Worst Dressed At The AMAA Nominee Party

Ok I didn't get to follow up the AMAA nominee party but I have read some couple of story that said the nominee party was a collection of misfits converging on the red carpet. Well I took close look at some of the outfits, honestly they really look terrible.

According to theseptemberstandardSome, looked like they missed the memo, others seem like they may have lost their way. See the worst dressed from the AMAA event below;

There is just something wrong with this combo

The shiny satin that was merged with the ankara is a no-no and the design is just trashy.

She looks like she missed her way to the cowboy fest.

The shirt though and for such an occasion.

No words

Lots of flesh and little of an actual cloth. And if you cannot effectively pull off a little white dress, don’t bother trying.

Shoes seem too big.

Some colors are missing in the rainbow. This is why the rain is still pouring people.

Everything about this look says she’s en route a strip club.

And this too. And the thought that she only wore that skirt in order to match with the shoe and necklace (or is it the other way round?)

Pick on something your own size lady. A simple gown with the shoes would have done the trick.

Nope. Not a thanksgiving service.

If you sweat Under your arms, you really should consider striking a pose on the carpet.

What went wrong?

A leather jacket?
