Ever year, artists gather at the American Music Awards to celebrate the year’s greatest musical achievements. But stars also seize the opportunity to show off their most dazzling outfits on the red carpet. Some stars opt for glamorous simplicity (Selena Gomez’s elegant red dress, Niall Horan’s dapper striped suit) while others show off their flair for the dramatic (Harry Styles’ floral ensemble, No Doubt’s punk-rock prom chic). No matter which route they take, artists can own the red carpet and dominate headlines for their outfits just as much as their performances. Here are 29 of the best red carpet looks from the AMAs.
