The fan-voted awards show, hosted by Nate Burleson and Charli D’Amelio, saw performances from Bebe Rexha, Young Dylan, and Lil Baby and appearances from A-list celebrities clad in colorful, quirky outfits.
Let’s have a closer look at some of the most outstanding ensembles at this year’s Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards.
1. Charli D’Amelio Wows in a Bold Black and Pink Bach Mai Dress
Charli D’Amelio had five outfit changes while co-hosting the ceremony with American football commentator Nate Burleson.
For her first outfit of the evening, the 18-year-old TikTok star showed up on the red carpet in a black and pink dress by Vietnamese-American designer Bach Mai.
The Spring 2023 creation highlighted Charli’s dancer figure with its structured corset bodice that flows into a thigh-skimming bell-shaped mini skirt with a drop waist and a ruffled hem.

Spanish stylist Marta Del Rio decided to style D’Amelio’s bold look with just a pair of Lele Sadoughi corkscrew hoop earrings with pearl orbs, leaving her neck bare to allow the sleeveless dress to take center stage.
Charli D’Amelio showcased her toes in towering black open-toe sandals called the “Kaila” by Schutz. They have thick stacked platforms, ankle straps, and block heels about 5 inches high. You can buy similar shoes from the same brand at Zappos.

Sporting a fake tan, Charli flaunted her natural freckles and highlighted her features with mascara, brushed-up eyebrows, pink blush, and pink lipstick created by Olivia Madorma.
She also wore matching light pink nails and rocked her long, dark tresses in curls by Laura Polko.

2. Heidi Klum Turns Heads in a Romantic Moschino Heart-Themed Outfit
Heidi Klum’s red carpet fashion choices are anything but boring. The 49-year-old model opted for her signature quirky but romantic style in a two-piece black and red ensemble from Moschino’s Spring 2023 collection.

3. Bebe Rexha Revives Y2K Glam in a Crystal-Embellished Denim Jumpsuit
When it comes to her sense of style, Bebe Rexha never ceases to surprise. And for her most recent red carpet appearance, the 33-year-old singer brought back one of the hottest trends from the noughties.
Tapping into Y2K fashion, the Meant to Be singer sported a denim jumpsuit that hugged every inch of her hourglass curves. It featured cuffed short sleeves, a collar, multiple pockets with topstitching, and bell bottoms that were big in the early 2000s.
Bebe Rexha teased a hint of cleavage as she had the plunging bodice partially unzipped to give it a sexier look.

Giving the look some sparkling finish were the blue crystals scattered all over and her heart-shaped silver drop earrings and diamond rings. She completed her ensemble with glittering gold open-toe sandals.
The three-time Grammy nominee kept the Y2K vibe of her look by parting her blonde hair in the middle and styling it in fanned-out layers.
She then enhanced her eyes with false lashes and donned heavy pink eye makeup and blush to match.

Bebe Rexha later hit the stage to perform her smash song, I’m Good (Blue). She traded her blue denim jumpsuit for a metallic silver one heavily embellished with silver crystals.
4. Kelly Rowland Channels Y2K Chic with Flared Jeans and a White Bralette
She may be 42, but Kelly Rowland is still rocking the same chiseled abs from her Destiny’s Child days.
Like Bebe Rexha, the Work hitmaker relived the early 2000s fashion by wearing high-waisted flared jeans with distressed knees. She teamed her Y2K bottoms with a plunging white peekaboo bralette top layered underneath a burnt-orange leather blazer.

The Grammy-winning singer added glitzy finishing touches to her ensemble with a selection of gleaming gold accessories. She carried a gold Jeffrey Levinson clutch and wore a chunky gold chain necklace, long drop earrings, and chunky bangles.
When it came to her glam, Rowland wore bronzed makeup with fluttery eyelashes and nude lipstick. She then styled her short tresses in a wavy bob, framing her face.

5. Miranda Cosgrove Stuns in a Bright Yellow Alex Perry Mini Dress
Last year’s Nickelodeon KCA host Miranda Cosgrove kept things simple this year in a bright yellow mini dress by Australian fashion designer Alex Perry.
Making a leggy appearance, the 29-year-old actress wore a thigh-skimming dress with a strapless corset bodice and a draped skirt that skimmed her thighs.
Jessica Paster, a veteran stylist who has dressed the likes of Emily Blunt, Aubrey Plaza, and Miranda Kerr, kept Cosgrove’s look classy with gold hoop earrings and a few gold rings.

Boosting her 5’6” height further was a pair of metallic gold Dolce & Gabbana peep-toe pumps with platforms, ankle straps, and roughly 4-inch heels.
Hairstylist Clariss Rubenstein straightened Miranda’s shiny brunette hair and let it cascade over her shoulders. Makeup artist Elie Maalouf gave her a radiant look with winged eyeliner, pink blush, and lipstick.
The iCarly star failed to secure this year’s Favorite Female TV Star (Family) award, which she previously bagged during last year’s KCA.
