The AMA 2014 Fashion Battle

Last night, the American Music Awards were on and of course, I didn't watch them. Usually, I try to take a look for the purpose of catching the red carpet, but with this crop of music, nothing pulled me in and I knew that all the fashion would be online within moments (thank you digital media). After taking a look at some photos, I came down to a few conclusions:
1) The number of obscure Hollywood figures attending this show far surpassed the world famous ones
2) Slits are the new black
3) The men dress better than the women
Since I did not watch the show, I decided to come up with my own list of awards based on the red carpet alone. After all, it is the most important part. Here is what I cam up with:

BEST METALLIC:
Jordin Sparks vs. Olivia Munn
Two women showed up on the red carpet in metallics. Jordin Sparks appeared in a Halston Heritage floor length bronze gown with a deep V neckline and thigh high slit. I'm not sure who she was trying to impress, but it was very 1970s disco chic. Olivia Munn wore a similar look in bold gold Lanvin with slightly less cleavage.
WINNER: Olivia Munn
Neither of them tickled my fancy, but this was the best of the worst.

BEST GOTH LOOK
Lucy Hale vs. Dianna Agron
Lucy graced the red carpet in a Vera Wang Collection mini dress with an embroidered bodice and a dark burgundy lip. It was a little Gatsby meets dark fantasy and very Lucy Hale. Dianna Agron was her blond counterpart in a knee length off the shoulder Marchesa dress with severe body rouching.
WINNER: Lucy Hale
The proportions were just well thought out.

BEST UNDERWEAR APPEARANCE
Kendall Jenner vs. Gigi Hadid
Last night, Kendall looked very rock n' roll in a transparent Yigal Azrouel dress with metallic mesh. Gigi Hadid opted for a bralet and Prabal Gurung suit for a little sex appeal meets sophistication.
WINNER: Kendall Jenner
She is just the woman of the moment, isn't she?

BEST CONSERVATIVE LOOK
Selena Gomez vs. Jenny McCarthy
These two ladies both showed up in floor-length black dresses. Selena Gomez wore Giorgio Armani Prive with a party in the back, while Jenny McCarthy was in Cushnie et Ochs looking almost exactly the same. However, the verdict was clear to me.
WINNER: Jenny McCarthy
It was just a much flattering look on this diva.

MOST SHOCKING
J.Lo vs. Nicki Menaj
These two fierce females surprised me in very different ways. J. Lo exposed her abs in a cutout Reem Acra dress that not only showed off more skin than any one else in the room, but matched her skin tone so closely I wondered whether she was actually wearing a dress. Nicki Minaj looked conservative as ever in a sharp Alexander Wang black mini dress with discrete cutouts at the sides.
WINNER: Nicki Minaj
Nicki is getting more sophisticated by the second.

BEST COLOUR
Julianne Hough vs. Rita Ora
Several women showed up wearing bright pops of colour to contrast with the red carpet. Rita Ora wore a glamorous Zac Posen gown in a flashy yellow hue with a flashy yellow train. Julianne Hough showed up in an orange Zuhair Murad gown that hugged her hips like no other.
WINNER: Julianne Hough
While yellow looked lovely on Rita Ora, this one was the clear winner.

BEST DRESSED
Fergie vs. Kate Beckinsale
Not sure why Kate Beckinsale was there, but she looked ravishing in a long white Kaufmanfranco gown. Fergie was also a stunner in a black Halston dress with the winning slit of the night. In a battle of black vs. white, it was a tough call, but after much thought, I reached a decision.
WINNER: Kate Beckinsale
This was just too breathtaking for words. But then again, everything Kate Beckinsale puts on seems to have that affect on me.

What do you think of this list? Who was your best-dressed? 

Ponder it,
