

It’s a big week for Selena Gomez—on Friday she released her first solo album and today she turns 21. Happy Birthday, indeed! In the grand tradition of twenty-first birthdays being a big big BIG deal, Selena recorded a music video to make her fans feel like they’re all there, celebrating with her. And oh, do we ever want to be there! Set to “Birthday”—which sounds like Spring Breakers and The Bling Ring come to life—Selena and her sexy crew host a dance party that rivals the best of them, complete with sparkly crowns, break dancers, mannequins and confetti poppers. (Extra credit goes to Selena’s ’90s-inspired plaid shirt and crop top. Way to be on-trend, girl!) Now that Selena officially has the same birthday as the Royal Baby, what better way to celebrate than with a look back at some of the best house party music videos out there. From Selena’s BFF Taylor Swift to ex-BF Justin Bieber, to Janet Jackson and, of course, the Beastie Boys, let’s count ’em down!

While the ESPY (Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly) awards may be a celebration for the superstars of the athletic world, it was A-list stars Selena Gomez and Olivia Wilde who stole our attention on the red carpet. Both wore red—a nod to this season’s primary colours trend, perhaps?—but it’s up to you to decide who deserves the title of best dressed.

It’s hard to imagine that Selena Gomez was eating KFC only hours before hitting the event. Though she may have a petite frame, the singer showed off her long legs in a red dress by Dolce & Gabbana from the Fall 2013 collection. (While the runway version hit at the knee, Gomez was wise to wear an altered mini-dress version.) Complete with three quarter sleeves, lace and jewelled embellishments, Gomez certainly stood out on the red carpet. Accessories were kept simple: she paired her outfit with black pointed-toe heels by Casadei and accessorized with jewellery by Neil Lane. Gomez’s hair was left down in soft curls—her signature style, really—and she finished off her beauty look with rosy cheeks and red nails to match her sultry red pout.

Dip into summer with a brightly- coloured pencil skirt, or a bold-printed sandal. From the shades to the shoes, the tropical trend is all about botanical prints and eye-popping neons. We’re taking cues from Selena Gomez, who recently stunned in a seriously colourful Hawaiian print Dolce & Gabbana top at the SXSW premiere of Spring Breakers, and Solange Knowles, who took the take to the stage in botanical printed Pencey head-to-toe suit.

Last night, some of our favourite young starlets and celebrities hit the red carpet for the MTV Movie Awards where they handed out and were awarded 2013’s batch of golden popcorn statues for their important work as “best villain” and “best kiss.”

As with most red carpets that are skewed towards teens, there were some major misses by so many “stars” we have never actually heard of, but we will skip those in favour of those who hit it out of the park. MTV’s House of Style host Karlie Kloss looked like a smokeshow in a two-piece Cushnie and Ochs ensemble. The white-hot bodycon ensemble was finished off with a pair of Gucci heels. To boot, her new-to-2013 cropped bob was looking superb with an accentuated part. Zoe Saldana also showed off some skin in a Givenchy Fall 2013 (hell yes to friends in high places) look that matched florals with sheer polka dots and a thigh-high slit.

Chloe Grace Moretz was a denim dream in a patchwork Louis Vuitton dress and studded T-strap heels. She kept her beauty on the simple and age-appropriate side with a messy waterfall of curls and fresh faced skin. On the complete flip side, simple was not the name of the game for Selena Gomez who wore an embellished Julien Macdonald mini dress with a bouffant that transitioned into a side-braid.

Known for her role as the popular blonde in Pretty Little Liars, Ashley Benson debuted newly-dyed brown hair this weekend at the SXSW premiere of Spring Breakers in Austin, Texas. It’s not easy to transition from blonde to brunette, but the colour looks natural on Benson (so, maybe it is?) especially when compared side-by-side with her Spring Breakers co-star, Selena Gomez. Gomez always wears her long, raven-to-chestnut ombre coloured hair well, and opted for loose waves with a side-part at the Spring Breakers party.

Ashley Benson, on the other hand, may still be getting used to her new colour, as she kept her hair up, styled in a messy bun. However the real glamour to her look came courtesy of the cobalt-blue eye makeup, which included heavy undereye liner that diffused into a smoky look across her lids. (Blue eyeshadow is on trend this spring, after all!) Selena Gomez was also wearing a smoky eye—though hers was a deeper shade of navy that almost looked black. Just like Benson, Gomez had a heavily lined undereye, but pulled it into more of a cat-eye shape on her upper eyelid. And were the starlets sharing a lip colour? Ashey Benson and Selena Gomez both wore a similar shade of peachy-pink lipstick.
