Paper Doll: Dress Lauren Alaina Suddeth contest

Rossville's Lauren Alaina Suddeth, who finished second on Season 10 of "American Idol," has a personal style that's a work in progress.

During her three-month run on the show, the 16-year-old was described as everything from a "hot mess" to a "cowgirl Barbie."
