Yesterday, I had nothing nice to say about attendees at the American Music Awards. Today I'll be a little kinder.
Love Shakira, love the dress. The color works on her, and she's got the body for short tight Versace. The platforms on her shoes are a bit ridiculous though....
Rihanna doesn't look like she can possibly be comfortable in her stiff-looking scherenschnitte-style Marchesa dress, but she's one of very few people who can pull off such a look. And I love that her shoes are so classic and ladylike.
Candis Cayne looks like a giant sparkly dip of strawberry ice cream, but that's fine, as she's bringing some old-fashioned Hollywood glamour to the red carpet.
Paula Abdul, on the other hand, is bringing the crazy. Her Enzoani dress had a mermaid-style skirt so large, she needed dress wranglers to help her walk. That was a bit nutty, but we expect nothing less from Ms Abdul. The dress fit her like a glove though, and with her hair worn in loose waves, she looked great.
I've got some mixed emotions about Fergie's Armani Privé gown, but the sequins and zipper trim is really quite rock-and-roll without being outré. On Fergie, I give it a thumb's up.
