American Music Awards 2013: Hits and Misses on the Red Carpet

  • Miss: Heidi, Heidi, Heidi. Heidi Klum is a supermodel. She’s on “Project Runway,” where she challenges the brightest up-and-comers in fashion to be daring and memorable, but her dress reminds us of nothing more than a nice nightgown … with a random fringe skirt. Klum finished her look with messy bang and ponytail. If a designer showed this look to the “Runway” judges on her show, we think they’d be auf’d.

  • Jordin Sparks had a bit of a goddess vibe going tonight in this black dressed with flowing, split skirt and fitted, gold-studded top. The sandals complemented the look. We thought her hair could have used a bit more oomph, but overall, we approve. REUTERS/Mario Anzuoni (UNITED STATES- TAGS: ENTERTAINMENT)(AMA-ARRIVALS)

  • Well done, Miss Ke$ha! The singer who always makes a big impression on the red carpet does it this time for all the right reasons. Sure, the split on this black gown is very wide and super-high, and the off-the-shoulder design may have been one element too much in this look, but it all really works. It’s a music red carpet so the singer has license push the envelope – which she has with the pink and green hair. Très chic. REUTERS/Mario Anzuoni (UNITED STATES - TAGS: ENTERTAINMENT)(AMA-ARRIVALS)

  • Nicole Richie has gained a reputation for taking risks on the red carpet, but this slim white dress with the too-large side cutouts doesn’t flatter the slender fashionista’s boyish figure at all. From the shoulders up, Richie looks good, but the rest of the dress seems ill-fitting. REUTERS/Mario Anzuoni (UNITED STATES - TAGS: ENTERTAINMENT)(AMA-ARRIVALS)
