With a stylish host like Gigi Hadid on the docket, you can bet the stars came to the American Music Awards prepared to duke it out for the spotlight. Before we got to admire their bedazzled onstage costumes, the red carpet stirred with sexy, swoon-worthy gowns, including Gigi's Cavalli number and Ciara's turtleneck gown, the very first on the scene.
