How Kira Kosarin — And Her Outfit! — Won Big At The Kids' Choice Awards
Getty Images1/10Zendaya’s jewel-encrusted platforms, watching Fifth Harmony get slimed, watching Fifth Harmony scream and run away after getting slimed — there was a lot to take in at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards on Saturday. One thing you didn’t see, though? All the special behind-the-scenes moments that come from attending such an exciting event IRL, be it creating just the right look (yes, even the ones that wind up covered in goo!) to receiving your own blimp.
To give you an insider's glimpse of #orangecarpetlife (if it’s not a hashtag already, it should be!) we followed The Thundermans star Kira Kosarin from the moment she began getting ready to her big win (congrats, Kira!). Read for her full KCA diary!
2/10“I can’t believe this is already my fourth year at the KCA! Check out this side-by-side of my pre-party outfit from 2013 vs 2016 — anyone else sensing a theme? It's so cool to see how my personal style has grown up with me.”
3/10“I originally planned to wear something brightly colored with a lot of pattern for the orange carpet, but this sequined white Parker dress changed my mind instantly. We added tons of colorful accessories to make the look really fun: hot pink Aldo shoes, BCBGeneration beaded clutch, Charles Albert and Henri Bendel jewels.”
4/10“My favorite accessory? The multicolored, beaded clutch — I loved how it popped against my white dress dress. It’s pretty roomy, but the only two things inside are my phone and spare lipstick.”

I was also a little nervous — I’ve never had short hair! I'm so happy with how the finished look out, though, I’m considering a real chin length cut.”
7/10“Finding the perfect dress for an awards show is only half the battle; you also need the right beauty look to complement it. This time around, that meant accenting soft and glowy makeup with bright pink lips and loads of lashes. I usually play up my eyes instead of lips, so going with a bold, graphic lip was a fun way to switch things up. I think it worked especially well with the all-white outfit.

I've dreamed of winning a blimp since I was a little kid, and I couldn't be prouder to share it with my Thundermans family. Thank you to everyone who's ever watched the show. This is all because of you!”
