We're counting down the minutes until tonight's kick off to red carpet season -- the 2013 People's Choice Awards.

There's only a few more hours to go until the red carpet fashion show begins, and to pass the time, we're looking back at some of the most memorable looks from last year's show.

Though the two biggest red carpet extravaganzas of the year -- the Golden Globes and the Oscars -- tend to steal all the style thunder, the People's Choice Awards happens to be one of our favorite red carpet events to watch.

Not only is it a chance for stars to set the tone for the rest of the red carpet season, but there's also less pressure to hit a home run, so we see many stars get more adventurous with their looks. Translation: The fashion is often far more fun and exciting to watch.

 

Plus, the fashion tends to be a little more casual compared to the dramatic couture confections that pour out come Golden Globes and Oscars time, with fashionistas like Emma Stone, Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Lawrence and Selena Gomez donning everything from pants and tuxedo jacekts to mini dresses on the red carpet.

In other words, the red carpet fashion is far more translatable to real life, so there's always plenty of inspiration to steal for your next cocktail party or night-out.

Take a look back at the fashion from the 2012 People's Choice Awards.

Share your favorite looks from last year's show -- plus, which stars you're excited to see hit the red carpet this year.
