What a difference a year makes. Paula Abdul hit the red carpet in some serious misses last year (here is an unfortunate reminder of the 2008 Grammys. Yikes!) – but I just caught a glimpse of tonight’s AMA outfit and am loving her black mermaid dress with layered blingy cuffs and bracelets – a fun mix of glam with a rock and roll twist. Bravo!

What do you guys think?

Stay tuned for more coverage…
