Best Red Carpet Fashion at the 2022 American Music Awards
Check out some of the most eye-catching looks from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, where the music industry came together to mark the 50th annual awards.
Organizers opted for a black carpet at this year’s event, and many attendees followed suit in all-black outfits. Rapper and singer Latto arrived in a dark veil and Becky G wore a Monsoori miniskirt with a long train, while Dove Cameron went for gothic glamor in a look by Marc Jacobs.
But there was also plenty of gold, glitter and sparkle, from singer Pink’s fringed Bob Mackie dress to Kelly Rowland’s sparkly cheetah-print dress.
