The music industry's hottest and most talented stars took over the Nokia Theatre in downtown Los Angeles for the American Music Awards last weekend. Stars as different as Taylor Swift, Katy Perry and Ke$ha came dressed in outfits that ranged from glamorous gowns to edgy bandage dresses with long trains -- think Miley Cyrus, looking like an unraveling mummy -- to just plain odd ensembles.

Some of the best dressed of the night were attendees who’ve never recorded a single note; the most memorable being actress Jessica Alba. Alba presented the award for favorite female country artist to Taylor Swift during the night’s festivities.

The actress could have been a stylish "Star Trek" extra in a futuristic, one shoulder black dress by Cushnie et Ochs, chunky gold and silver jewelry and ankle-wrap black satin pumps. Her updated version of the classic little black dress featured a one shoulder strap detail, and her minimalist color palette ended up delivering a maximum punch of style. She spruced up the dress with bold, eye-catching metallic accessories and heels with some definite character.

She let her accessories shine by keeping her pulled back ponytail simple and ditching the earrings.
