AMAs 2013: All The Pics
See all the pics from music's big night out
RexTaylor Swift
Before bagging no less than four awards on the night, Taylor Swift arrived at the AMAs red carpet in a gold, glittering Julien Macdonald confection which she paired with shaggy rock ‘n’ roll hair and a pair of strappy cut-out Jimmy Choo shoes.
PANaya Rivera
Going for full-length and fabulous, Glee star Rivera was one of the night’s best dressed in this daring Michael Kors cut-out gown, complete with fully-loaded Hollywood locks and some heavy-duty gold accessories.
RexLady Gaga
Looking like a modern-day Lady Godiva (although she was wearing clothes for her AMAs arrival) Lady Gaga arrived on a mechanical white horse.
RexLady Gaga
Lady G took to the red carpet in this lilac Versace gown and super-long Rapunzel hair. The singer, who performed her new track Do What U Want with R.Kelly on the night, also accessorized her dress with an unusual metal harness-come-necklace-thing.
RexKaty Perry
Going for something a little more classic than her peers, Katy Perry’s Oscar De La Renta polka-dotted strapless gown complete with Katharine Hepburn-inspired hair, set her apart on the red carpet.
RexMiley Cyrus
Another turn up for the books was Miley Cyrus’ arrivals outfit, where she opted for a (relatively) sedate white tailored Versace Versus suit – albeit sans shirt.
RexChristina Aguilera
Showing off her incredibly trim figure at the AMAs, was The Voice judge Christina Aguilera. The singer, who later performed on the night, wore a Maria Lucia Hohan white cutaway dress which she topped off with lashings of bling and sparkle.
PAKylie Jenner
Although Kylie Jenner’s new bangs were the talk of the night, the youngest sibling in the Kardashian-Jenner crew proved she can roll with the most fashionable of her famous sisters, arriving in this shirt and velvet trousers ensemble. The jury’s still out on those shoes, though…
PAKendall Jenner
Meanwhile, big sister Kendall looked all white on the night in a Keepsake mini skirt and cutaway top.
RexAlicia Silverstone
Despite the current trend for all things 90s, Alicia Silverstone resisted the urge to turn up in Cher Horowitz's tartan yellow skirt suit with over-the-knee socks and instead opted for this Art Deco-inspired printed mini dress.
PAKelly Osbourne
Meanwhile, Kelly O’s silver Rami Al Ali gown divided critics on the night with its busy print and full-skirted silhouette. The lilac-haired TV presenter, who completed her look with gold studs through her hair, also tweeted about her gown saying: “:( my dress did not photograph anywhere near as good as it looked in real life!”
RexJennifer Hudson
A newly-pixie cropped Jennifer Hudson looked hot to trot in this zingy Christian Dior tangerine dress with hot pink lining.
RexZoe Saldana
Never one to miss the mark on the red carpet is Zoe Saldana, who wore this embellished Roland Mouret column gown with asymmetric neckline.
PAEmma Roberts
While we love the idea of Emma Roberts’ metallic Lanvin gown with those satin purple accents, we’re not quite sure that it worked in practice on the petite star.
PATLC
In the wake of their comeback, TLC were also in attendance at the AMAs, although their ill-fitting outfits divided critics on the night.
RexNicole Richie
Oh to have Nicole Richie’s (delete as appropriate: wardrobe/figure/hair) because then we’d dare to bare as she did in this white Emilio Pucci gown.
RexBut what celebration of music would be complete without these guys? Yes, the 1D fellas were out in force last night as they attended the AMAs, even bagging two awards for Favourite Band and Favourite Album, in the process.
PAKe$ha
The Tik Tok singer’s black gown with thing-high split and asymmetric neckline was another of the night’s daring dresses but we loved how Ke$ha off-set the prissiness of her dramatic Michael Costello frock with some awesome ice-cream hued hair.
PAHeidi Klum
Never one to shy away from a daring gown, German model Heidi Klum arrived in this lacey fringed number by Marchesa complete with Brian Atwood ankle-strap, peep-toe shoes.
PACiara
Showing off her new bob, Ciara made sure that her new 'do didn't steal all the headlines on the night by opting for this revealing gown by J.Mendel.
PAJustin Timberlake
However, probably the sharpest dresser of the night was JT, who rocked a three-piece suit complete with a blue embellished dinner jacket.
RexRihanna
Although she skipped the red carpet at the beginning of the night, Rihanna later took to the stage to collect her Favourite Soul/R&B Artist gong in this Jean Paul Gaultier Couture two-piece complete with super-slicked hair.
RexRihanna
In a special tribute to her daughter, Rihanna's mother Monica presented her with the Idol Award on the night.
PARihanna
Rihanna then performed her hit single Diamonds in this tuxedo-esque frilly gown with satin lapels. After initially taking to the stage with a 20s-inspired slicked down ‘do, we loved the addition of pearl hair slides, too.
RexKaty Perry
However, one of the most controversial outfits of the night was undoubtedly Katy Perry’s geisha one.

The Roar singer appeared on stage in the traditional Japanese dress, which prompted critics to accuse Perry of racism.
PALady Gaga & R.Kelly
After making quite the entrance to the Awards bash, Gaga then teamed up with R.Kelly to perform their new track together.
PAKe$ha
Ke$ha was another act who also performed on the night. Donning a sort of cowgirl outfit, the singer performed her new single Timber alongside rapper Pitbull.
PATaylor Swift
Taylor Swift scooped an impressive four gongs on the night, including Favourite Album, Favourite Female Country Artist, Artist of the Year and Favourite Pop or Rock Artist.
PAJennifer Lopez
Even though she skipped out on the red carpet earlier in the evening, Jennifer Lopez more than made up for the no-show by pulling out no less than three outfit changes during her AMAs performance. The first was a bat-winged black number...
PAJennifer Lopez
And the second was a typically J-Lo shimmering salsa number...
PAJennifer Lopez
However, we were not prepared for this third one... Widow Twankey at the flamenco, anyone?
PAMiley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus performed her number one hit Wrecking Ball at the ceremony, too. The singer performed with a giant pussy cat in the background - natch.

For her performance, Miley wore a custom piece by Markus Lupfer.
RexAriana Grande
Nickelodeon star Ariana Grande – who is also dating The Wanted’s Nathan Sykes – went for retro-60s hair and a red sequinned Dolce & Gabbana gown to collect her Best New Artist gong and looked every inch the little starlet.
RexJordin Sparks
X Factor USA alumnus Jordin went for a Jovani Couture studded gown for her AMAs arrival. The singer’s full skirt was topped off with a gladiator-inspired top half complete with racer back detailing.
PAJoan Jett
Rock legend Joan Jett was also in attendance and proved that old adage about not fixing things that aren’t broken with her typically Jett staple wardrobe of black, leather and more black.
