Best red carpet fashion at the 2022 American Music Awards

See some of the most eye-catching looks from LA’s Microsoft Theater, where the music industry gathered to mark the awards’ landmark 50th edition.

The American Music Awards have a long history of delivering spectacular fashion moments — and there was no shortage of bold looks at LA’s Microsoft Theater on Sunday evening.

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 glamour in a look by Marc Jacobs.

But there was plenty of gold, sequins and sparkle too, from singer Pink’s fringed Bob Mackie dress to Kelly Rowland’s shimmering cheetah print gown.

Elsewhere, Anitta impressed in a custom Thierry Mugler outfit with daring cut-outs, and singer Bebe Rexha — who was styled by celebrity favorite Law Roach — wowed in a voluminous red Buerlangma dress ahead of her on-stage performance with David Guetta.
