How’d this one slip through the net! The 40th American Music Awards were held this past weekend in L.A. and my it was good to see some decent red carpet action after so long….
Best dressed of the night is a joint award for me and went to Carly Rae Jepsen and Ginnifer Goodwin. Ms ‘Call Me Maybe’ look very glamorous and polished in a pale pink, embellished, Gomez Garcia gown. I loved the styling here and her hair-do. Ginnifer was a pleasant surprise presenter on the show. She looked 60’s stunning in an Oscar De La Renta tea dress, the whole look could be too pretty and prissy but Gin reigns the barbie pink with dark make up and her trademark crop hair.
Two country ladies who sparkled on the night were my girl Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood. Taylor missed out of the best dressed for me, simply because I’m getting a little deja vu with this Zuhair Murad mini – her on stage outfit on the other hand? A.mazing! Carrie also took on an embellished gown by Abed Mahfouz. I love this look, she’s stepped a little out of her comfort zone yet still stuck to her own personal style.
Not everyone went for the gemstones. Ginnifer’s ‘Once…’ co-star Jennifer Morrison went for an elegant black Abed Mahfouz gown. Pink made her comeback in a sleek metallic Catherine Deane gown, she looked stunning here and I love the laser cut out details around the top.
Two ladies unafraid of making some serious style statements were Nicki Minaj and Christina Aguilera. Nicki was loud and proud in a bright Monique Lhullier gown and shockingly I don’t hate it. Her styling’s on point and she actually looks pretty swish when she doesn’t try so hard to make a statement. Christina wore a purple hued Pamella Roland gown, this is probably the best she’s looked in a while but I’m still not a fan of the tangoed skin and wig-like hair. Though this is much improved.
Not everyone had such a good night. Hot mess Ke$ha look fairly polished in her pale pink mini, even her hair and make up looked on point. Shame about the shoes. Too clunky and too heavy for such a pretty dress. Kelly Rowland also failed to impressed me here in her Naeem Khan mini and metallic sandals…yawn.
Other notable mentions in a sea of golden girls were Hayden Panetierre in Georgio Armani, Elisha Cuthbert in Editions by Georges Chakra and Heidi Klum in an Alexandre Vauthier Couture mini.
And finally two girls who strayed from the pretty minis and embellished gowns to give us something a little different. Gwen Stefani went for menswear in a a very chic Balmain jacket and leather look leggings. Whereas Kerry Washington went for a bright yellow Stella McCartney look with matching citrus accessories.
