In case you missed it, the 2025 American Music Awards were held in Las Vegas on Monday night.
Jennifer Lopez hosted the event, Janet Jackson accepted the night's Icon Award, and numerous celebrities showed up in eye-catching fashion.
While some looks were standouts, others missed the mark entirely.
Here's a look at the best and worst-dressed stars of the night.
Jennifer Lopez stunned in a skin-baring gown.
Defaïence designed her light-brown halter dress.
It was crafted with flowing fabric that extended into a train across the purple carpet. Large silver rings held the below-navel baring dress together.
Lopez completed the daring ensemble with platform sandals and long diamond earrings.
Heidi Klum should have picked a different outfit altogether.
She wore a black Stephane Rolland minidress that was designed to look like an oversize blazer. Unfortunately, it was so large that the effect was lost entirely.
The garment also had a ruffled train that didn't flow very well along the carpet. Instead, it looked like a pile of excess fabric on the ground next to her.
Wayne Brady looked cool and classic in a printed suit.
Some panels of his suit were tan and others were a deep maroon, creating a fun and eye-catching contrast that highlighted its unique diamond pattern.
The actor's suit was also perfectly tailored, making his outfit even sharper.
For accessories, he chose brown patent-leather dress shoes and a two-toned Rolex Submariner watch, which usually costs around $13,000.
Shaboozey's ensemble was a little chaotic.
Etro custom-made his five-piece ensemble. It included a white blouse with a black-lined bowtie, a leather vest decorated with studs, floral-printed blue jeans, a checked blazer, and matching chaps.
The latter garment would have looked better if designed as pants without blue jeans underneath. He also could have forgone his vest to better highlight his standout jacket.
Ciara sparkled in silver and diamonds.
She wore a strapless bodysuit from Bronx and Banco, which was embellished with rows of crystal fringe.
The metallic shade complemented her blonde hair and luminous skin, while her layered diamond necklaces and bracelets added more glamour.
Heidi Montag wore a catsuit that looked more like a stage costume than a red-carpet outfit.
Designed by The Blonds, the royal-blue piece had a structured bodice, a sharp neckline, and long pants with flame-like fringe at the ankles.
Though parts of the outfit worked, like its all-over sparkle, other elements did not. The long pants, for example, overwhelmed Montag.
A minidress made from the same fabric would have better suited the reality star turned musician.
Kendra Scott stood out in silver.
The jewelry designer — who has a net worth of $460 million, according to Forbes — arrived on the red carpet in a metallic dress from Maria Lucia Hohan.
It had a single strap that crossed her collarbones, a deep neckline with a small cutout beneath it, and a wrap skirt.
The unique shape of the dress complemented her figure, and its deep color beautifully suited her dark hair and silver jewelry.
