AS IT HAPPENS: Gigi Hadid is ravishing in red as she kicks off 2016 American Music Awards ...

It was a night of music's biggest and brightest stars.

But perhaps none shined brighter than model Gigi Hadid.

The 21-year-old model scintillated as she kicked off her hosting gig at the 2016 American Music Awards on Sunday night.

The event took place at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, along with her co-host Jay Pharaoh, who is best known for his work on Saturday Night Live.

Gigi looked absolutely fantastic in a shimmering red gown as she and the 29-year-old funnyman hit the stage for their monologue.

As Jay is known for his impressions, the supermodel thought that she would give her first try at mimicking another famous person.

Gigi lampooned soon-to-be first lady Melania Trump as she began her impression by puckering her lips.

She then put on a ridiculous accent and shed light on the 46-year-old model's plagiarism controversy earlier this year as she said:  'I love my husband, President Barack Obama and our children Sasha and Malia.'

Before that the first order of business for the hosts was to introduce Bruno Mars for his opening performance of 24K Magic.

The 31-year-old singer had the crowd on their feet as he and his dancers put on an energetic performance of his latest single while rocking navy, black, gold and white sweatsuits. 

It is shaping up to be a huge night for Drake as early on he took home the Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop prize for his album Views.

The 30-year-old rapper even shed light on his previous work with presenter Nina Dobrev while accepting the prize as he said:  'Me and Nina were on Degrassi together by the way.'

Drake has the most nominations of any artist, with an impressive 12 nods to his name including Artist Of The Year, while a nomination for Rihanna's Work, which he features on, brings the number up to 13.

It's a record-breaking amount, with Michael Jackson previously holding the most American Music Award nominations in a single year when he received 11 for Thriller.

Drake, 30, will be vying for the evening's top honour alongside on/off girlfriend Rihanna, as well as Adele, Beyonce, Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande, Twenty One Pilots, Carrie Underwood and The Weeknd.

Rihanna has received seven nominations, while Adele and Justin Bieber gained five apiece.

Nominees for the title of New Artist Of The Year are Alessia Cara, The Chainsmokers, DNCE, Shawn Mendes and Zayn.

There is no overall song of the year category this year; instead honours will be handed out for best song in the categories of pop/rock, country, rap/hip-hop and soul/R&B. 

While Selena Gomez has been taking some time off from music and is being treated for depression, the show's producer Larry Klein told E! News that she may be making a brief return to the spotlight with an appearance at the ceremony.

And Justin Bieber is apparently ensuring there won't be any awkward run-ins with his ex by performing via satellite, according to show organisers.

The pop star is unable to attend the awards show because he is performing on Sunday night in Zurich, Switzerland as part of his Purpose World Tour.

Viewers will be treated to a host of performances during the evening, with Lady Gaga, John Legend, Bruno Mars, Ariana Grande & Nicki Minaj among the performers.
