Gorgeous Hits And Hideous Misses At The 2018 AMAs Red Carpet

It’s that time of year when we can see our favorite celebrities parading their best (or in some case what they thought was their best) looks on the red carpets of the most important awards shows. We all know that, at the end of the day, these one-hour pre-show runways are a spectacle all by themselves with an introduction, development, climax, and conclusion, developed through beautiful, crazy, and sometimes, seriously problematic outfits. However, it’s also a fact that every awards show red carpet has its own essence, and celebrities know this very well.

For over 40 years, the American Music Awards have been a platform for people to choose their favorite artists and productions. That means that it’s a great time for celebrities to see the impact they have on their audience. For that reason, the American Music Awards 2018 red carpet is always a great opportunity to see our favorite musicians and celebrities show their boldest and trendiest outfits. In case you missed it, here are the coolest and most beautiful looks of the night, the ones that only work on the red carpet, and the ones that should’ve never seen the light of day in the first place.

As you can see, some of these outfits are just so amazing that have become part fashion history already. What interested me the most are those in the middle. For me, these are so cool on the red carpet but I don’t quite see them outside of it. Is it just me or red carpet fashion nowadays is just about wearing extremely crazy (most of the times nonsensical) outfits now one will ever use in another context? Who knows perhaps we will be able to rock these at our next events? Which one would you wear?
