This year marked a significant milestone for the American Music Awards, celebrating its 50th anniversary with great fanfare in Los Angeles. The event boasted unforgettable performances by iconic artists such as Chaka Khan, Gloria Estefan, Gladys Knight, Jennifer Hudson, and Mariah Carey, as well as country sensation Brad Paisley and rock band Green Day. True to its reputation, the event delivered an impressive show.
However, with such a grand occasion, expectations for fashion were sky-high. One would think that attendees would showcase their best styles in honor of the AMAs’ golden anniversary, but that was far from the case.
Not everyone succeeded in meeting the high standards set for such a glamorous night. While celebrities like Mariah Carey wowed the crowd in a stunning strapless Schiaparelli gown and Jennifer Hudson channeled Whitney Houston perfectly in her exquisite studded black dress, many stars unfortunately fell short, sporting outfits that left much to be desired. Here are some notable fashion misses from what should have been a spectacular night in music.
