Hometown favorite Brittany Guidry rocked the evening gown competition this past Sunday night at the Miss USA 2014 Pageant. Guidry, also known as Miss. Louisiana, wore a Sherri Hill evening gown with class. This gown had a beautiful empire waist with amazing rhinestones and beading at the neckline. Guidry looked stunning in this royal blue dress as she competed for the title of Miss USA 2014. Throughout the entire night, she was a favorite of her hometown audience of thousands as well as the judges as they continued to move her up in the ranks. Millions tuned into NBC to watch live the unveiling of this year's Miss USA. Brittany made a huge accomplishment by making her mark at this nationwide competition while making third runner-up.

CMT Awards 2014

Kristen Bell hosted one of country music's biggest events this past week! The 2014 CMT Music Awards was filled with incredible performances, honoring some of the biggest stars in Nashville. This celebration brought millions of television viewers to watch this event last Wednesday night. Jennifer Nettles wore a Halston Heritage connecting pant and detailed top for the red carpet. Our favorite performance of the night was indeed her performance with John Legend accompanied by Hunter Hayes singing popular song "All of Me," with a country twist.

Beth Behrs wore an Erin by Erin Fetherston gown. This dress is by far Top Buttons' favorite from the event because of it's young and fun vibe. We think she looks awesome in this sheer black and white crochet-like dress.

Kacey Musgraves wore a Miu Miu & Swarovski gown with a beautifully embroidered gold and silver lining at the top. Interesting enough, this dress had no need for a necklace or glamorous jewelry, giving it a very clean look.

Nicole Kidman arrived at the awards with her husband Keith Urban, in a Giambattista Valli dress and Elie Saab heels. We love the support she gave her Keith at the event as a presenter and nominee for four different awards that night.

Kimberly Perry from The Band Perry wore a white cocktail dress with a touch of gold in her clutch. That night, The Band Perry won Group Video of the Year with their hit music video, "Done."

Stylish Celebrities at the CFDA Awards

This past week in New York, the CFDA Awards took place recognizing lifetime achievements from fashion to journalism as well as other related arts. Stars wore some of the best of the best for this annual awards ceremony. Our vote for "best dressed" goes to Blake Lively [see featured image] looking glamorous in a green confetti-like Michael Kohrs dress with a scalloped trimming. The Gossip Girl star topped off the dress with diamond hoop earrings and a headband, giving her a cute 60s look.

Olivia Wilde chose to wear a beautiful black fringe LA Decades dress. This dress is unlike we have ever seen before at an event as this and we love it!

This event was both a luncheon and fashion show benefiting the Children's Institute.  Alongside Witherspoon, the Champion of Children award was presented to Princess Charlene of Monaco with her work in charities overseas. Witherspoon was also found attending the 2014 Film Independent Spirit Awards earlier this year in Santa Monica wearing a Giambattista Valli Couture top and skirt. Her ensemble is easily depicted as a dress until you look closer to find out it is two separate pieces! We love the different textures found in the top, and how the colors emphasize her blue eyes.

Favorite Looks From The 2014 Annual Lucille Lortel Awards

This past week marked the 29th Annual Lucille Lortel Awards in New York City honoring those who participate in Off-Broadway theater.

The night highlighted many Off-Broadway actors, actresses, design artists, choreographers and producers.

One of the presenters for the event included singer Carly Rae Jepsen. Carly is known for her hit single 'Call me Maybe' that went viral.

Along with many other wonderfully dressed celebrities, these three ladies went above and beyond demonstrating beautiful red carpet style!

Carrie Underwood, being one of the presenters at the awards show looked absolutely stunning. Wearing an Oscar de la Renta beaded fringe gown surpassed our expectations on the red carpet.

On March 29th, 2014 the 27th Annual Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards premiered on live television where celebrities walked down the orange carpet in style. At this fun and semi-fancy event in Los Angeles, crop tops and cutout attire was popular this year.  But we were able to find some "Top Buttons approved"  attire for both CLASS and STYLE among the many celebs who appeared.

Candice Cameron-Bure on Dancing with the Stars

Candice Cameron-Bure is competing in season 18 of Dancing with the Stars this year partnering with two- time mirror ball-winning champ, Park Dallas. The reality competition premiered just last month and we think Candice has done a fantastic job dancing her heart out each week. Her routines are showcased in front of millions every Monday evening on ABC. The best thing about Candice competing on Dancing with the Stars is the fact that she wants to remain wearing modest costumes throughout her performances.

Candice certainly knows how to put together a fabulous outfit by adding a touch of color in her choice of shoes. By adding a colored shoe, it clearly brightens any simple outfit.

