Celebrity style

Taylor Swift channelled jazz glamour, Selena Gomez’s strapless green dress swallowed her up and host Ciara’s colt blue power suit commanded attention throughout the night

R&B singer Ciara hosted the latest edition of the American Music Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday. Besides jaw-dropping performances by Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez alike, it was thrilling to see what the stars wore on the red carpet.

The fashion extravaganza was packed with trendsetters and their trophy-worthy outfits included thigh-high slit designs and gorgeous vintage pieces from previous collections of designers. Some, however, completely missed the point, sartorially speaking.

Here is our verdict on the style winners.

Compared to the dazzling jewellery and the outfit she wore while performing, we are not a big fan of Selena Gomez’s strapless green dress, which dwarfed the young singer.

Did Constance Wu just watch the animation film Ne Zha and decide to do a meme?

Each part of Canadian singer Shania Twain’s ensemble could be flattering, but there’s something about the champagne satin and the black tulle combo that doesn’t match. Together (with the untidy hairstyle) it looks frumpy.
