2016 American Music Awards: Red Carpet Review

Under chilly, rainy Los Angeles skies, an oxymoron onto itself, the 44th Annual American Music Awards happened last night. Just like the slogan of the United States Postal Service “Come rain or shine we deliver” the AMAs happened and deliver they did, both on the red carpet and center stage!

Right out of the gate, we must acknowledge the  every-changing delightful style choices of one of then night’s co-hosts, supermodel Gigi Hadid. Youthful, boho, edgy, and classic, she covered all the bases with her 6 outfit changes for the evening. From the top down she nailed every single look making it impossible to pick a favorite!

Other looks that stunned on the carpet ranged from simple and classic, which added to their boldness, to risque and oddly voyeuristic.

It's not so much Keke Palmer's metallic Natalia Fedner two piece micro skirt with a playful pink fur, it was more due to the fact that her "performance" on the red carpet was a little too much and seemes contrived and cliche...not natural

Lose the kitschy  pink shades, and Keke Palmer’s metallic Natalia Fedner two piece micro mini, with a playful pink fox fur, was simply smoking

Micro shorts were on the menu for some of the ladies last night, including the “hostess with the mostess” Gigi Hadid herself.

Some that stood our for all the wrong reasons may be up for debate

Taraji P. Hensen in her basic white Celine shirtdress was perhaps the biggest shocker for us because it was just so blah. Relying on your bra to be your WOW is not a safe bet

Tinashe in her Steven Khalil gown looked like a butterfly half way through metamorphosis. Not our favorite look on such a small framed person.

Where’s the beef?

In a time where laughter is so needed in our society, it’s nice to be able to get some levity and see the less serious side of things. We kid because we care!
