AMAs: The best of the dressed

Taylor Swift may have done astonishingly well picking up four awards at the American Music Awards (AMAs) this year but, more importantly, who triumphed and who trailed behind when the stars hit the ruthless Red Carpet? Let the 'best of the dressed' games begin...

Best Dressed Nominees

She knows just how to dress for her own body, and tonight was no exception. Nicole Richie shows us how to put white with cutouts and chunky gold jewellery- and avoid the trashy tag. On anyone else, this would look terrifying. On her waspish- boyish figure, it works. Just.

It's simple, it's not particularly exciting, and it's definitely not groundbreaking. What it is, however, is age-appropriate, and it shows girls everywhere that you don't need to have everything hanging out to look fantastic. For this very reason alone, she deserves to be on this list. Bravo, Kylie, and let's just hope it catches on.

My final nominee is, shockingly, Her Royal Highness Lady Gaga. As the newly appointed face of Versace, she did the fashion world proud (for once) in both the lavender number, and even more so in the bombshell silver gown. There's a first time for everything, right?

...But the winner has to be
Zoe Saldana. She doesn't just look like a movie star, she looks like a lady. Although her hair could have been pulled back off her face, she is memorable and has avoided the boring LBD look of so many others.

Worst Dressed Nominees

The worst offenders all have something in common. No matter how skimpy the outfit, it still manages to be ill-fitting. Even Red Carpet royalty, such as Ms. Kelly Osbourne (who should know better being on Fashion Police, and all) could have done with chopping several inches off the hem. Kudos must be given, however, for her very on-trend hair. The of-the-moment crown has been given the Kelly O. twist!

Heidi Klum failed to impress in her gown which had clearly been hacked by a chainsaw then sent through the shredder.

And Aubrey O'Day appears to have forgotten the vital parts of her dress. It's enough to even make Bridget Jones' Daniel Cleaver blush.

...And the worst dressed is
TLC. Not a single one of the three girls hit anything close to acceptable, as they were stuck in a 90s time warp not once, but TWICE. If you want a comeback, sack the stylist and come back better dressed.
