The red carpet I spent weeks anticipating finally happened on Sunday evening in Los Angeles.
And I think it’s pretty safe to say that the Nokia Theater L.A. Live was full of plenty style surprises from the American Music Awards guest list.
With that said, here are 10 must-mention fashion observations I can’t help but share.
Plus, keep reading for loads of pics.
- If you don’t like the lacy look, get used to it. If this red carpet is anything to go by, it’ll be around for a while.
- The same goes for mesh…It was everywhere!
- Oh…and feathers, too!
- Rihanna’s toned down hair? From scorching scarlet to a milder type of cranberry? Love!
- Nicki Minaj’s look must have been a nod to her native Trinidad’s Carnival. Wild! But I’m seriously wondering how she managed to sit in it.
- Willow Smith looked like one cute present wrapped in a yellow bow. With this type of style ID at nine years old, I’m curious to see what she’ll be doing at 16.
- Katy Perry in Badgley Mischka was so understated and un-Katy but it doesn’t matter ’cause I loved it! And it was pink!
- Kelly Osbourne’s little black dress showing off her recently acquired wow-worthy hourglass figure definitely makes me want to eat whatever she’s eating. Amazing!
- P!nk, having recently announced that she’s pregnant, is one hot mama I’ll be watching in the style department.
- And speaking of moms, Jada Pinkett-Smith was gobsmackingly glam in gold. Who’d believe she turns 40 next year?!

It is always fun to see what other singers wear and how much effort they go into to end up looking like someone else at awards show. Sometimes they look so out of place or uncomfortable that I don’t even recognize them…Can you hear me Katy Perry?
When this Greek girl walks the red carpet or steps on stage to accept her AMA award I’m going be comfortable and chic, but you’re still going to recognize me…that’s just how I roll.
Congrats on your blog getting Freshly Pressed!

I would never wear any of these dresses these gals were wearing. Surprisingly, Katy Perry looked pretty sweet, and I almost didn’t recognize Taylor Swift with her hair straightened! Miley Cyrus looked pretty awful … I love the comments that say she looks like she’s tangled up in toilet paper! And the last picture of Willow Smith–!!! What on earth is she wearing?! Haha, great pics, even if the outfits aren’t so hot…. Congrats on getting Freshly Pressed!

Thanks for the photos! now I actually know what these women look like as I can’t keep up anymore like I did when I was on the radio all the time. I’d heard some of the names, but didn’t have faces/figures to connect to them. If I had to choose a favorite it’d be Fergie.

Have to admit though I hated that dress that Nicki Minaj wore -terrible! LOL it did look like a miniature Carnival costume though. As a fellow Trini I think she needs to get a real Carnival man to do her outfits.

I love clothes, I love fashion, but I am not very avant garde.. and I think every one looked so fugly their clothes should’ve been burned, lmao ^^;
Exceptions (well, not really, but they looked ok) being :
Jessica Alba, although it was kinda boring.
Katy Perry, although the pompom flowers were a bit odd looking.
Kelly Osbourne.
Juilianne Hough, although she totally thought she was in Moulin Rouge or something.
Miley Cyrus, even though she was wearing a train of toilet paper.
Taylor Swift.
Keri Hilson, but… hello, random material, what are you doing there?
Pink… boring, and the hair makes her look old.

The ones who looked the best were Jessica Alba, Kelly Osborne and Pink… who also just happened to be the ones with the most simple, elegant looks. Their figures looked incredible.
I loved the yellow sleeve Willow Smith had on, but the gray suit underneath was too ill-fitting! Her mom needs to teach her about camel toe. Other than that, I’m a huge fan.
Sounds like I’m the only one who didn’t like Rihanna’s look. Beautiful girl, beautiful dress, beautiful hair… but it really bothers me that the hair matched the dress! It’s like one giant, fabulous cranberry. No good.
