All the stars at the American Music Awards

THE biggest names in pop turned out for the 41st American Music Awards in Los Angeles.

THE Nokia Theatre was packed with all of music's hottest stars including Bruno Mars, One Direction and Justin Timberlake.

But the ladies took top honours with Taylor Swift winning an impressive four awards.

The 23-year-old singer was named American Music Artist of the Year, the night's top honour, and also walked away with the Country Album of the Year for Red.

The pretty blonde looked every part the winner in a stunning strapless gold mini-dress and matching earrings.

Miley Cyrus walked home as the winner of the most revealing outfit on Sunday night.

The former Disney star performed her power ballad Wrecking Ball but her impressive vocals were overshadowed by the fact that she once again stripped to her underwear.

But the star of the show was undoubtedly Rihanna who received the Icon Award at the event.

The 'Pour It Up' singer became the first ever recipient of the prize at the glamorous ceremony in Los Angeles.

After accepting her award the Barbadian beauty treated fans to a flawless performance of her hit song 'Diamonds'.
