Looks to Love from the AMAs

Red carpet style is always something to get excited about and the looks at the 2010 American Music Awards were no exception. From Rihanna's red spirals to Taylor Swift's surprisingly straight tresses, celebrities brought their A-game to the arrivals carpet. And while there were some misses-FYI Avril Lavigne, it's no longer 2002-there were several great styles worthy of some love. Here are five favorites, plus how to get Rihanna's curls.

1. Rihanna
Rihanna's been in a red mood lately, but this was the first time she's modeled the dark red spirals. The voluminous, retro style complemented her red lace dress perfectly. Celebrity stylist, Ursula Stephen, used a Brazilian Heat ceramic curling iron to create the look. She told Essence.com: "First, I sectioned Rihanna's hair in small pieces. Then, I sprayed it with Motions Light Hold Working Spritz, and wrapped each section around a 3/4" Brazilian Heat ceramic curling iron. Once I released each curl, I combed it quickly before it cooled to create a fluffy, not-so-tight look. When her whole head was curled, I gave her hair a final spray of the Working Spritz, and the look was set."

2. Taylor Swift
Going the opposite of curly-haired RiRi, Swift straightened her normal spirals into a sleek, sophisticated blond style-finished off with a perfect, eyebrow-grazing fringe.

3. Willow Smith
When was the last time a nine-year-old made such a splash on the style scene? Smith's many-varied looks over the last six months have captured the imaginations of stylists around the country. It all started over the summer, when she supported older brother, Jaden, at Karate Kid premieres around the world all while rocking some serious hair. She didn't disappoint at the AMAs where she took the spotlight.

4. Katy Perry
Talk about the newlywed glow! Perry left her colorful wigs and bright make-up at home, sticking to her normal, glossy dark hair and make-up in shades of pale pink to play up her porcelain skin. Her look was completed with a pale pink dress-perfectly beautiful for a new bride.

5. Kesha
Continuing to polarize audiences on her style, Kesha's look inspired both love and hate. Her edgy image is often reminiscent of a less dramatic Lady Gaga. But when faced with a bevy of fresh-faced, identical starlets on the red carpet, how can you not love Kesha's pushing of the boundaries?
