A Night in Shining AMAr

Taylor Swift dazzles in gold Reem Acra

Last night's AMA's had its winners and losers, but the one common genre perhaps most evident on the carpet was metal, as in metallic. This is not only a genre of music, but the fashion theme of the whole evening. From Taylor Swift's sparkly gold Reem Acra gown that matched her AMA award for performer of the year to Jennifer Hudson's shiny mini, the stars were truly inspired to shine. So who shined the brightest and who was losing their luster?

J. Hud may have worn a shorter dress, but it didn't stop her shine

Shining Selena

J. Lo may have tried relentlessly to recapture the fashion title in her nude sparkly skin-suit and tight barely there numbers, but the look for her was nothing new. (In fact, it was a bit uncomfortable as a viewer to watch, from the over-the-top moves to hair extensions and ass-shakes, it seemed almost a desperate attempt by J.Lo to prove "Look at me, I've still got it." We know J. Lo, your ass didn't go anywhere, but up.) What was new was the sexy, demure look sported by a grown up Disney Starlet: Selena Gomez.

Arriving in a 1920s themed Rolls Royce with beau and fellow megastar Justin Bieber at her side (who sweetly carried her train), this 20 year old singer proved she is no longer a "Wizard" in training and officially a woman, and a stylish one at that.

Selena debuted a side swept wave with red lips and a satin pewter Armani plunging gown to match. She was every inch the star, but for others the same could not be said.


Falling Stars

While Selena nabbed our vote for best dressed hands down in her timeless, but not too sexy Armani number, stars like Christina Aguilera and Kelly Clarkson didn't get the memo.

Christina may have gained a few, but she didn't have to let us know in her white ill-fitted Herve Leger dress.


Kelly Clarkson, who we usually adore, broke away from her roots and tried to take on the one and only Jessica Rabbit with a red cocktail number adorned in Neil Lane Jewelry. However, it came off a bit too costumed and both women fell short.

We don't like to be negative, so let's end this one on a positive note: there's always the Grammy's ladies...right?
