There was definitely a strong trend when it came to dressing for the 2013 American Music Awards, and luckily most of the stars got the memo.

Miley Cyrus, Nicole Richie and Christina Aguilera were among a string of celebs parading white cut-out outfits down the red carpet.

Lady Gaga chose to buck the trend, riding in on the ultimate red carpet accessory, a white horse instead of a white dress, and were some splashes of colour popping out alongside safe black and white looks.

What’s your favourite look from this year’s AMAs?

Christina Aguilera, Nicole Richie and Miley Cyrus all caught on to the white cut-out trend.

Miley Cyrus proved she’s still daddy’s girl posing with father Billy Ray on the red carpet.

Nicole Richie wore a glamorous cut-out dress by Emilio Pucci.

Christina Aguilera looks like a 50’s screen siren in this white split dress.

Kristen Bell got in on the white trend presenting an award alongside Chris Daughtry.

Taylor Swift bucked the trend in a teeny tiny gold strapless sparkly dress.

Heidi Klum wore a lacy black Marchesa frock.

Lady Gaga arrived in a Versace gown, and on a white man-operated horse.

Katy Perry wore a black and floral number.

Alicia Silverstone opted for a rock chic look.

Comedian Sarah Silverman added a splash of colour.

Kelly Osbourne’s silvery frock complemented her hair nicely.

The 2013 American Music Awards has kicked off in the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles with all the sexiest stars stepping out for the event.

Lady Gaga didn’t disappoint, riding in on white, man-peddled horse.

American Diva Christina Aguleria and Nicole Richie had an awkward red carpet moment when they both turned up in similar floor length white dresses, both with panels cut away at their waists.

Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake, Rihanna and Macklemore have all taken home awards but it was the styling stars on the red carpet that got everyone talking. See them all here!

Alicia Silverstone steps out with a new hairdo and a hot gold dress. She’s still got it!

One Direction colour coordinate, with Niall even dying his hair grey for the occasion.

A transformed Christina Aguleria showed off her new trim tummy and legs.

Only Lady Gaga would ride in on a man-peddled horse. Poor guys!

Heidi Klum dazzles in black, sheer lace. It’s no wonder Seal can’t stay away!

The Jenner sister’s look very much at home on the red carpet. Which one’s the model?

Katy Perry never lets us down. And while her hair may be tame the dress still says ‘Wow’.

Hollywood’s fashion icon Kelly Osbourne teams a grey dress with purple hair and spikes. Yikes!

Miley Cyrus is wearing pants! Perhaps next time she will remember her shirt.

Looks familiar? Nicole Richie gave Christina a run for her money in a white Pucci dress.

Taylor Swift shows off her long pins in a bedazzling gold mini dress.

Rihanna takes home the fan-voted AMA Icon award for being the voice of the generation.

Prince Harry spends weekend snowed in while Cressida hits the clubs

Prince Harry arrives in Antarctica over the weekend, while girlfriend Cressida was snapped at a London nightclub.

Dressed casually in stylish skinny jeans, a black jacket and matching trainers, Cressida joined her half-sister Isabella Branson in supporting their brother Jacobi Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe whose DJ group Housekeeping hosted an ‘envy’ themed party.

Camden bar Koko, one of Harry’s favourite night spots, was transformed to represent Ibiza for the night, but the Prince missed out on the tropical festivities, spending his weekend acclimatising to Antarctica’s icy temperatures ahead of his charity trek with wounded servicemen and women.

Current reports suggest the 29-year-old Prince, whose gruelling trek is already two days behind schedule thanks to weather condition, is snowed in at his base camp in Antarctica after a snow storm and high winds.

Harry and his fellow Walking With The Wounded expedition members are now expected to depart on the 16-day trek on Tuesday at the earlier, according to The Mirror.

Once the race does kick off, Harry and his team will endure temperatures as low as minus 45C as they trek up to 20km each day towards the South Pole.

Harry is patron of the Walking With The Wounded South Pole Allied Challenge, and will race more than 330km to the finish line to raise funds for military charities.

The Prince is well-prepared for the 16-day trek, having undergone special training with his team to equip himself for the gruelling conditions, including spending 24 hours in an icy chamber.

Pippa’s secret wedding

Pippa’s secret wedding

Pippa Middleton and stockbroker Nico Jackson are secretly planning a lavish wedding that’s set to take place early next year.

The handsome 36-year-old has been telling his friends to keep it under wraps but to save the date for an English spring wedding where he’ll wed the Duchess of Cambridge’s younger sister.

