Gigi Hadid made her hosting debut at last night’s American Music Awards alongside Jay Pharoah in not one dress, but six, proving that the event wasn’t just a music show, but a fashion show, too. The mod followed in the footsteps of some of the biggest names in the biz in mastering the multi-costume change (think: Jennifer Lopez), which has become a tradition for hosts at this event. Naturally—or perhaps with a little help from the supermod’s stylist Monica Rose—each look magnified Gigi’s effortlessly sexy-meets-glamorous style.
First up: Hadid arrived at the rainy red carpet in an all-white, sheer, off-the-shoulder Roberto Cavalli gown paired with blown-back hair, thin diamond chokers, and a bold lip.

For the show’s opening, Hadid stunned in a custom-made shiny red Atelier Versace dress; the brand also dressed her beau Zayn Malik as he accepted the Best New Artist award.

As for her Nicolas Jebran black dress moment? It was perhaps her most fierce moment of the eve.
