The 2014 American Music Awards are going down at the Nokia Theatre in L.A. tonight. Peep the red carpet pics of Nicki Minaj, Jhene Aiko, Jennifer Lopez, Zendaya Coleman, Jordin Sparks and many more inside…
As she gears up for the release of her new album The Pinkprint, Nicki Minaj took a break from the studio to hit the red carpet for the 2014 American Music Awards at the Nokia Theatre in L.A.
The “ONLY” raptress kept it simple yet quite sexy in a black sheer cut-out Alexander Wang pleated mini-dress paired with black Manolo Blahnik pointed toe pumps.
Good makeup look for her. Nicki's highly anticipated third studio album The Pinkprint is expected to drop December 15th.
R&B singer Jhene Aiko came princess-ready for the awards show. She sashayed down the carpet in an Alice & Olivia ball gown that totally covered her gold Giuseppe Zanotti peep-toe pumps she showed off during her red carpet interviews. Her braided hair was just the right touch to finish her Cinderella look.
The Souled Out singer nabbed her first music nominations at tonight's awards show. She went head-to-head against Beyonce& Mary J. Blige for favorite Soul/R&B female artist, and King Bey won out.
Jennifer Lopez modeled a soft pink bandage cutout Reem Acra Spring 15 dress complete with Christian Louboutin heels. Not our absolute fave look of hers, since she's usually so chic, but she makes it work thanks to her ridiculously sexy vibe.
JLo and her "ass"ets hit the stage alongside Iggy Azalea to perform their track "Booty".
Disney star Zendaya Coleman popped up on the carpet serving up some 70s Diana Ross tease. She rocked a gold metallic Georgine Spring 2015 trench coat drapped over her shoulders with matching palazzo pants. She finished her look with a mint green bandeau halter top and Gucci heels.
We're droolin' over these curls!
Also in a metallic number with curls, Jordin Sparks got glitzy for the occasion. She worked the carpet in a bronze high-slit Halston Heritage Fall 2014 sequined gown that she paired with black Dolce & Gabbana strap sandals. She hit the carpet before she got to her hosting duties on the red carpet with Kandi Burruss, Lance Bass and Gavin DeGraw.
Looks like she’s doing just fine living the single life. But are we feeling her new nose ring?
Newly confirmed couple Jessie J and Luke James made their first official public appearance together on the carpet. How cute.
“Black Widow” singer Rita Ora brighten up the carpet in a sun yellow strapless Zac Posen gown with a major train.
Chick looks just a tad overdressed. But sometimes it works when you do Team Too Much....sometimes.
Mary J. Blige is gearing up for the release of her new album titled The London Sessions (Dec. 2nd). She hit the stage during the awards to perform a single from her forthcoming LP. And she’s also up for the favorite female Soul/R&B award up against Beyonce and Jhene Aiko.
Yassss!
The "black•ish" family came out and posed it up on the carpet. Tracee Ellis Ross kept it simple but sexy in an all black turtle neck dress with the perfect open back, while Anthony Anderson, Yara Shahidi, Marcus Scribner and Miles Brown were all smiles on the carpet. "black•ish" comes on every Wednesday at 9:30/8:30c on ABC...and e're loving every bit of it.
"Orange Is The New Black" standout Uzo Aduba hit the carpet in a black Vivenne Westwood dress, black Giuseppe Zanotti sandals, accessorized with a Lee Savage clutch.
Actress Garcelle Beauvais was a breath of fresh air in this coral Michael Costello gown, topped off with her curly coif.
Loves it.
Rocsi Diaz walked the carpet in an...interesting number.
Ne-Yo cleaned up in a blue Anthony Franco suit and Prada shoes. The "She Knows" singer is expected to drop his new album Non-Fiction early 2015.
16-year-old Jaden Smith plugged his new app Jaden Experience on the carpet. He recently dropped a new mixtape called Cool Tapes Volume 2 and it appears momager Kris Jenner MAY be managing his budding rap career.
Wyclef Jean hit the carpet in a leather clad punk rock look. He hit the stage with Canadian reggae band Magic!
And Star Jones showed off a little leg before making her way inside. Not sure this look is for anyone over 30....but are you feeling it?
