Gthere American Music Awards every year they are a perfect stage to give style lessons. The 52nd edition, hosted in Las Vegas and hosted by Queen Latifahhe mixed glamour, provocation and very different stylistic choices: from excessive couture to more minimal looks designed to resist the heat. Between expected performances and stellar nominations (with Taylor Swift among the most nominated but absent from the evening), the red carpet was the real protagonist of the evening.
Queen Latifah, the return of the theatrical diva
Queen Latifah opens the evening in icon mode. His look consists of a spectacular feathered coat cinched at the waist with a statement belt and completed with statemen jewelst. A “cinematic” choice, not very in harmony with the abundant 30 degrees of Las Vegasbut which reiterates his iconic presence in the role of host.
Teyana Taylor, architectural sensuality
Teyana Taylor choose a purple strapless dress with plunging slit. The result is a silhouette built between structure and fluidity, designed to dominate the red carpet with scenic precision. A look that translates its aesthetics into architectural language: sensual, but controlled.
Hilary Duff: return to silver (after 21 years)
Hilary Duff opt for a bright silver dressaccompanied by minimal sandals and discreet jewels. The return to the AMAs, after more than twenty years, translates into a essential and refined choicesuspended between nostalgia and stylistic maturity.
Karol G, couture deconstruction
Karol G interprets the red carpet through contradiction: transparent and deconstructed top combined with a balloon skirt with sculptural proportions. A look that mixes pop and high fashion, built on the tension between lightness and volume, with a strong experimental approach.
Paula Abdul, the language of transparency
Paula Abdul choose a semi-transparent dress which fits into the most iconic tradition of the American red carpet: sensuality as an aesthetic statement, never an accessory.
EJAE, couture structure and sculpted shoulders
EJAE embodies an almost catwalk presence. His look, characterized by a high neck and fully structured shoulders Mugler stylebuilds a graphic and highly editorial silhouette. A presence that transforms the red carpet into a runway, with a precise and controlled aesthetic.
Alysa Liu, the total black urban punk
Alysa Liu choose a total black with a strong characterbuilt on a short jacket and an asymmetrical skirt dominated by a large front pocket that breaks up the geometry of the look. The whole thing is completed with layered necklaces and a clutch with silver metallic detailswhich adds an industrial accent to the overall construction. The result is an urban and contemporary reading of punk filtered through the language of the red carpet.
