A wide range of personalities and styles stepped onto the American Music Awards red carpet tonight. And while there was some color, the best looks were neutral, black, and all-a-glitter. From Rihanna's laser cut Marchesa to Kristen Bell's cool Christian Cota skirt and top, silhouettes were experimental. Glitzy accessories topped off most of the contender's looks. Who was your absolute favorite?

We're always talking about the ladies, but what about the men? At the 2009 American Music Awards, five stylin' males stood out on the red carpet. Joe Perry played it rock 'n roll cool, Adam Lambert worked his slim suit, Ne-Yo looked spiffy in a two-tone blazer and fedora, Pete Wentz did his military thing, and Keith Urban opted for all black. No doubt, they all dressed to impress, but which stylin' male is most Fab?

Disney star Demi looked darling in a pale pink tiered dress with a crystal embellished neckline by Jenny Packham tonight. The sweet hue provides cool contrast with her dark locks. Nude pumps and low-key jewels are mellow accompaniments. Love or hate?

Rihanna was winging it at the American Music Awards — or at least her eyeliner was. Most of you were loving this red eyeliner look when Rihanna sported it earlier this week, but this time she's gone for a cool, almost airbrush effect. She keeps the rest of her makeup simple, and her hair is funky but not busy. One thing's for sure: Rihanna always keeps us guessing. Is this another win in your book, or does it strike an off note for you?

Leave it to Rihanna to bring on the drama. She's a standout in this black and white laser cutout gown by Marchesa. It's revealing, but not too much, and her white shoes add further contrast. Another winner for Rihanna?

Over the past few years, Toni Braxton's hair has gotten both longer and a lot lighter. Here, she's tossed her caramel-toned locks into a loose updo, letting her flawless skin shine through. As for her makeup, it's all about creating a dewy finish, with the emphasis on the eyes. What do you think about Toni's style this evening? Is it perfection or are you longing for more?

The lovely Leona Lewis has, thankfully, recovered from being attacked earlier this year, and she was at her golden girl best on the red carpet tonight. Instead of the gold-toned or smoky eye makeup that usually prevails at awards shows, Leona opted for a bright green shadow that made her eyes stand out beautifully, and she complemented the green with a whisper pink lip and a hint of bronzer on her cheeks. I think the look was lovely, but it wasn't very seasonal. What do you think? Is this makeup pretty no matter what, or is it just too summery for a November television appearance?

Kelly Clarkson stepped onto the red carpet wearing a glittery frock, part black, part silver. Sheer pantyhose, black pumps, and drop earrings are the only accessories the singer needs considering her dress does all the shining. What say you?

Adorable Disney-ite Selena Gomez always looks pretty and age-appropriate when she walks the red carpet. Tonight, she went elegant, wearing her curls in this lovely, loose bun and letting tendrils fall free to frame both sides of her face. I love that her eye makeup was extremely simple and that her lip gloss and blush were both almost sheer. I think she struck a good balance of red carpet glam and young-lady makeup, but what's your opinion? Is this just right for a 17-year-old, or is it too much?

Alicia Keys dazzled the LA crowds with her galactic Armani Privé frock — lovin' the jeweled bodice. Her accessories of choice are matching blue Cesare Paciotti sandals, large cluster earrings, and silver bangles. What's your verdict?