“Nico can’t stop talking about it,” a friend close to the Deutsche Bank executive said.

“It’s been the source of much excitement among his friends. He and Pippa want everything to be just perfect.”

Keeping their relationship low-key, the couple were first spotted together with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Middleton family on the beautiful island of Mustique in February.

Rumours ramped up in September when Pippa, 30, took off with her dashing Englishman to a dreamy Caribbean island, the place they are said to have sealed their relationship with a ring and a promise to wed.

“They have been together for a lot longer than people realise. They want to announce an engagement after Christmas and the wedding will follow soon after,” the source said.

The couple are expected to make an announcement about their wedding in the next couple of months with strong suggestions they will choose Scotland as their whimsical wedding destination, despite her future parents-in-law wanting a wedding closer to their home in Kent, England.

“Nico’s parents would love to have the wedding in Kent,” the source said.

But like their engagement, the young couple are keeping their lips sealed for now about when and where the nuptials will take place.

Pippa ‘planning secret wedding’

Profile picture of Now to Love

Pippa Middleton with boyfriend Nico Jackson at a ball last week.

The Duchess of Cambridge’s sister is set to announce plans for “a spring wedding”, according to the Mail On Sunday, and will reportedly pick the festive season to reveal the news.

Stepping out arm in arm with Pippa in a dazzling dress that left little to the imagination at a ball last week was enough to reignite engagements rumours for the pair, with friends reportedly revealing they had been instructed by 36-year-old Nico to “prepare for a spring wedding”.

“Nico can’t stop talking about it,” a friend of the stockbroker told the Mail.

“It’s been the source of much excitement among his friends. He and Pippa want everything to be just perfect.”

The loved up pair are thought to have been dating for about eight months, and anticipation of their impending nuptials has led to speculation the Duchess of Cambridge will return the favour and be bridesmaid to her younger sister.

“They have been together for a lot longer than people realise. They want to announce an engagement after Christmas and the wedding will follow soon after,” the source said.

The same newspaper reported earlier this month that Pippa, 29, had her heart set on a wedding in the Scottish Highlands, but Nico’s parents, who live in Kent, would prefer a local wedding.

While Westminster Abbey, where Pippa famously played bridesmaid to her older sister Kate, is unlikely to be an option, a reception at her parents’ Berkshire family home would be “too low-key”, according to one friend.

In a recent newspaper column about floral decorating, Pippa said she had “great fun” trying out flower arranging, and even considered becoming “a DIY bride” when she does tie the knot.

Kate showing off some of hairdresser James Pryce's best work.

Kate had been going to Chelsea hairstylist James Pryce for the past five years. He has styled her hair for countless important events, including her wedding to Prince William in 2011.

James also travelled to Canada and the US with the Duchess in 2011 to style her hair throughout her first foreign tour.

James recently broke away from Richard Ward Salon – where he made his name – to go it alone but the UK’s Telegraph reports Kate has not followed him.

“Richard Ward is still cutting Kate’s hair and she has her colour done at the salon,” a salon employee told the newspaper.

“Plus, she has stylist Amanda Cook Tucker to blow dry her hair for events. James has been pushed out.”

James reportedly fell from favour after he posted hundreds of pictures of Kate’s hair online without permission from the palace.

“He launched a Facebook page and Twitter account which featured hundreds of pictures of Kate and her various hairstyles to promote his business,” the source said.

“Obviously, that did not go down too well with the Palace at all.”

Holly Valance welcomes baby girl

Holly Valance with her husband Nick Candy.

mer Neighbours star Holly Valance has given birth to a baby girl.

The 30-year-old and her husband, property billionaire Nick Candy, 40, welcomed Luka Violet Toni just a few days ago.

“Holly is at home,” Nick told UK newspaper The Telegraph. “We aren’t having any help at the moment. Holly doesn’t want any; she wants to do it all ourselves at this stage.

“She is a perfect mother. It was a natural birth. She is from a big Australian family, with younger siblings, so she knows exactly what she is doing.”

Nick said their daughter’s name is a tribute to his late father, who died only recently.

“It is such a shame that dad died six weeks before Luka was born, but I had the best role model possible in him so, hopefully, if I can be anything like the father he was to me, when it comes to raising Luka, we’ll be onto a winner.

“Her nickname will be LuLu but if she ever goes into business LuLu Candy doesn’t quite work.”

The pair wed in September 2012 in a lavish Beverly Hills ceremony.
