The night’s leading lady who’s nominated for 10 mom men showed up on the carpet looking super snatched in a velvet gown that hugged her curves just five weeks after giving birth to baby Kulture. She showed off a bold new pixie cut and lots of cleavage and walked the pink carpet sans her husband, Offset.

Amber Rose is quite the little devil in a red latex teddy with matching gloves and whip. Guess she’s going for the devilish dominatrix look.

Blac Chyna showed a little too much of her tattooed bod for our taste but what do we know? Her pink-chain ensembles certainly proves she’s proud of her post-baby bod and she should be.

The Queen rapper showed up in what looks like a designer belted-bathing suit with a sheer overlay that we guess makes it a dress that showed off her every curve.
