The YBF crowd glammed it up, with some even throwing it back to the 90's, for Sunday night's 2013 American Music Awards. Check out the fabulous looks that hit the carpet before the big show inside....
With a bob that's giving us early 90's bob tease, and a dress that feels like we've seen her wear a million (gorgeous) times before, Ciara strolled on the red carpet at the Nokia Theater L.A. Live.
And her super sexy perforated and sheer J.Mendel dress fit her like a glove.
Rihanna hit the press room with her doobie and this hot Jean Paul Gaultier haute couture Spring 2013 two piece gown that pretty much shut everything else down:
Effortlessly gorge.
Jennifer Hudson, who was in attendance to introduce Christina Aguilera's performance, gave us pops of color on tonight's red carpet. From the bold royal blue eye shadow to the strikingly orange Dior dress, the Black Nativity flaunted her fresh new bob and sleek bod.
When Guiliana Rancic asked the actress/singer about her new look, Jenny replied:
"I love that it's being so accepted. It's funky and fresh and so liberating. So much easier than a full head of hair."
Yep, we're loving it Jenny!
The ladies of Danity Kane hit the carpet looking chic. Loving Dawn's white Walter Mendez Collection dress with the high slit.
One of our fave looks of the night was from Naya Rivera:
This demure yet ridiculously sexy Michael Kors black long sleeved major cut-out dress with a train is becoming a staple look. And the bride-to-be chopped it up about her upcoming wedding plans with rapper Big Sean:
"I have been looking at wedding dresses, I've been planning the wedding…I'm really excited for it," she went on. "It's like a really exciting time in our lives. I'm looking forward to it."
When asked if being a bride-to-be feels any different, Rivera couldn't stop smiling, saying, "it's not different, but it is different. It just makes me feel so special. Every morning I wake up and he's there and I'm like, he's a dream come true."
Akon had a look we totally hated...he looked like a sweaty GLAD tall kitchen garbage bag that someone wrote on.
Back to what we loved:
Nicole Richie stunned in a white cut-out Emilio Pucci dress that reminds us of those first days of major cutout dresses a la Toni Braxton. Hot.
Nelly hit the carpet before performing with country stars Florida Georgia Line. His girlfriend Tae Heckard was there as well as his date, but y'all already know he didn't snap red carpet pics with her.
Zoe Saldana popped up on the carpet in Roland Mouret mixed media dress...a departure from the design house's normal looks. When asked if it was difficult playing a real life person for her upcoming biopic Nina Simone, Zoe revealed on the red carpet to E!:
"It was and I don't know if I'll do it again. But I feel like her story's needed to be told for a very long time."
Interesting...
R.Kelly hit the carpet in this look before hitting the stage with Lady GaGa.
Tyga rocked the carpet in a gold Saint Laurent dinner jacket. No baby mama Blac Chyna on the carpet?
MC Lyte showed off those gams she still has.
Rocsi did her red carpet duties in this red long sleeved sparkling dress
from Alon Livne, Christian Louboutin heel and Alex Mika ear cuffs.
Zendaya Coleman, from "DWTS" and Disney Channel, brought her 17-year-old chic-ness to the carpet.
Jordin Sparks went on a beading rampage in her black & gold Grecian inspired dress:
Very pretty as always.
Lil Mama is at the awards likely to perform with TLC. And she matched the green in her dress to her wiggery. Hmm.....
2 Chainz showed up looking real...colorful.
And Kendrick Lamar hit the carpet for the big night of music. He brought his new TDE artist along (not pictured) as well.
