  • Lovelyish Review: The 2008 American Music Awards

    By Erica@Lovelyish



    There's nothing I love more than music and fashion, which means there's nothing I love more than shows like the AMA's, VMA's, and Grammy's. Every year I look forward to seeing who actually sang on stage, what nutty outfit someone's going to wear and if my favorite artist got robbed of an award or not. This year, however, I was more focused on who actually got paid to dress some of the starlets the way they did.

    So without further blabbering, let's see who should've done a quick change before the red carpet, and who got it just right.

    Miley Cyrus
     

    I'm on the border with this dress. There was so many sequined and sparkly dresses at the show last night that my eyes still hurt.
    I think it's the gold belt that's killing it as well, it looks too busy. Still, she's not on the "don't list" yet for us at Lovelyish.


    Christina Aguilera
     
    Ohhhh, Christina. It looks like you should sit atop my Christmas tree.

    Pink
     
    If her dress was shorter, I actually think it would look better.
    And I cannot get past her hair. I love pink, but it just confuses me.

    Jordin Sparks
     
    I love the hair (iffy on the red extentions) and the dress is cute but seems a little more like a dress you quickly pick up at Forever 21, rather than something you wear to an awards show.

    Colbie Caillat
      
    Alright first off, though maybe irrelevant, why was she even here?
    After 2007's "Bubbly" did she not become irrelevant or have I been under a rock?
    All music rantings aside - who else thinks this looks like she's growing moss on her body?
    So many questions.

    Pussycat Dolls

    These ladies are so beautiful (not to mention their amazing performance, such a guilty pleasure!).
    Nicole's dress (middle) was one of the best last night. Aside from the second yellow Forever 21-ish dress worn that ngiht,
    this group looked very put together, cute, fun and gorgeous.

    Taylor Swift
     
    I love me some Taylor Swift, and I love that she won an award and had such an amazing performance infront of her cruddy ex, Joe Jonas (whom broke up with her in a 27 second phone call then starting dating Camille Belle right after). I was cheering for her all night, totally Team Taylor.
    But that dress also belongs with Christina Aguilera's, lighting up a Christmas tree or perhaps, a small village. It hurts to look.

    Rihanna
      
    I've got a tablecloth that looks just like that. Well, I did. Then my mother threw it out because she said it made the "table look ugly."
    I'm sure she'd say the same thing about Rihanna. I can't even wrap my head around this outfit (gloves, bells on the shoes...). Like, speechless.

    Demi Lovato
     
    This Disney tween tot was one of the best I'd seen all night on the red carpet. She's so cute, the dress is classic,
    her hair and makeup were perfect for it, just everything about it was so charming. Even if she was atrocious in that Camp Rock movie with her BFFs the Jonas Brothers, how she looked last night made up for everything.

    Leona Lewis
     
    I'm so mad they straightened her lovely curls! But anything looks better compared to this....dress. thing.

    Natasha Bedingfield
     
    I give her credit for wearing a suit in lieu of all the fancy dresses, but she looks malnourished and I'm not sure if it's the fit of the suit or she really does need a sandwich. She looks too washed out, and she's way too pretty for this!

    Alicia Keys
     
    It's really a tie with her, Rihanna and Leona Lewis. Sigh.


    Did you watch the American Music Awards this year? What are your thoughts? Who do you think was the best and worst dressed?
