Glamour oozed all over the red carpet on music’s biggest night. My pick for best dressed overall? Carrie Underwood, in a stunningly ornate strapless Roberto Cavalli gown (and over $30 million in diamonds). And representing the dudes, Adam Levine doing the monochromatic black tux thing, complete with bow tie and hot shades. Drool.

I also loved these gowns:

Kelly Rowland in a fierce black (and dangerously sheer) Georges Chakra cutout gown. A serious dress code pusher.

Katy Perry showcasing her silhouette and channeling 70s era Priscilla Presley in a mint green Gucci gown (and shockingly subdued makeup, for her).

Here are some other notable beauty looks that lit up the red carpet:

Powerhouse vocalist Adele wearing a dramatic eye with serious falsies and powerful liner to match. Loved her statement eye and also her loose romantic updo.

A soft and glamorous Rihanna wearing a bold red lip, perfectly highlighted skin, and beautifully styled subtle ombre curls.

I feel some tutorials coming on…
