Model Gigi Hadid used her hosting gig at today's American Music Awards to mock incoming First Lady Melania Trump.

Impersonating Donald Trump's Slovenian-born wife, Hadid pursed her lips, effected a strong accent and confused the US President-elect with Barack Obama - a reference to Melania's infamous plagiarising of a Michelle Obama speech.

"I love my husband, President Barack Obama and our children, Sasha and Malia," Hadid said.

She'd told co-host Jay Pharoah she'd spent a week working on the gag, her first ever impression.

Hadid also tried rapping during the show and pulled off a number of outfit changes.

The 21-year-old became a talking point on social media as her antics continued, with many criticising her first major hosting gig.
