The AMAs celebrated their 40^th anniversary this evening in Los Angeles, and as a result no one made any particularly concerted efforts to look good. Your forties are just like that, you have more important things to think about, like giving all of your prizes to Justin Bieber, Carly Rae Jepsen and Taylor Swift. You know, serious adult things.

Anyway, the only award that really matters is Best Dressed, which went to the stunning Kerry Washington, who wore a demure yolk-yellow lace dress with a body-con slip and matchy-matchy purse.
