The 2026 American Music Awards, held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and hosted by Queen Latifah, saw a mix of glamorous and bizarre fashion choices on the red carpet. While nominees like Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga dazzled, several celebrities faced criticism for their fashion missteps. Among the worst dressed were Melanie Martinez, who wore a dramatic brown dress with an oversized feathered skirt and puffy sleeves, and Bebe Rexha, whose black bodysuit paired with a wrinkled leather skirt and fishnet tights failed to impress. Paula Abdul's bold white gown with an oversized fabric piece and Karol G's sheer crop top and puffy skirt also made the list of fashion fails. Other notable mentions included DJ Steve Aoki's bright orange outfit and YouTuber Eva Gutowski's turtleneck dress made of string, both of which were deemed inappropriate for the prestigious event. Overall, the AMAs showcased a range of styles, but many attendees missed the mark.
