Not long now! Gigi Hadid stuns in red jumpsuit as she poses with co-host Jay Pharoah as they rehearse for the AMAs

Gigi Hadid is a day away from hostessing the American Music Awards at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.

Yet on Sunday, she didn't betray the slightest hint of tension as she and her co-host Jay Pharoah took a break from rehearsal for a photo-shoot.

The 21-year-old had slipped into a cleavage-baring red dress as she and the 29-year-old posed with one of the show's trophies.

Her hair had been teased into waves, and the frill-streaked outfit hung rather loosely over her pencil thin frame. 

She accessorised with a gold choker and complemented her ensemble by way of bright red lipstick and red leather shoes.

Meanwhile, her confrère had slung a large silver cross over a grainy grey T-shirt that bared his toned arms.

Jewellery wise, he'd also popped an earring onto his left ear. He mugged for the camera, pouting as he held the trophy.

For part of the suit, he flung an olive green bomber jacket over his look, which included slimming black trousers. 

Pharaoh is, of course, no stranger to TV comedy, having entertained fans on Saturday Night Live from 2010 until his departure this year.

For her part, the sister of Bella Hadid is becoming a bit of an experienced hand in the field of awards show gigs.

This summer, she was mistress of ceremonies at the 2016 iHeartRadio Much Music Video Awards in Toronto, managing to work her way through five costumes.

The American Music Awards will feature a bit of intrigue this year, inasmuch as famous exes Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber will be pitted against one another in the contest to be garlanded Artist Of The Year.

Bieber, however, is on tour at present, so he'll put in his appearance via satellite from a stopover in Zurich, whilst Gomez will arrive at the Microsoft Theater in person.

Their fellow contenders for Artist Of The Year were unveiled by on the award show's website Monday, and are Rihanna, Carrie Underwood and Ariana Grande.

Originally, the AMAs had listed ten nominees, to be whittled down by audience votes. The eliminated contestants were Adele, Beyoncé, Drake, Twenty One Pilots and The Weeknd.

One of the presenters at Sunday's event will be Heidi Klum, who on Saturday was quick to share her excitement with her fans via Instagram.

The 43-year-old uploaded a promotional image of herself in a black top with a plunging neckline, looking slightly startled as she stood in front of a dark brick wall.

Neon letters above her blared: 'TOMORROW,' and details in text at the bottom of the frame reminded fans the show would air on ABC at 8/7c.
