How-To: Alicia Keys's High-Performing Braid at the AMAs Since most of you weren't fans of Alicia Keys's red carpet accessories, what did you think about her performance hair later that night? Personally, I've gotta give the gal credit for always switching it up and testing out new styles. The trio featuring this songstress (alongside Queen Latifah and Kathleen Battle) was one of my favorite medleys of the night, and Alicia's slick braid stood out, too.

While the
American Music Awards had our full attention last night, another set of stars came together on Saturday night in LA for
CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute. Justin Timberlake's ex-girlfriend, Cameron Diaz looked beautiful in basic black, while his current girl Jessica Biel looked equally fabulous in her strapless number. Sexy Salma Hayek stood out in an eye-catching colored dress while the guys didn't disappoint either — Hugh Jackman lived up to his new title of
Sexiest Man Alive and John Legend looked hot as he performed on stage.

Last night in Los Angeles, some of the world's most talented singers attended the 2008 American Music Awards. In true red carpet form, the ladies took pride in their primping and arrived with intricate hair and makeup looks. To vote on their individual beauty styles, check out my girl Bella US's
love it or hate it polls, but overall, out of these eight looks, who wowed you the most?

The ladies mixed it up with sparkles on the red carpet at last night's
American Music Awards — check out
how to get some of the looks. Miley Cyrus looked great and is
winning for best dressed in her gold and black mini dress on her 16th birthday! Christina quickly walked the red carpet before kicking off the show with her medley of hits while Rihanna found a way to pull off a dress not everyone could.

Chris Brown, Rihanna, and Kanye West were among the big winners Sunday at the
American Music Awards. Brown took home the biggest prize of all, winning Artist of the Year by beating out Lil Wayne, Coldplay, the Eagles, and Alicia Keys. It was one of three awards for Brown, who also won Favorite Male Artist in both the pop/rock and soul/R&B categories.

Today's musical bests came out for the
American Music Awards, and several of them did so in style. There wasn't a lot of color or drama, but detailing and shimmer made up for it. Taylor Swift looked sweet in a beaded one shouldered dress, while Alicia Keys looked exotic in navy and a bindi.

One thing I love about Alicia Keys: She's always taking risks with her style, something that too few stars seem to do these days. Her latest look centers on a jeweled hair accessory called a tikka. They're traditionally worn for special events in India, and if you like the Bollywood look,
these tikkas aren't too expensive.

Alicia added some much needed color to the metallicized
American Music Awards red carpet. She also added exotic flair. Her navy one shoulder gown with silver embellishment is lovely, but I'm really digging her bold earrings and silver bindi.

Not only was Alicia Key's violet Moschino dress lovely, her contrasting clutch elevated her look. I am guilty of grabbing the same old vintage black clutch when I'm running out the door, but I am inspired to consider a switcharoo, or two. Though I love my black clutch, a contrasting clutch shows the world you have fun with fashion, you don't always play it safe.
