Female nominees for the 2014 Billboard Music Awards:

Lorde (Real name:Ella Yelich-O’Connor) first invaded the airwaves with her nostalgic “Royals” from her debut album “Pure Heroine). Since then, the 17-year old singing protege from New Zealand have been the apple of the eyes of critics including the 2014 Grammys, where she won “Song of the Year” and “Best Pop Solo Performance.”
In the list of nominees for the 2014 Billboard Music Awards, she is currently one of the top contenders with twelve nominations. This is Lorde’s Billboard debut at the music awards event.

At her 2014 Grammy performance with Juicy J, she channeled “witchcraft” in a black bustier with glowing red outlines and a purple cape.
Her Grammys fashion style: A sheer, white Valentino gown adorned with musical notes, which came from the new spring/summer 2014 Haute Couture collection.
Miley Cyrus (9 BBMA nominations)
Miley Cyrus shed her child star status from her portrayal as the pop star Hannah Montana, but her transformation was bombarded with controversy. Despite all of that, she has evolved music-wise and her songs have been some of the anthems for 2014.

Her 2014 Grammys fashion style: She also sparkled in a gold, chainmail-inspired Gucci Premiere dress.
Lady Gaga (3 BBMA nominations)
Lady Gaga had recently replaced her risque fashion with seemingly “toned-down” ensembles that make her fresh beauty stand out. But being a true-blue fashion chameleon herself, she continues to wear fashion-forward styles that complement her eccentric personality.
