Music’s biggest stars convened in downtown Los Angeles on Nov. 20 for the American Music Awards at the Microsoft Theater at L.A. Live. As buzzy new artists and legendary singers hit the red carpet, the pre-ceremony ritual was a showcase for all of the latest fashion trends. We know prints aren’t going anywhere, sparkles are forever and now is the moment to embrace the dark side with looks from Latto, Sabrina Carpenter and more.
