Super Junior, Girls’ Generation, CN Blue, F.T. Island and Supreme Team kept things simple and safe with black mini dresses and black suits. Loving SHINee and Yoo Ah Yin’s outfit with different shades of grey and lots of layerings for this winter season. For the ladies, Secret’s bridesmaid-like dresses on the red carpet really did not work for me; Min Hyorin’s simple bustier cocktail dress with nude heels really stood out in my opinion.

Tell us what do you think!

2NE1 and miss A are the big Daesang winners in 2010 MAMA

After member Park Bom won "Best Digital Single", 2NE1 win their first group award of the night for Best Female Group of 2010 MAMA.





The YG 4-piece were against Cube's 4Minute, DSP's Kara, Core Contents' T-Ara and SM's SNSD. This ties YG and JYP entertainment at 2 awards each.

2NE1, who had just received the "Best Music Video" award, have received the first of the three major awards to be given out tonight.

The band's first full-length album, "To Anyone", was released earlier this year, and they made headlines by announcing not one, but three promotional tracks, which gained them not only a hit album, but three hit singles.

The second Daesang award to be given out tonight, "Album of The Year", has been awarded to 2NE1 for their first full-length album, "To Anyone".

2NE1 have now won three awards in a row, bringing their total wins up to four. They have now won two out of the three Daesang awards.

The rookie group ends the night with three awards – "Best New Female Artist", "Best Dance Performance By A Female Group", and "Song Of The Year" – making them one of the big winners alongside 2PM and 2NE1.
