Music awards hit sweet, sour notes
The American Music Awards are nothing without stars’ off- the- wall fashion choices. And Sunday night’s ceremonies delivered, with a range of looks that were mostly fun, often questionable and sometimes disastrous — but never boring. Take a look at the evening’s best and worst dressed stars.
Best dressed Selena Gomez
This Coach minidress- sized leather jacket of a garment Gomez is wearing is doing everything for us right now, especially paired with her messy new bleach- blond hair.
Jenna Dewan Tatum
Bravo to Dewan Tatum for nailing this nude look from Julien MacDonald.
Demi Lovato
Lovato’s Ester Abner look is vaguely Morticia Addams and a little Elizabeth Taylor and completely flattering on her.
Pink
Yes, Pink’s Monique Lhullier gown is exceedingly pink. But fans don’t often see the singer in overly girlish dresses, and these Disney princess vibes look nice on her.
Tracee Ellis Ross
Ellis Ross was tasked with hosting this year’s AMAs, and she set a high bar on the red carpet in Stella McCartney.
Worst dressed Nick Cannon
Cannon normally looks like a bedazzled mess on the red carpet, and the AMAs were no exception.
Kehlani
From far away, Kehlani looks like she’s wearing a standard naked dress. Up close, she looks like she lost a battle with a colander of spaghetti.
Julia Michaels
Same goes for Michaels, whose poofy red gown doesn’t quite match Pink’s fairy- tale interpretation of a similar look.
Rachel Platten
Between the sheerness and the stripes and the odd strips of coverage, this jumpsuit is too strangely constructed for us to get on board with Platten’s adventurous look.
Alessia Cara
Cara is as lovable a personality as they come in pop music. If only we loved this bodysuit/ sweatpants/ boots combination as much.
Machine Gun Kelly
The rapper’s suit looks like a kids’ bedroom carpet, complete with mini cars on his lapel. We didn’t know the Ikea’s children’s section made bespoke garments.
