Perhaps next year’s ceremony should see the awards change to rocket trophies.

The stars on the purple carpet at the 2013 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards took their fashion to another level on Saturday as they attended the annual event in Los Angeles, California.

Jessica Alba – who voices the character of Lena Thackleman in animated movie Escape From Planet Earth – looked out of this world in a silver frock.

The 31-year-old donned a printed piece by Mary Katrantzou, teaming it with Christian Louboutin shoes, a Stella McCartney purse and jewellery by Eddie Borgo.

The brunette pinned back one side of her hair, letting the blonde undertones show as she tossed her tresses in front of her shoulder.

Jessica – who presented on stage with comedian Kevin Hart - wasn’t the only star opting for a metallic look at the children’s ceremony.

Former High School Musical actress Ashley Tisdale wore a gorgeous piece by Rafael Cennamo which featured a sliced silhouette shape at the front.

The rest of the 27-year-old’s item was embellished with circular sequins and her bust area lined with mesh.

Ashley – who was at the bash to present a performance by pop star Ke$ha – teamed her piece with Jerome C. Rousseau shoes and a Carla Amorim ring.

Even 15-year-old Bella Thorne got in on the action at the 26th annual event, sporting a peplum metallic dress.

The Shake It Up lead character chose bold neon pink pumps, a neon green handbag with a gold chain that hung to her side and a bright chained necklace that met at the centre with a large bejewelled brooch.

Styled by Marissa Joye, her statement earrings matched her necklace as they peered out of her silky, long locks and famous fringe.

Experimenting with even more colour, baby blue pastel nails complemented the cool silver of Bella’s dress.

Winners at the show receive a hollow orange blimp figurine, a logo outline for much of the network's 1984–2009 era, which also functions as a kaleidoscope.

However it seems something like MTV’s moon man could be more apt for the 2013 crowd.

Many of the stars avoided wearing safe hues such as black.

Dancing With the Stars professional Karina Smirnoff wore a scoop back sequin dress with nude heels and Disney actress Zendaya Coleman – who is currently on competing on the show – opted for a multi-colour tie-dye skirt with blue jumper and glitzy collar.

The colour proved to be a popular with little singers Sophia Grace and Rosie wearing stripy blue and white frocks, and Ke$ha fashioning a Willy Wonka style suit.

But much like Stefani Scott, who wore a coral number, she had a problem with her skirt flying in the wind.

The 16-year-old A.N.T. Farm actress wore a Keepsake dress as her film Wreck-It Ralph won Favorite Animated Movie.

Disney star Ryan Newman didn’t fail to get noticed in a neon green frock ad neither did British X Factor 2011 winners Little Mix in their over-the-top ensembles.
