Gigi Hadid at the American Music Awards

Best of the red carpet at the 2016 American Music Awards

22 November 2016

There’s something about a music awards show that always has celebs bringing their red carpet A-game.

The 44th annual American Music Awards, held at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, was no different and saw celebrities including John Legend, Chrissy Teigen, Heidi Klum and Ariana Grande styling it up in eye-popping outfits.

The big winners of the night were Drake, who won Favourite Artist – Rap/Hip Hop, Favorite Song – Rap/Hip Hop for ‘Hotline Bling’ and Favourite Album (Rap/HipHope) for Views. Ariana Grande won Artist of the Year and Sting was presented with the American Music Award of Merit.

Unlike the Grammy Awards, the AMAs are voted for by fans.

Supermodel Gigi Hadid and Saturday Night Live comedian Jay Pharoah hosted the evening but it was Gigi who drew the biggest laughs (and a barrage of Twitter outrage) for her impression of new first lady Melania Trump.

“I love my husband President Barack Obama and our children, Sasha and Malia,” she said, poking fun at Melania’s RNC speech earlier this year, in which she was accused of lifting material from a speech given by Michelle Obama.
