It was a case of bringing sexy back, as Kendall Jenner and Selena Gomez wowed on the red carpet at the American Music Awards on Sunday.

Selena Gomez made a show-stopping appearance with a rather cheeky rear view in a glittering ruby dress as she hit the red carpet at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.

The Same Old Love songstress was perfectly poised in the sequinned mid-length frock which also featured a centre slit.

The 20-year-old showed off a new short bob which she told host Giuliana Rancic may not be a long-term look.

‘You can check tomorrow to see if I still have short hair’ the Victoria’s Secret beauty said as she revealed he look was down to ‘tricks of the trade’.

Gigi’s ex boyfriend Joe Jonas was also at the event sporting a new look.

His hair was a rather bride shade of blue, proving that a post-split makeover isn’t reserved only for women.

One of the first to walk the red carpet was Giuliana who stunned in a silver and black sheer gown with a sweet mermaid finish.
