Weekend Round-Up: Teen Choice Awards

What a busy weekend it’s been! Not only was it the Teen Choice Awards but Robbie Williams married Ayda Field and lots of bands took to the stage at The Big Chill.

First to the Teen Choice Awards. Some of our favourite outfits of the night came from the likes of Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester, who wore a lovely white lacey mini dress with matching shoes, Hilary Duff who wore a green body con dress and Glee’s Lea Michele in an amazing green and cream mini dress.

Host Katy Perry had a number of outfits changes on the night, ranging from Prom Queen to Goth.

We’re sorry girls but Robbie Williams tied the knot on Saturday to Ayda Field. The couple, who had been denying wedding rumours for months, got married in front of 75 guests in Beverly Hills. Congrats!

There were lots of goings on at The Big Chill this weekend. MIA had to cut her set short after 200 fans invaded the stage after the rapper invited fans to join her. We guess she didn’t expect so many people to take her up on her offer!

Lily Allen took to the stage in converse and a chequered shirt after revealing that boyfriend Sam didn’t want his pregnant girlfriend to perform in heels. We still think she looked great though!
