Pink
American Music Awards, Arrivals, Los Angeles, California, USA - 20 Nov 2022
In my memory she's not this playful, at least not recently, so I love it. She also opened the show on roller skates?!? She is not afraid to break her neck on live TV, and I love it and fear it in equal measure. (My palms have never fully recovered from being clammy while watching her dance on the side of the Marriott downtown.)

This is also VERY dishy. Beyonce did not show up, as is her usual, so I feel like Kelly -- as the lone child of destiny in the building -- is channeling both of them.

I MOSTLY think this is tremendous, but something about the way it's executed looks believably like the other sleeve was unexpectedly removed.

She looks super pretty in this, and when I saw it I thought, "Okay, Kelsea Ballerini isn't here, but I could see Carrie Underwood wearing something similar. I hope this doesn't happen to her again." It did not. Success!

Carrie went more with the pastels. It's quite good, too! Also, it bears repeating that her thigh muscle definition is unreal, as ever. She makes me want to squat some heavy weight.

This feels off-brand for OdlR. I would've guessed The Blonds before I picked them. She also REALLY went in on the body shimmer, unless that's light reflecting from her dress. I'm unable to get excited about any of it.

We're going to see another Dior later today whose skirt I like better than the top, and I feel the same way about this. Those shoes are great, too.

I say YES to plaid, I am thrilled he did too, and I wish more people would follow suit.

Niecy looks nice, but the star here is Jessica's suit, which is FANTASTIC. Like, Bruno Mars is kicking himself right now, because this suit, to me, is totally his vibe. This suit, if left on its own to get around town, would strut to "Uptown Funk."

I find Cody very irritating as a Peloton instructor (and also not very challenging), but I cannot pretend this isn't kicky. Blair Waldorf has a wall somewhere papered in this exact pattern, and that IS a compliment.
