Red Carpet Fashion: AMAs 2013

On Sunday, September 25, 2013, ABC hosted and aired its annual American Music Awards (AMAs).  The hottest musicians, actors/actresses, and TV personalities were in attendance.  Unlike the Grammys, whose awards are given based on the votes from members of the Recording Academy, the AMAs are determined by votes from the public and music buyers.  The show had unforgettable performances from Katy Perry, One Direction, Ariana Grande, Imagine Dragons, Pitbull & Kesha, Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, and many more!  You can watch the performances from the awards show here.  It was an exciting night filled with music, celebrities, and, of course, fashion.  Below, I included some of the most memorable outfits from the event.  Enjoy!

Rita Ora                      Katy Perry                    Ellie Goulding

On a side note, while looking through the photos of Sunday night's event, a few of the stars' outfits reminded me of the one-and-only Rihanna.  Although Rihanna did not attend this year's MTV EMAs, there is no denying her influence on the fashion that was showcased throughout the awards.  Props to RiRi and her stylists, including Mel Ottenberg.

Style Crush Saturday: Ariana Grande

Style Crush:  Ariana Grande

Known For:  Acting, Singing, Dancing

Style:  Quirky, Fun, Cute, Bright

Ariana Grande is an American actress that is best known for her role in Nickelodeon's sitcom Victorious as Cat Valentine.  At the age of 15, Ariana's first role was in 2008 when she was cast in the Broadway play 13 as Charlotte.  Since then, Ariana has been working on her debut album that is scheduled to release later this year, as well as starring in another Nickelodeon show Sam & Cat (a spin off of iCarly and Victorious).

Even though Ariana is still considered an up-and-coming artist, her fashion style is definitely established.  Her bright auburn hair plus her flirty dresses add up to a quirky, fun style that is always noticed on the red carpet.   Ariana always seems to have a bright presence along with a fabulous outfit, so it's no wonder she is Nickelodeon's new darling and one of the Internet's top searches.
