Miranda Cosgrove is back!
On Saturday, the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards staple returned to the orange carpet to host the show for the first time, alongside NFL superstar Rob Gronkowski.
She was also on hand to present first lady Dr. Jill Biden, who addressed the resilience of the nation’s youngest generation, especially the children of military families, and encouraged them to keep growing, learning, and giving back to their communities.

The 28-year-old actress made a splash on the orange carpet in a matching orange mini dress from Greek designer Celia Kritharioti’s Spring/Summer 2019 collection.
Selected by stylist Jessica Paster, the sleeveless mini gives off a vintage vibe with its 1920s-inspired flapper style, decked out in orange feathers with orange and gold sequins.
It also features a halter-neck silhouette, an open back, and a thigh-skimming straight hem.

For her beauty look, makeup artist Elie Maalouf applied light pink eyeshadow, matching blush, and pale pink lipstick to Miranda’s face, while Ryan Richman coiffed her tresses in a chic updo with sleek face-framing tendrils.
She added more sparkles to the look with Sydney Evan jewelry, including a pair of gold hoop earrings, bangles, and rings with diamond accents.

Adding a vibrant and playful element to the look, he layered a bright red printed letterman jacket over his white tee.

That evening, Miranda took home her first-ever KCA Favorite Female TV Star award for her role in iCarly.
During the show’s original run, from 2007 to 2012, Miranda has been nominated five times for KCA’s Favorite TV Actress but failed to win any.
Last year, Miranda reprised her role as Carly Shay in the iCarly revival series based on the popular Nickelodeon 2007 TV series of the same name.
The revival show premiered on Paramount+ in June 2021 and was renewed for a second season, which premiered on April 8.
