American Music Awards 2016: The 10 Best Dressed of the Night

by FASHION Staff November 20, 2016

Just as the first snowflakes are starting to fly at home, we settled in to catch the surprise downpour and music’s biggest stars at tonight’s American Music Awards live from the Microsoft Theatre in Hollywood. It’s all about celebrating the hottest hits and the earworms you just couldn’t shake from 2016. Hosted by supermodel Gigi Hadid and SNL alum Jay Pharoh, the megawatt duo are anticipated to deliver a killer show that will include high energy performances and a glittering red carpet.

Gigi, who is rumoured to have five fabulous outfit changes throughout the night, kicked off the party in a white, off-the-shoulder Roberto Cavalli gown that set the bar sky high for everyone who followed. Never shy to try tricky trends or daring outfits, the music world crushed the fashion tonight. Micro minis, jumpsuits, shorts and exposed bras, there was something for everyone. Red carpet regulars like Selena Gomez and Hailey Steinfeld stunned in bold colour while Ciara and Ariana Grande went for classic black and white. Nina Dobrev and Lady Gaga both opted for spectacular suits, one sleek and modern, the other jewel crusted.
