The 2020 American Music Awards Red Carpet Was One Fashion Moment After Another

The red carpet was already the focus of attention before the first award was handed out at the 2020 American Music Awards.

The stars started to arrive at Los Angeles’ Microsoft Theatre, and it soon became clear this wasn’t going to be a regular awards show. Social distancing was in effect, but the stars still showed up to make a statement.

The fashion choices ranged from daring, performance-ready looks to glitzy, eye-catching ensembles, demonstrating the energy and creativity that have always been part of the AMAs. With artists such as Taraji P. Henson, Megan Thee Stallion, Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, Jennifer Lopez, and Justin Bieber associated with one of music’s biggest nights, expectations were understandably high.

Watching the arrivals was like flipping through the pages of a fashion magazine in real time. Every turn prompted a new conversation, confirming that the red carpet continues to be one of the most highly anticipated aspects of any major awards show.

Tonight, the 48th annual American Music Awards kick off from Los Angeles’s Microsoft Theatre. Host Taraji P. Henson will lead the star-studded evening, which is one of the music industry’s biggest and most exciting nights. Performers tonight will include some of the biggest acts of the moment, including musicians such as BTS, Katy Perry, Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, Jennifer Lopez, Maluma, Justin Bieber, and many more.