Outside of being a full time mom, Candice never ceases to amaze us when it comes to her faith. She is a great example of what it means to live from the insight out, and that positive outlook is carried on to the show.

"The two most important things in my life are my faith and my family and I know that is what is going to get me through this competition," said Bure in an interview.

Since her role in the hit television show Full House, Candice has married, had three beautiful children and has written two books. She continues to be a great role model for young adults as she dances her way to the top in Dancing with the Stars. We will be supporting her throughout the entire competition! Go Candice!

AnnaSophia Robb's Event Ensembles: New York Fashion Week

The most recent Mercedes- Benz fashion week that happened in New York last month brought new spring styles and trends where it was streamed live via internet. The fashion show brought many of today's most highly recognized designers in the fashion industry. Actress, AnnaSophia Robb who is known for starring in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the inspirational film Soul Surfer, was spotted looking adorable at the show. She wore a maroon knee-length dress with high heels to accompany her look. We think this dress was perfect for this high end fashion event.

We also found her wearing a more casual ensemble at the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey's Legends show. The black and white stripped top with blue and black cheetah- print pants does not sound like a match, but Robb pulled it off perfectly! This was a cute yet professional look that could be worn to any fun event. To top it off, her boots pulled the outfit together. AnnaSophia Robb surely knows how to dress cute, fun, proffessional and glamorous no matter what the occasion may be. We want more more more!  Less crop tops and more of this look!  Wouldn't u agree this looks amazing on her?

The 2014 Oscars Best Dressed

The night of the 2014 Oscars this past Sunday night had celebrities walking down the red carpet in style as paparazzi took thousands of photos. With a rainy start to the eventing, celebrities arrived with umbrellas before walking the red carpet. The 86th Annual Awards ceremony was viewed by millions and we were anxious to see what the celebrities chose to wear for this important event. Celebrities dressed in top notch attire to potentially receive an award. We picked out gorgeous dresses we thought stood out at the awards ceremony. Cate Blanchett won the Best Actress Award with her role in Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine while wearing an elaborate Armani Prive gown. The dress was worn perfectly by Cate with her luminous skin tone and the light gold color of the dress.

Jennifer Lawrence defines best-dressed at the awards in this beautifully fitting strapless red dress made by Dior Haute Couture. After tripping just moments after exiting her limo, she quickly gets back on her feet looking adorable as usual. She exudes confidence and beauty in her choice of the floor length gown even after falling on the ground.

Another dress that we could not help but love was worn by Penelope Cruz. This faint pink Giambattista Valli gown flowed with her as she walked the red carpet with a beautiful choice of diamond accessories. We can safely say that these ladies looked amazing for this event.

Morgan Frazier, Brave Overcomer of Bullying

Top Buttons had to admire Morgan Frazier who is an up and coming country music artist that has a passion to stop bullying in schools around the country. We find the amount of tragedy resulting from bullying is unbelievable today. She released her latest single "Hey Bully" that has captured the hearts of many and that could potentially save lives in the process. Morgan has brought a new twist to country music by using her past experiences of being made fun of to make a difference with her music. The extent of bullying she underwent caused her to leave her elementary school and become home schooled. Alongside her tremendous talent, her style is casual and relevant as she rocks the all-American girl look wearing blue jeans and fashionable tank tops. She is not afraid of being herself and her songs signify strength and perseverance dealing with bullying that once daunted her dreams.  She has such a pure, effortless tone to her voice that keeps you listening and she always seems to perform in her brown leather cowgirl boots! She has made appearances in schools and numerous radio stations across the country telling her story to encourage others in following their dreams.

Morgan Frazier has partnered up with the anti-bullying campaign Stand for the Silent, to impact children and adults to end bullying altogether. Her message of strength and hope has encouraged us to spread her story and impact others around us.

Stand For The Silent is an organization that began by founders Kirk and Laura Smalley after suffering a tragedy with their son after continually being bullied. This was served as a platform to bring awareness of how serious the issue is.

"I've already been touched by the power of this song from messages I've received from kids who have experienced bullying firsthand," Frazier says. "I look forward to working with Stand for the Silent to bring an end to this issue."

We anticipate great things to come out of this organization as Morgan continues to use her talent and experiences to stop bullying and encourage students to be who they were created to be, themselves.

Kate Hansen Warms Up for an Olympic Luge Race Dancing to Beyonce

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oi8RO0R0_ho

American Olympian Kate Hansen not only placed 10th in the luge competition at Sochi this past Tuesday, but she also has a passion to dance like no one's watching. This 21 year old athlete has become known for her pre race warm-up as she dances to none other than Beyonce! She explained that past injuries have made a typical warm-up difficult for her, and she has gained some serious attention for this comical and cute warm-up routine.  We say, who needs a reason to dance?!

