Before you start thinking we’re obsessed with power dressing, know that it’s not just us because the whole world is making its way towards the powerful side of fashion! The American Music Awards ’17 last night proved that female stars have moved away from lavish gowns and embraced pants, blazers and androgyny to the fullest, even on the red carpet.
Haute Trends: The power-suit becomes a hot favourite
‘Glam meets Wall Street’ seemed to be the theme of the night as we saw less gowns and more pants. All-black and rocker-chic looks were a haute favourite, with sleek fuss-free hair as compared to elaborate dos. Take a look at some of the ensembles below.
Alessia Cara
Alessia opted for a black jumpsuit with sheer sleeves and glossy boots. This definitely isn’t our favourite look of the night though…
Garcelle Beauvais
A black blazer wrap-dress paired with glitzy Swarovski boots made quite the statement!
Hailee Steinfeld
A hot bustier paired with a structured padded blazer and smart-tailored pants – Hailee’s look certainly has the oomph factor!
Maia Mitchell
The 3D embellished one-shoulder jumpsuit completed with a leather corset belt stole the show.
Rachel Platten
Rachel’s sheer jumpsuit sadly takes a backseat when compared to Maia’s one-shoulder number.
Selena Gomez
Selena debuted her new blonde hair in a rocker-chic, leather mini dress. Not exactly androgynous, but still super funky!
Yara Shahidi
Trenchcoat, shorts, and socks – a combination you’d rarely see at a red carpet!
We wonder what will reign over the next red carpet…
