Red Carpet Wrap-Up: 'American Idol' Finale

See what the stars wore to the 'American Idol' Finale.

Our New Idol

Jordin Sparks was named our Season 6 'American Idol' on May 23. The finale show drew out lots of celebrities, including contestants from the show, past and present. Jordin walked the red carpet in a beautiful black dress that accentuated her curvy figure and drew attention to her collarbone and neck with a pretty neckline.

No Room for Error

We're not sure 'AI' judge Paula Abdul could even breath in that dress, but she looked great. The dress was very fitted and her long locks were swept to the side. We really liked how the dress flared at the bottom and even had a little train at the end.

She's Back

We were sad when Melinda Doolittle got booted off this year, but she popped up for the finale in smashing style. We liked her simple, wrap dress in a pretty mauve color. And we REALLY liked the edgy black and pink print that was on the dress. This is a girl who knows how to be edgy and girly in one breath and we love it!

Wowza!

Jennifer Hudson may have been booted from 'Idol' a couple years ago, but she was back in grand style for the Finale. She looked excellent in her sequined, fitted dress and strappy sandals. Our favorite part of her whole outfit was her stunning glasses. They were transition shades that we saw her rocking INSIDE the Kodak Theatre, too, and they were HOT!

Loss for Words

What happened to sweet Diana DeGarmo? Not that she's not still sweet but she looks more vamp then girl-next-door in that dress. The cut-out back was a bit too racy for our taste and the dress was way too tight!

Golden Girl

Carrie Underwood looked really good in that gold dress. The fun, bubble skirt was very cute and the fit of the dress was perfect for her tiny frame. Our favorite part was definitely her strappy sandals, they were fabulous!

Accepting Defeat

We admired Blake Lewis calm and peaceful demeanor on the red carpet. It was almost like he KNEW he hadn't won and her was just about having fun. We loved his powder blue, tuxedo-style suit, and how he paired a simple graphic tee with it. It was in true Blake style, He may not have won the show, but he won our hearts. We Heart Blake!

Ferl's Flourish

She might be the girl who cried on 'American Idol,' but in this dress she was the girl who walked the red carpet in style in our book! Ashley Ferl looked absolutely adorable in her black dress with red and white polka dots all over it. The flirty skirt and simple, single strand pearls were great choices for her!

Blood Brothers

Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson were glued at the hip on the red carpet. We thought Simon looked ... well ... the same! We really didn't expect it any different. But after his weird choice of a band-style jacket on Tuesday's show, we expected Randy to go a bit more classic for the Finale show. We're still not sure what the lace details were on his jacket. But he's still the top DAWG to us.

Back for More

We knew he would be there, he made it to the Top 12 after all, but Sanjaya Malakar still surprised us. The surprise was how tame his style was on the red carpet. His hair looked GREAT, in soft curls framing his face. And we absolutely loved his shirt.
