BEST RIRI LOOK as chosen by her stylist Mel Ottenberg: "My favorite look is the Adam Selman black bustier and skirt from the Victoria's Secret fashion show. It was a strong moment that we had a lot of fun creating, and Rihanna's performance was great!"

CUTEST BOY as chosen by Luis Venegas: "This year, I can't decide between actor Logan Lerman or singer Niall Horan from One Direction"
BEST PARTY as chosen by Derek Blasberg: "In all humility, my 30th birthday in St. Louis was my most memorable party of 2012. It was surreal to see my childhood world of friends and family interact with the hooligans I call friends in New York now. Everyone got along wonderfully, danced to country music, went on hayride sing-a-longs, and had a real taste of Missouri life. I'll never forget it."
