Zendaya in Emanuel Ungaro

This is VERY sweet, and she looks lovely in it. I would probably have given it the nod for a totally different event, but you do you, Zendaya. (I do love the juxtaposition of a dress like this one with something like the naked dress Ciara is wearing. Prim suddenly feels so much fresher.)

Demi Lovato in Lorena Sarbu

I think her head looks gorgeously retro, and she actually looks lovely in this. It might be a scoooootch too old for her?

Rebel Wilson in Eloquii

SHINY! This is really cute on her -- it's totally perfect for the event, and I love that candy-wrapper-clutch. I kind of feel like she needs one more SOMETHING - a ring? A flashier manicure? -- but overall, this is super fun.

Hailee Steinfeld in Zuhair Murad

In which Taylor Swift loans Hailee her best Sexy Majorette costume and wishes her a blessed evening.

Kat Graham in Georges Chakra

She always looks like a party, and while I continue to wonder why so many young women went so formal to this -- is the AMAs secretly fancier than I have been led to believe? -- you can't say she doesn't look good in this.

Gigi Hadid in Bao Tranchi

Like, how are Gigi and Kat at the same party? Music awards shows: confounding stylists daily. I feel like there is a Secret Listserv for Stylists Only, and there are whole weeks where they're all like, "the freaking AMAs. One of my girls wants to wear a wedding dress and the other one wants to wear spangled chaps. You guys should see the inside of my car right now."

Anyway, Gigi: Keep the hair short, maybe toss out the sexy sports bra?

One Direction

ONE OF THESE THINGS IS NOT LIKE THE OTHERS.

Alicia Silverstone in Christian Siriano

Siriano makes TOTAL SENSE, given that I interviewed her there in September. She looks lovely, and I know she reunited with Jeremy Sisto to present, which makes me wonder...did The Kids Today Watching the AMAs even GET THAT?

Z LaLa

Poor unfortunate soul.

Joe Jonas

He's just really feeling Drake right now, you guys.

Hannah Davis in Naeem Khan

Zzz.

Christina Milian

Zzzzzzzzzz. I feel like, Rihanna is on a sofa somewhere, eating a sandwich and snickering. "Nice try," she says. "This event was BORING with me." (I miss you, Rihanna.)

Chloe Grace Moretz in Saint Laurent

There is nothing objectionable about this dress. But there IS something weird to me about perfectly matching your string choker to the ankle strap of your shoes. You are partitioning off your body like a blueprint.

Serayah McNell

This feels a little Depressed Showgirl -- the feathers! -- but she's kind of working it. (I am sorry I picked a photo of you where you look so out of it, Serayah.)

Kelsea Ballerini

"Wait. WHAT? It's not the CMAs? DAMMNIT."

Joe Jonas, etc

I have turned to Informative Caption: "Jack Lawless, JinJoo Lee, Joe Jonas and Cole Whittle of music group DNCE." You could tell me this was for an SNL skit and I would 100% believe you.

Pentatonix

I don't understand anything anymore. Although that patterned top/shirt number is, legitimately, pretty saucy.

Terry Crews

The best way to end the day. Always.

American Music Awards Fugs and Fabs: The Lightbox Purge

So, there are A LOT of proper celebs in this round-up. 1D! Demi! Hailee Steinfeld! Cher Horowitz! You know it's the end of the year when I'm all, "Harry Styles is dressed as a powder room, whatever. Let's move on!" (Which, for what it's worth, seemed to be how Harry felt on the red carpet, although he did seem really interested in chasing down Gigi Hadid, which...those two are totally going to date. As old and boring as I am now, I do thrill to the amount of ex and possibly future couples there were in attendance at this event. Take T Swift's girl squad and place them in a room with a variety of Jonaii and watch what happens.) [Photos: Getty]
