Billboard Awards 2014 were held last night in Las Vegas, Nevada and where most of the talk today has been the incredible Michael Jackson hologram performance, JLO and Shakira (in my opinion) were the queens of Billboard Awards 2014. Jennifer Lopez, who opened and closed the show with two fierce performances, was also awarded the Billboard Icon Award. Shakira rocked the red carpet in her figure hugging Julien Macdonald dress and took to the stage to perform her new single (and my new favorite song) Empire. Here’s how pop’s two hottest Latinas ruled the evening at Billboard Awards 2014.

JLO looked stunning in a red Donna Karan gown. Love the metallic accessories and shoes.

Shakira chose a very figure hugging Julien Macdonald Fall 2014 dress for the red carpet.

JLO kicked off the show with Pitbull, performing the new official song for the Fifa Soccer World Cup held in Brasil. Ole Ola! And lots of Brasilian drums and dancing, the evening got off with a bang.

When JLO performed her new single “First Love” she wore a very 70s vibe black catsuit with a detachable skirt. Very Diana Ross. (In a good way).

Shakira’s performance set the stage on fire. Figuratively and at times it seems literally.

For the press call after the awards, JLO wore very sophisticated Sen Couture dress.
