What were these celebrities thinking while dressing up for one of America's biggest events?
Ciara: Singer Ciara took sheer to a dazzling new level. She wore a long-sleeve black embellished apparel that left little to imagination. The smoky eyes, pretty pink lips, wisps of hair framing her face, looked stunning on her.
Gigi Hadid: Gigi Hadid stole the thunder in a revealing Bao Tranchi number. The thigh high slit and the ethereal choker dress was not the only changes. People were talking about her new haircut too!
Gwen Stefani: We were at a loss of words when we spotted Gwen Stefani on the AMA red carpet. The hair pulled up in a retro fashion was just perfect, we could not find fault with her makeup too. But the less said about the dress the better.
Sisters in black: Black never goes out of fashion. Nor do the Jenner sisters. While Kylie wore a revealing a leather and chain dress Kendell showed off her toned legs in a mini dress.
Julianne Hough: Julianne Hough channeled her inner Cleopatra in this Naeem Khan number. Ah the slits, there were two of them!
Z Lala: Z Lala outdid herself on the red carpet. The metallic purple dress had a stuffed octopus at her feet; its tentacles crawling up and around her neck. She had a stray tentacle wrapped around her hand and a huge seaweed crown on her head.
Selena Gomez: Held together by a piping, Selena showed much much more than she had originally planned. But she looked dazzling.
Paula Abdul: Paula Abdul wore a short starry black dress. Less said the better.
Tove Lo: Tove Lo wore a long sleeved, opaque midsection covering dress with knee-high boots, For a second we thought the dress was conservative - one with lining. Look closer for what she is wearing beneath her gown.
Justin Bieber: Come as you are, sang Nirvana a long long while ago. But when Justin Bieber wore a vintage Nirvana shirt over an oversized white T shirt, stressed jeans and a stoic expression it did not sit well with Nirvana fans who took to Twitter to express their disgust. Nirvana fans even went to the extent of saying that the band's legacy has been ruined for ever.
