Red Carpet Watch

Last night, some of our favorite singers, songwriters and style stars hit L.A.'s Nokia Theatre for the AMAs. In between powerhouse performances by Jennifer Lopez, Kelly Clarkson and LMFAO, there were also some pretty fantastic fashion moments . Check out our favorite five looks from the evening below—we've even rounded up some like-minded pieces to help you recreate those award-worthy ensembles.

It was impossibly hard to narrow it down to our top 15 picks, but somehow we managed.

The stylish starlet spills her mom's rule for buying big-ticket designer pieces.

Evan Rachel Wood stunned in an ivory floor-length gown by Alexandra Rich.

Nicki Minaj looked like an explosion of fun at last night’s VMAs.

The VMAs were a bit lacking when it came to best dressed—too much Jersey Shore inspiration, if you ask us.

While the CMT (that would be Country Music Television) Music Awards may not be everyone's red-carpet cup of tea, the genre is displaying an ever-increasing influence in mainstream pop culture.

The CFDA Awards are a chance for the fashion industry to honor its finest--last night the institution bestowed Marc Jacobs with a Lifetime Achievement award and design darlings Proenza Schouler took home the prize for Womenswear Designer of the Year.

Tilda Swinton, actress and style maven, is a front-runner for top honors at this year's Cannes Film Festival for her role in We Need to Talk About Kevin. While we love nothing better than a thought-provoking film, what we're really excited about was her red-carpet look--a jewel-toned draped gown with a halter top by Belgian designer Haider Ackermann (who is a possible replacement for John Galliano at Dior, btw).

So much attention is paid to the stars who walk the red carpet at the Academy Awards that the after-parties become, well, an after-thought. As I was cruising around the web I came across photos from the infamous Vanity Fair Oscars party held at the Sunset Tower. After seeing many many photos of Natalie, Cate, Mila et al. I was thrilled to see what other celebs were wearing on this big night. The after-party is where celebs who weren't invited to the ceremony converge, and probably the only time that one will overhear, "Hi, I'm Mick, nice to meet you!"
