Madelyn Cline’s AMAs glam in a word? Sultry, with a capital S. The actor opted for an overall moody vibe with her black cutout halter dress and soft yet striking makeup, complete with shimmery eyeshadow, black winged liner, and a mauve lip.

Michelle Young

She didn't hand out any roses last night but Bachelorette Michelle Young certainly served up a look. She paired her bright green dress with a glowy complexion, side-parted waves, and a subtle terracotta eyeshadow with a slight gold shimmer. If anything she’s the one who deserves a rose.
