Diana Ross proves she's still got it at 73

Diana Ross proved at this year's American Music Awards that age is only a number.

The star was awarded the Lifetime Achievement award and you can totally see why.

At 73-years-old Diana's still got it, and she brought some major sass and swag to her performance, captivating the crowd just like she has always done.

Diana channelled her inner-goddess looking utterly fabulous in a deep purple and black floor-length gown paired with a billowing purple cape and some serious bling around her neck.

The music legend performed some of her classic songs including I'm Coming Out, Take Me Higher andEase on Down the Road before accepting her award.

Diana was joined by the rest of her family on stage as her daughter, Rhonda Ross Kendrick, presented her with the award.

"This is all about love," the singer said in her acceptance speech. "This is my family and I’m sending love out there to each and everyone one of you - our global family I’m so humbled"

"I love you so very much and I think you know that," she continued. "I really, really love you so very much and I will hold onto this beautiful honour. Thank you."

What an absolute legend.