Miss Hansen has competed in numerous competitions over the years winning Silver, Bronze and Gold in Championship events. Even though she did not receive a metal this year at the Olympics, she was a great sport. Hansen witnessed history Tuesday when her teammate, Erin Hamlin, won the first ever individual luge Olympic medal for the U.S. with a bronze-medal finish.

In an interview Hansen said, “The Olympic experience has been more than words,” “Just to be on the same platform as athletes I’ve looked up to for years, my entire life ... it’s an unbelievable feeling.”

She wins the Most Fun Competitor Award so far for the Sochi Olympics voted on by the Top Buttons team.  We might be biased.  She is after all, an American, a female, a young women who is clearly self-confident, passionate about what she believes in, tough as nails, and even supports her competitors.  So after watching this video in slow-mo a few times, we have learned some new dance moves.

And then we found this video on her personal website.  This girl makes you smile and she is FEARLESS…

Singer-songwriter Brooke Fraser is well know for being involved in leading worship with Hillsong United around the world. Her involvement in the Hillsong church has been ongoing for the past 10 years. Though she's originally from New Zealand, Fraser has an awesome European style! We love the dress she wore when she walked the red carpet at the New Zealand Music Awards where she was being awarded the Edge Best Pop Album. Her recent hit single Something in the Water also won her the highest selling single. Along with her great style, Brooke Fraser has such great talent to share with the world.

We think her style really compliments her gracefulness and confidence on stage singing.

Later this year, Brooke will be releasing a new album as well as begin a world-wide tour.

'Blown Away' by Carrie Underwood's Style

After the hit live performance of Carrie Underwood in The Sound of Music, she will once again appear in another popular show "Peter Pan Live" on NBC premiering later this year. This Grammy and award winning celebrity does not only have a spectacular voice, but she has also been on the front page of numerous magazines across the country. Just this last week she has partnered with the makeup brand Almay because she believes in celebrating our natural beauty.

Her style is flawless and we think she has excelled in every opportunity she has been given. She restrains from showing too much skin at her concerts around the world and she still pulls off her mixed rock country look. She likes to wear casual attire for many of her performances while she manages to look absolutely gorgeous at award ceremonies. Her confidence overrides the outfits she decides to wear on stage by staying modest in front of her millions of fans. In the midst of stardom she continues to exemplify great style that we adore. As she continues to make her mark on the iTunes top charts, we love how she continues to be herself as she starts a family with her husband Mike Fisher.

The Royal Blue Wardrobe of Kate Middleton

Kate Middleton celebrated her 32nd birthday this month and TopButtons had to point out how amazing she looks in blue. We noticed that she often wears this color and we think it looks fantastic against her skin complexion. We not only love her choice of color, but from short dresses to long dresses, she is able to pull off anything whether she is walking down the red carpet or running errands. We all remember the gorgeous Alexander McQueen wedding gown she wore that inspired other brides around the world. Ever since, her fashion has continually impressed us.

We wanted to point out her incredible style because seems to take consider her influence and leadership role as she gets dressed in the morning. There can be some pressure that comes along with her title as the Duchess of Cambridge or Princess of the United Kingdom. The way she presents herself to the world is through modesty and confidence as she attends numerous events in front of millions.

We love the way she poises herself in front of paparazzi at different events as if they are not even there. She decided to spend her birthday this year quietly with her family instead of wandering out into the public eye. We admire her outlook on family and her classy chic wardrobe.

NAACP Nominee Tamera Mowry-Housley's Style

Just recently the NAACP nominees were announced and will be awarding those with outstanding achievements and performances of people of color in the arts. This February, the 45th annual awards ceremony will be held in Los Angeles including nominees such as Nick Cannon, Kerry Washington and many more. In past years, out of all of the celebrities nominated for the event, Tamera Mowry-Hously stood out to us.

In the 43rd NAACP Awards ceremony, Tamera and her bubbly personality loved by so many, walked down the red carpet in a sleeveless silver gown made by Nicole Miller. Tamera's husband, Adam Housley escorted her down the red carpet in style. We are excited to see what she will wear this year at the awards ceremony. Becoming a new mother, her style is young, vibrant and energetic whether she is at home or walking down the red carpet.

Tamera also made a more casual appearance at the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation wearing a striped maxi dress looking confident event after people disagreed with her interracial marriage with Adam Housley. She is all smiles at the event displaying confidence and strength after the controversy. We love the added blazer to add a touch of gray to cover her shoulders. She knows how to mix and match to make her outfit come together perfectly. Overall, we think they look absolutely great together and we are excited to see what is to come as they begin their beautiful family.
