Solange Knowles Brings Some Funk To InStyle

“This may sound awful, but I’m excited to let the baby do whatever it wants, in the same way my sister’s done with my son. I’m going to get her back for all those late-night popcorn sessions and just spoiling my child to no end!”.

All The Fashion At The 2011 American Music Awards

The 39th Annual American Music Awards took place last night (20 November) and was it the biggest snoozefest of the year. The red carpet was one big doze-off too, with red carpet firm favourites Lady Gaga, Rihanna (both in the UK) and Beyonce (attending the ‘Live At Roseland: Elements Of 4‘ screening) not making an appearance. Highlights of the night included British songstress Adele finally getting some American recognition, with her critically acclaimed album ‘21‘ winning favourite album as well as pop crooner Bruno Mars surprisingly and deservedly winning favourite male artist over teen sensation Justin Bieber. Country starlet Taylor Swift was of course the big winner of the night once again. Head below for all the red carpet fashion:

With her pink hair pulled into a chignon, Katy Perry showed some sexy leg in a Chinese-printed Vivienne Westwood gown with a high slit.

R&B diva Jennifer Hudson flaunted her gorgeous new figure in a Jenny Packham draped little number.

One of the night’s best-dressed was actress Jenny McCarthy in a puffy Victoria Beckham dress. Love her chic retro side-swept curl and popping red lips.

Jennifer Lopez proved she still got it in this on-the-floor length Zuhair Murad gown.

American Idol alum Adam Lambert once again grabbed our attention in his interesting ensemble.

‘Modern Family‘ actress Julie Bowen looked a mess in her mini dress and messy hair. This look would have been more fitting for her much younger co-star below.

It girl Sarah Hyland underwhelmed in her beaded dress.

Justin Bieber and girlfriend Selena Gomez got loveydovey, with Selena failing to impress in her satin Armani dress.
