We’re not sure if the dropping temperature made the women at the 2013 American Music Awards channel their inner snow queens, but one thing is for sure: we’re having a dress field day over here!

With the likes of Disney-stars-turned-sexy-icons, such as Christina Aguilera and Miley Cyrus, draping themselves in white crispness, it seems like it won’t be long until we see white become the dress color of choice for the holidays.

Let’s do a rundown, shall we?

1. Nicole Richie in Emilio Pucci

Nicole Richie wore an ultra-sexy floor-length number from Emilio Pucci, which she adorned with chunky jewelry from Saint Laurent and Gucci, a fringed clutch from House of Harlow, and some gray suede-and-mesh shoes from Casadei.

While a maxi dress is a tricky thing for short women, Nicole knows how it’s done. Do you think that’s sexy? Wait ’til you see the back of her dress.

2. Christina Aguilera in Maria Lucia Hohan

Christina Aguilera wore a dress by Maria Lucia Hohan, which strategically showed off the right amount of skin without losing its sophistication (we do have to note that those hems could have been better finished).

The pop star adorned her dress with just enough frosting from Lorraine Schwartz, echoed by a silver clutch from Jimmy Choo and sparklies from Christian Louboutin.

3. Kendall Jenner

Fresh from the Harry Styles dating rumor mill, the reality television star stepped out onto the red carpet in a very pure-looking ensemble from Keepsake, paired with some Manolo Blahniks and some silver from Dylanlex.

Sorry, sweetie. No amount of white can purge you from 1D fans purgatory.

4. Brandi Cyrus in Rachel Zoe

Little Miss Best-Dressed Miley Cyrus’ older half-sister was working as a correspondent for Spin Media, but the paparazzi asked her to pose for the cameras anyway.

Who can blame them? Brandi Cyrus wore a dress from the Rachel Zoe Fall 2013 collection and some limited edition Louboutins that she borrowed from her little sister.

Miley later expressed some playful disappointment at the paparazzi, saying that they should have taken more pictures of Brandi’s feet to better capture the Christian Louboutin 20th Anniversary Armadillo Bride 120 leather pumps.

5. Bonnie McKee Is White Hot

Singer/songwriter Bonnie McKee was all about mermaid dresses that evening, switching into a black (and puffier) version of her white dress as she stood on the red carpet to do her share of hosting. The 29-year-old wore jewelry from Bettine Javaheri.

The lovely Zendaya Coleman also made an appearance on the red carpet in a long billowy top with matching skinny trousers from Donna Karan. Not huge fans of her hooker heels from Louboutin, though.
