How to Dress Like Jay-Z At The 2009 American Music Awards


Despite the complete and utter wackness of the 2009 American Music Awards, Jay-Z seemed to have a great night. He performed his chart-topping single, "Empire State of Mind" with Alicia Keys then went on to bag two trophies: one for Favorite Rap/Hip Hop Male Artist and one for Favorite Rap/Hip Hop Album. He did all this while looking literally like the "new Sinatra." First in an all white tux, then in a super dapper velvet blazer and tuxedo pants. We know, this look ain't for everyone, but there will come a time when you need to get formal with your attire. So read on to learn how to get Hov's look from last night.
