Award Show Fly- AMA Performance Outfits



I watched the American Music Awards the other night and my favorite part of the night was of course, the performances. Kelly Clarkson and Lady Gaga’s performances were the best vocally to me, but when it came to the outfits four people stand out in my head Fergie, Jennifer Lopez, Alicia Keys and Jay-Z. J.Lo made a come back with her new single “Dancing in my Louboutins”, unfortunately before she changed into her custom made “red bottoms” she fell on her bottom. But when you’re a forty year old mother of twins, dancing around in front of a boxing ring, leading a slew of muscle bound men, wearing a gold and black lace ensemble equipped with asymmetrical leather straps and sequin boxing shoes, looking fierce, who cares?!? Fergie joined her group the Black Eyed Peas in a melody of their many hits, wearing a black strapless shiny body suit with bootie accentuating ruffles, decorative fishnet-like stockings and knee high “Loubi’s”. [Can I get a Boom-Boom POW?!] Ok, so ever since Lil Mama ruined the first ever live performance of Jay-z & A. Keys' “Empire State”, I feel like I subconsciously anticipate this performance over any other at award shows. It’s lived up to the songs’ greatness every time so far, and this time because of the fashion. Ms. Keys was in a tailored backless black pant suit with gunmetal detailing and Jay-Z in a cream colored full tuxedo, black pants, black bowtie, and accessorized with a broach on the left side of his jacket, the two represented for Frank Sinatra very well. They were all class, all the way, all very New York, takes notes children.
