But the times, they are a changing as celebs sported everything from Balmain to Monique Lhuillier on the red carpet.

Kelly Rowland, Stacy Keibler, and Taylor Swift looked fetching in sequined lace and metallic fiber cocktail dresses, revealing lots of leg in Naeem Khan, Collette Dinnigan, and Zuhair Murad, respectively.

Heidi Klum, Ke$cha, and Kimberly Cole kept the sequined lace trend going on the AMA red carpet. Heidi Klum stunned in a short gold metallic lace number from Alexandre Vauthier Couture.
