You guys know I love her; every time someone asked, this last week, who was our dream casting for Brooke Berlin, Ashley’s name came up. HOWEVER:
This just ain’t working. I am tempted to fix it by putting a jacket of some sort on her, but I’m worried that’s just going to make her look square — it would have to be a really slim jacket, because those pants have some major (unsuccessful) volume. How would you fix this? Would it even be better if she just unrolled the pants? HELP A GIRL OUT.

Get some slim-fitting black crops and add a colored blazer. But for the record, I still have a hard time with clothing that looks like lingerie.
Go up a size in the top, and down a size in the pants.
Somebody please let out the back lacing on that mother effing corset – and pull IN the laces on those billowing pantaloons. My armpits are aching in sympathy at the sight of that strapless straightjacket. Ow.
I know! I just looked at the closeup and am experiencing sympathy pains. Look, bootpit happens to even the smallest of us, so this is not a commentary on her figure, which is petite and lovely, but we women need to watch out for each other when it comes to that area. Her stylist clearly does not love her.
Her boyfriend is The Biebs’ stylist & I think he must be a bad sartorial influence on her!
Girlfriend needs to make an excuse (people would accept, “Look, I just noticed that my outfit is cracked out,”) go home, and start over.
I think burning those pants would be an appropriate solution.
Precisely. Pure, cleansing fire is the answer.
Agree … the only solution here is another pair of pants.
Pencil skirt intead of pants, and a simple but glittery necklace.
amen
It can be fixed by tossing it.
And by not wearing something similar to Gwen Stefani at the same event, who will inevitably nail it. Makes you look worse by comparison.
I think you guys let your love for her blind you by not making this an all-out fug. I say, start over, including the hair that looks like she got attacked by a pack of raccoons (I don’t even know if raccoons are even pack animals, but you get my drift).
I think the only real improvement here would be to transmogrify it into something else completely before she is smited by the gods of proportions.
Ditch the pants for some slim-lined capris. Those particular pants need someone tall, slim and hipless (see: Tilda Swinton)
It looks like she had her torso put on someone else’s hips. This is one step down Momsen Blvd. This look (including the hair) seems too mature for her. Maybe a skirt and a cute jacket?
She obviously had an unfortunate ending to her “Choose Your Own Fashion Adventure” episode. It’s all just awful.
I am not sure why people think it’s appropriate to wear lingerie items (the top here) or see thru things (our friend Demi Lovato who almost showed us her entire boob) to the TEEN Choice Awards! I saw about 100 inappropriate outfits last night and I watched for 15 minutes. I was also annoyed with the bare-ness of Taylor Swift’s dress. Am I just getting old??
This is how I feel about this otherwise, though: if this girl’s pants were more like cigarette pants, I think this would’ve worked better.
I know our motto around here is “look into pants”, but seriously, these are bad. I almost think she should have gaga’ed it and taken the pants of if her undies matched.

I love Ashley & she would be a great Brooke Berlin! She’s BEAUTIFUL… Her hair & makeup are a success and I like the pants & the shoes, but that bustier is sucking the air out of me and I’m not even the one wearing it! She needs to take that top off before it cuts her circulation! Just put a top on her that’s not fom the Toddlers & Tiaras Boutique & she’ll look great!
Anyway, I’m so happy ‘Pretty Little Liars” won so many Teen Choice Awards… I’m so proud of all of them!
Agree top needs to be slightly bigger and paired with a pencil skirt…..those trousers make her hips look three times bigger than they actually are…
Doesn’t Madonna wear this in the “Papa don’t preach” video?
Yes, but the Madonna version looked more like a bodysuit version of a strapless jumpsuit. It was very fitted. This is too fitted on top and not fitted enough on the bottom. Also, the Madonna version was (shocker) solid, not sheer lace.
Maybe she can’t afford a mirror? The breadth of beam at her hipline is the look that horrifies normal females worldwide. The too-small, full length Maidenform torture device just makes it worse.
If she’s GOT to wear those pants, they need to be ironed within an inch of their life so they don’t blossom out like that. There’s a tuck at the bottom of the legs too; iron that pleat down FLAT.
The pants can’t be saved. Burn them. The corset might work in a larger size. But not with those pants, because they’re beyond hope.
Just kill the pants. Kill them dead. Add something bright or at least something that fits!
Burn the pants. BURN THEM WITH FIRE. They do nothing for her lovely figure. And let the top out a touch. Replace pants with a mini, preferable in a jazzy color, maybe bright pink. It’s the Teen Choice Awards, after all, have a little fun! Swap out those zzzzzz shoes while you’re at it. Add a pretty necklace (strapless tops scream for one), and you’re good to go!
Ok, can someone tell me what’s bootpit?
These pants have an overlay that looks like a pair of satin chaps worn backwards.
Yah, I think the pant cuffs need to go
… But the bustier just fits so badly and makes her torso too small for either her shoulders or hips, no matter what she wears on her bottom- it’s going to look out of proportion. The teeny tiny black bra makes the illusion worse. I think she needs an opaque boned -so- it -stands -higher bustier in a bigger size.
In a Fringe episode, another timeline’s Madonna slices her veins the day before her agent/ l.sbian lover managed to sign her into her first big record deal. The Observers snatch an alternate pre-teen Marilyn Monroe, make her into a shape shifter to protect her against the time travel mollecular disintegration and take her to the eighties. The girl has no time to frame down or get the whole 80′s fashion thing. So, she falls through a time wormhole by mistake and lands in our time line’s Teen Choice Awards as an Ashley Benson’s impersonator .
