American Music Awards 2012: Ke$ha Tones it Down (PHOTOS)

She may have arrived at the American Music Awards in an uncharacteristically chic outfit. The punky, electro-pop star seemed to have undergone a makeover as she walked the red carpet in a pink lace dress, black platform shoes and glossy pink lips.

After arriving to the 2010 American Music Awards in a mohawk and glittered eyebrows, Ke$ha decided to take a much more subdued, one might say glamorous, route this time around in a classic light pink dress.

The 25-year-old singer, who performed her hit single “Die Young” during the show, looked straight out of a 1940s movie on the red carpet, matching her dress with a vampy, wavy blonde hairdo. Veronica Lake, eat your heart out.
