Justin Bieber may have been without his most glowing accessory, girlfriend Selena Gomez, at his side for Sunday's Do Something Awards, hosted kwa Glee's Jane Lynch. But he still managed to shine (literally!) on the red carpet at the Hollywood Palladium, while looking a bit too cool for school.

Rocking his shorter cropped 'do, the pop sensation, 17, opted for another one of his maarufu black-on-black ensembles, a inayopendelewa of his for awards onyesha appearances -- think this year's Academy Awards and ESPYs. For Do Something, the Biebs wore his black button-down shati unbuttoned over another black T-shirt. The highlight, though, were his slouchy dhahabu pants that registered as quite the statement-maker. zaidi shine came in the form of patent sneakers.

Justin Bieber must have needed some sunglasses to shield his eyes from the glare of his outfit (and no doubt the countless red carpet flashbulbs), as he donned a pair of square shades that zaidi looked like they belonged on will.i.am during one of the Black Eyed Peas futuristic performances. Bieber is reportedly collaborating with will.i.am on an upcoming song, so he's apparently taking a few style tips from the rapper, too!

Still, although some elements of Justin Bieber's Do Something Awards look were questionable, it far outpaced his outfit at the hivi karibuni Teen Choice Awards, which he did attend with Selena Gomez. He obviously didn't receive any trend tips from her, though, as his floppy bow tie, overwrought vest and untucked baby pink shati screamed sloppy and overdone.
